Hello World: Welcome, Foxalize!
We're Catix, a tiny team that builds games and apps. And today we're introducing something we originally made for ourselves — Foxalize, a simple localization tool powered by AI.
If you've ever needed to translate your app, game, website, or really any content into multiple languages and thought "why is this so complicated?" — we built this for you. Upload your translation file, translate with AI, review, and download. No enterprise setup, no steep learning curve, no hidden costs.
Where It Started
Foxalize started with a real problem. We launched Grand Star, an iOS hidden object puzzle adventure, and after launch we wanted to bring it to players in more languages. So we went looking for a localization tool.
The options we found are powerful platforms, but they're designed for enterprise teams with dedicated localization workflows — far more than what we needed. Other tools had pricing models that felt unnecessarily complicated: pay for a plan, then buy credits on top of that for AI translations. We just wanted something straightforward.
So we built it. A tool that does exactly what we needed: upload an XLIFF file, translate with AI, download, and import back into Xcode. Clean and simple.
It worked. Grand Star now ships in multiple languages, all translated through Foxalize. When players started leaving happy reviews in German, French, and Spanish, we knew it worked.
Why Foxalize?
Foxalize takes your localization files and translates them using AI — quickly, accurately, and with no extra fees for AI translations.
Here's the entire workflow:
- Upload your file — JSON, CSV, or XLIFF
- Add the languages you want to translate to
- Translate with AI — included free on every plan
- Review and edit any translations
- Download your file in the same format, structure intact
That's it. Whether you're localizing an iOS app from Xcode, a web app with JSON strings, or product descriptions sitting in a spreadsheet — Foxalize handles it. Supports JSON, CSV, XLIFF 1.2 & 2.0, and a free tier with 300 keys to get started.
Need a second pair of eyes? Invite teammates, translators, or native speakers to review and edit translations together — included free on every plan.
You don't need to be a developer to use it, either. If your marketing team has a CSV of website copy that needs translating, they can do it themselves. No terminal commands, no complex setup.
Why...fox?
Our cat had the fluffiest tail we'd ever seen — so fluffy we never really called him a cat. He was our little fox. He passed away last year, and Caramel Cloudfox, our fox-cat mascot, is a small tribute to him. You can meet the whole furry crew over on the Catix blog.
Who It's For
We built Foxalize for anyone who needs localization to just work: indie developers shipping games or apps to multiple markets, small teams and startups who don't need enterprise overhead, and anyone localizing website copy, storefront materials, or social media content across languages.
What's Next
Foxalize is simple by design — and still evolving. The core is solid and we use it in production every day, but we're actively building new features: version history, key statuses, additional file formats, and more.
If you try it and something's missing or could be better, we'd love to hear from you. Every message at contact@foxalize.ch gets read. Your feedback directly shapes what we build next.
