Gridly is an all-in-one localization platform that combines a Content Management System, Translation Management System, and Computer-Assisted Translation editor in one place. Built by former game developers, it uses a spreadsheet-like interface with structured columns, stable IDs, and metadata to help teams manage multilingual content across games, software, and digital products. Studios like Rovio, Scopely, Warner Bros. Games, and Hi-Rez Studios use it to translate, track, and ship content across dozens of languages.

• Unified CMS, TMS & CAT: Content management, translation workflows, and translator tools work together in one platform, so developers, managers, and translators collaborate without switching apps.
• Spreadsheet-Style Grids: Structured columns for text, languages, status, media, and numbers keep localization data consistent and easy to scan.
• AI Translation & Automation: Built-in generative AI (via OpenAI LLMs), machine translation, OCR, and text-to-speech automate translation, proofreading, and voiceover generation.
• Translation Memory & Term Bases: The CAT editor offers live suggestions from translation memories and glossaries to keep terminology consistent across projects.
• Game Engine Integrations: Native plugins and API connections with Unity and Unreal Engine sync string data directly with your development pipeline.
• Version Control & Branching: Track every change down to the cell, roll back edits, and use branches to manage parallel content updates safely.
• Automation Actions & Triggers: 20+ ready-made actions respond to cell changes, new content, comments, or ticket activity to run localization tasks automatically.
• Granular Permissions: Role-based access, user groups, and audit trails let you control who can view or edit specific content at any level.

• Centralizes Multilingual Content: Teams stop juggling spreadsheets and file exports, keeping translators, designers, and community managers on the same source of truth.
• Saves Time on Localization: Customer case studies report major workflow gains, including 90% less time processing localization files at CM Games and 10× faster localization cycles at Haufe X360.
• Strong Fit for Game Studios: Unity and Unreal integrations plus branching make it well suited for AAA, indie, and mobile game localization workflows.
• Better Version Control: Cell- and row-level history, branches, change tracking, and selective merging help teams manage content updates and different localization versions

• Learning Curve: New users flag that the platform takes time to learn, and documentation could be clearer for complex setups.
• Minimum Seat Requirements: Small startups find the seat minimums a budget barrier compared to lighter-weight tools.
• Technical Setup Needed for Some Features: APIs, connectors, webhooks, serverless functions, and custom integrations can require technical knowledge.
• May Be More Than Smaller Teams Need: The combination of content management, translation management, CAT, automation, and integrations can feel extensive for teams with simple localization needs.

• Live Ops and Continuous Updates: Mobile game teams push translations for events, bundles, and LiveOps content on tight schedules without losing track of where strings live.
• Software String Management: SaaS and app teams centralize UI strings, error messages, and marketing copy so engineers and localization managers stay aligned across releases.
• Localization QA Workflows: QA specialists categorize bugs by severity and type inside Gridly, making it faster to triage issues found during in-context testing.
• Multi-Step Translation Pipelines: Agencies handle pivoting, voiceover, and language QA in structured steps, useful for adapting Asian games for Western audiences or vice versa.
• Cross-Vendor Collaboration: Internal teams give external translation vendors secure, scoped access to specific content grids without exposing full project data.
