What are processed words?
Find detailed information in the Processed words article.
Overview
Processed words refers to translation-related operations performed within the Lokalise platform. It represents the number of words actively processed by a customer for translation tasks. The calculation is based on all words contained within keys involved in each translation update, including both base and target languages.
Lokalise is still a key-based platform for content management. But with the new price plans, billing is based on processed words, not stored keys. Key storage is now unlimited — expressed as unlimited hosted words.
When words are processed
Words are counted as processed in these cases:
Base content
Initial import of base language content
Updates to base content (via UI, API, import, or integration)
Target content
First-time translation of a key (regardless of input method: UI, import, MT, AI, etc.)
Re-translation triggered by:
A change in the base language
Use of AI/MT (via workflows, tasks, automations, inline suggestions, or translate buttons)
API or import operations
Translation memory (TM) suggestion below 100% match is accepted
Translation is generated or modified inside a branch
When words are not processed
Words are not counted in these cases:
Manual edits to target content without changes to the base language
TM suggestions with 100% match
Re-imports of the same content with no actual changes
Restoring content via translation history or snapshots
Merging or creating branches
Updating metadata or key attributes
Copying or moving keys between projects
Linking keys via the duplicate finder
Clearing translations or using pseudotranslation for visual checks (clearing = not counted, pseudolocalization = counted)
What are basic and advanced seats?
With the new price plans, seats are divided into two types to better match different user roles:
Basic seats
Seats allocated to translators and reviewers. These are intended for users focused on translation work only with the following basic permissions:
View translations: They can see translations for the languages marked as readable.
Review translations: They can change the "review" translation statuses.
Modify translations: They can edit translations for the languages marked as editable. However, if they don’t have the "Contribute to master branch" permission, they can only make changes in non-master branches.
View project information: They’ll be able to see basic project details like base words, completion percentage, and total number of keys.
Manage comments: They can read, create, and delete their own comments.
Browse glossary: They can view glossary entries.
Generate API tokens: They can create personal API tokens.
Advanced seats
Seats for users who perform tasks beyond translation, including:
Managers
Content creators
Developers
Other customizable roles
What is Standard AI/MT and Pro AI?
Find more information in the What is Standard AI/MT and Pro AI? article.
The new price plans introduces two levels of AI and machine translation (MT) to better support different types of content, quality expectations, and workflow needs.
All AI usage in Lokalise is billed based on processed words; that means you're charged only when words are actively translated by an AI engine.
Standard AI/MT
Standard AI/MT includes foundational machine translation systems:
Google Translate
DeepL
A base version of ChatGPT (no context-awareness or scoring)
This option is intended for speed and scale, where content is lower risk and high precision isn't critical.
Key characteristics:
You manually select the engine per project
No contextual awareness — translations don’t consider localization assets, images, or key metadata
No quality scoring or automated fallback
"Good enough by default" — outputs meet general standards but may lack tone, brand consistency, or nuance
Pro AI
Pro AI is Lokalise's premium AI solution. It builds on Standard AI by adding advanced capabilities for teams that care about quality, automation, and brand fidelity.
Pro AI includes:
Access to multiple large language models: ChatGPT, Claude, etc.
Automated routing: Lokalise selects the best engine based on content type and language pair
Context awareness: AI can reference images, descriptions, and localization assets to improve translation accuracy and tone
AI-powered scoring: Translations are automatically evaluated and scored from 0 to 100 using Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM)
Retranslation triggers: Segments scoring below quality thresholds can be flagged for human review or automatic retranslation
Human-in-the-loop workflows: Optional step for high-risk or customer-facing content needing review before publishing
Personalized AI models (available on higher-tier plans): trained on your own content for improved consistency over time
How will free trials work?
You can still explore Lokalise with a free trial. The free trial lasts for 14 days and gives you access to all Enterprise plan features, so you can test advanced functionality such as AI, workflows, integrations, and more. However, usage during the trial is limited to the same operational limits as the Explorer plan.
Once your free trial ends, your account will automatically switch to the Free plan. You can upgrade to any paid plan whenever you're ready.
