Concrete capability record
Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits
A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.
02 · Data you can retrieve
Projects, tasks, contributors, languages, files, keys, screenshots, glossaries, translation progress, and other toolkit-supported localization resources.
03 · Actions and write paths
Create localization tasks, add target languages, create/update glossary terms, and perform other actions included in the selected toolkit.
04 · Authentication and permissions
OAuth 2.0 is recommended; scoped Lokalise API tokens are also supported. A plan with API access is required. OAuth or token scopes and project roles determine which reads and writes are available.
05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery
Use read-only credentials for analysis. Require explicit review for project setup, contributor changes, target-language additions, task creation, key/translation changes, and glossary updates. Beta and product-line limits apply. Lokalise positions REST APIs for repeatable deterministic automation and MCP for agent-driven ad hoc work.
06 · Gaps and implementation limits
Beta and product-line limits apply. Lokalise positions REST APIs for repeatable deterministic automation and MCP for agent-driven ad hoc work.

Single-platform patterns
- Product and campaign localization studio
- Media production console
- Localization and variant studio
- Review-and-approval queue
Multi-platform compositions
- Lokalise + publishing or campaign platform: media production console
- Lokalise + DAM or CMS + social or video distribution system: cross-system decision workspace
Evidence and dates
First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated
“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
