locAGI review
A modern web CAT platform with a generous free core and flexible AI options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
locAGI is a browser-based computer-assisted translation platform for localisation teams, linguists and reviewers. Its core workspace combines a source-target CAT editor with searchable translation memory, concordance, pretranslation, project termbases and terminology controls. MQM and LISA quality review, bilingual alignment, AI-assisted translation, post-editing and live collaboration extend the workflow beyond basic translation editing. Teams can work with comments, mentions and autosave, while REST API access, webhooks and an OpenAPI specification support automation.
Pricing is structured around a free core and two AI usage models. The Free forever plan includes the integrated CAT editor, unlimited seats, included storage and workspace creation without a credit card. Pay-as-you-go AI uses tokens provisioned by locAGI, with payment based on consumption and no monthly minimum. The Bring your own keys option supports OpenAI, Anthropic and Google API keys; provider charges go directly to the customer, with no locAGI AI markup. Storage and AI usage therefore suit teams that want to start without a subscription commitment but should be considered in ongoing budget planning.
Format and ecosystem support are a strong fit for multilingual operations. locAGI supports round-trip workflows for XLIFF, MQXLIFF, SDLXLIFF, TMX and TBX, and connects with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, DeepSeek, xAI, DeepL, Ollama, memoQ, Trados and Phrase. The main trade-off is deployment: it is web-based rather than an offline desktop application, and it is currently in private beta ahead of a planned Q2 2027 public release. Teams seeking collaborative browser workflows, integrated QA and flexible AI access should consider locAGI; teams requiring offline desktop work should choose an alternative.
