Building software for multiple platforms without multiple codebases? That’s the dream. At Localazy, we needed our CLI to work across Windows, macOS, Linux, NPM, and Docker, but maintaining separate codebases was no longer viable. So, we decided to use Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP): a technology that makes cross-platform development much easier. And it did. → One codebase supports multiple platforms, reducing inconsistencies. → Custom networking improves Windows performance, while macOS has custom integrations. → Every push triggers automated builds, making releases a breeze. We were able to use Kotlin 2.1.10 and automated macOS notarization without a dedicated Mac. You can read a short walkthrough of this process below: #kotlin #cli #development #automation #multiplatform

Some brands do great in Hebrew-speaking markets like Israel. Others fail. Why? It’s all about localization. Hebrew is a distinct language. It reads from right to left. It has rules about gender. It has cultural details. Literal translation alone is not enough when you enter this market. Look at Starbucks. Israel loves coffee. But Starbucks wasn't able to adapt to local tastes. Their attempts to stay relevant in the market didn’t work. Now look at McDonald’s. They changed their menu for Israelis. They succeeded. Hebrew is one of the oldest languages, over 3,000 years old, and it is spoken by 9 million people worldwide. Israel is a tech hub, full of startups, which makes it a key market in the world's economy. Using a localization platform is a must for localizing the right way for this market. And ours comes with all the capabilities you'd need to work with languages like Hebrew. We support right-to-left languages like Hebrew. We make it easy to check every translation to make sure it’s perfect. Want to learn more, not just about localization, but about this growing market?

What is the best way to achieve results when collaborating with another agency? We’d like to introduce you to Commly: the only agency that does more than PR. For example, we recently expanded into the Polish market and wanted to demonstrate our expertise and how we could help Polish brands grow beyond their borders. Thanks to Commly, we were able to share our message about the power of localization with an audience of over 3.6M visitors in highly relevant outlets. Commly produced compelling PR and communication strategies that amplified our brand’s message. We’re proud to work with them and would happily recommend their services to our network.

Imagine you're planning a trip abroad. What's the first thing you do? Obviously, you check flights, accommodations, and what the locals recommend. You browse options online, compare deals, and decide on the perfect itinerary: ➤ A cozy boutique hotel with stunning city views. ➤ A budget-friendly Airbnb at the heart of the city. ➤ A luxurious resort with all the amenities you could dream of. ➤ Or maybe a charming countryside cottage for some peace and quiet. Prices are transparent, and once you’ve picked your favorite, booking is just a few clicks away. Your trip is now planned, and you’re ready to explore. But wait, what if your favorite travel app didn’t have the right language, pricing in your currency, or even culturally relevant suggestions? You wouldn’t be able to do any of this. That’s why localization matters. Otherwise, you’re making it difficult for users to use your product. Localization makes sure the smooth experience we mentioned doesn’t remain just a high expectation but becomes a reality. From hiring translators to managing translations, our platform equips you with the resources so your users can connect with your product, no matter where they’re from. But before we take this step, you need to be prepared for the costs that come with this process. And we wrote a short piece to inform you about them.

Would you trust a skincare brand just because an ad told you to? Probably not. But what if your best friend raved about how incredible the products were? You’d be curious. You might even give them a try. That’s exactly how LUSH won over Japanese customers. Instead of pushing ads, they opened their factory doors. In 2015, Lush Japan (ラッシュジャパン合同会社 (LUSH JAPAN G.K)) launched behind-the-scenes factory tours, allowing visitors to see how their fresh, handmade cosmetics were made. Their goal was to turn visitors into brand advocates. And it worked. Customers who took the tours shared their experiences, posted about it online, and spread the word to friends and family. Lush found a way to build trust, authenticity, and a community. This word-of-mouth strategy helped them thrive in one of the most selective markets in the world. But for their brand to be worthy of word-of-mouth marketing, they had localized their assets and made custom products for the Japanese market (you can see in the example below how carefully they approached their website localization.) If you want to win over Japanese consumers, take a page from Lush’s book: Be transparent, build trust, localize, and let your customers do the talking.
