Short answer

How can I track my translation progress with AI?

Your AI pulls real-time data from Lokalise to show you project completion rates and language availability. You'll get instant updates on translation orders without logging into the dashboard. This breakdown shows you how to manage those requests.

Where your data lands.

Real-time project visibility.

The AI pulls specific details from Lokalise and organizes them into these four outcomes.

STATUS

Project completion updates

The AI checks your current project status. You'll see exactly how much work is finished and what's left to do.

LOCALES

Language availability checks

The AI lists which languages are ready for your project. This helps you know which locales are good to go.

ORDERS

Translation order tracking

The AI monitors your active translation requests. You get direct updates on the status of specific orders.

HUMAN

Manual review required

If an order is stuck or a project hits an error, the AI flags it. You'll know when you need to jump into the Lokalise dashboard to fix things.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Instead of you clicking through menus, your AI performs the heavy lifting by calling specific Lokalise tools.

  1. Fetch project status

    The AI pulls the current state of your specific translation project to give you a high-level overview.

    get_project

  2. Check language readiness

    The AI scans your project to see which languages have been completed or are still pending.

    list_languages

  3. Monitor order progress

    The AI looks up your recent translation requests to find out if they are in progress or finished.

    list_orders

  4. Summarize findings

    The AI combines the retrieved data into a plain English summary for you to read.
