# Lokalise Cost Tuning ## Overview Optimize Lokalise localization spending across plan tiers, contributor seats, Translation Memory (TM) leverage, machine translation (MT) triage, and dead key cleanup. Lokalise pricing is per-seat subscription (Essential ~$120/user/month, Pro ~$290/user/month) with optional pay-per-use for MT and AI features. ## Prerequisites - Lokalise Admin role for billing and usage visibility - `LOKALISE_API_TOKEN` with read access to project statistics - Understanding of translation workflow (human, MT, or hybrid) - `curl` and `jq` for API queries ## Instructions ### Step 1: Audit Current Usage ```bash set -euo pipefail echo "=== Lokalise Usage Audit ===" # Get all projects with statistics PROJECTS=$(curl -sf "https://api.lokalise.com/api2/projects?limit=100&include_statistics=1" \ -H "X-Api-Token: ${LOKALISE_API_TOKEN}") echo "$PROJECTS" | jq -r '.projects[] | [.name, .statistics.keys_total, (.statistics.languages // [] | length), .statistics.progress_total] | @tsv' \ | column -t -s $'\t' -N "Project,Keys,Languages,Progress%" # Totals TOTAL_KEYS=$(echo "$PROJECTS" | jq '[.projects[].statistics.keys_total] | add') TOTAL_LANGS=$(echo "$PROJECTS" | jq '[.projects[] | (.statistics.languages // [] | length)] | max') PROJECT_COUNT=$(echo "$PROJECTS" | jq '.projects | length') echo "" echo "Totals: ${PROJECT_COUNT} projects, ${TOTAL_KEYS} keys, up to ${TOTAL_LANGS} languages" echo "" # Contributor count (seats = cost driver) TEAMS=$(curl -sf "htt...
