Redokun: the Localize alternative for translating documents
Localize translates websites and web apps: add a snippet, and it detects and publishes content on your live site. Redokun translates the files your team produces, such as catalogues, datasheets, and InDesign brochures, and gives them back in the same format.
Translate a few times a year? Project Pass: one project, one price.
Translate regularly? The Workspace Plan.

Which tool fits your team
Localize and Redokun solve different problems. A manufacturer can need both: one for the website, one for the documents.

Your website is one translation job. Your catalogue is another.
A website tool works on live pages. It finds new text on your site and publishes the translation back to it. That suits web content that changes weekly.The materials a manufacturer's marketing team sends to distributors are a different kind of work.
A 60-page InDesign catalogue has to come back ready for print, with tables and part numbers in place. A datasheet revision changes 3 specs. Your translators should see those 3, not the whole document again. Your German distributor translates your German materials. They need access to the files, not to your website.
Redokun is built for this second job. Upload the file, invite your translators, and download the finished document.

What changes when you translate in Redokun
Your InDesign catalogue comes back ready for a final check
Redokun is an Adobe Technology Partner. Upload your .idml file and download it translated, with tables, callouts, and part numbers in place. No one rebuilds the layout by hand.
Translate an InDesign file
Every translator uses the same Glossary
Add part names, safety terms, and brand language once. The Glossary applies to every segment, document, and language, so a term cannot drift between your German and French data sheets.

When a spec changes, translators only see what changed
Upload the revised datasheet. Quick Revisions carries over every confirmed segment in every language, so your translators handle only the new or edited text.
