Find out what localisation support is really costing you

Every software localisation team deals with context queries. Developers answering questions about where strings appear. Translators guessing at meaning. Reviewers logging issues into spreadsheets. These disruptions add up fast, but most organisations never calculate the total.

This calculator gives you a clear, data-backed estimate of the operational hours and cost your team loses to localisation context queries each year. Adjust the inputs to match your organisation and see exactly how much capacity is going to support work instead of product work.

rigi by xtm

Free engineering from localisation once and for all

Rigi by XTM is a visual context platform for software localization. It connects to your development environment and TMS, captures live HTML previews of your application, and automatically links every string to its exact location in the UI.

Technical writers, translators, and in-country reviewers all see how text appears in the real product, in real time. No staging environments. No navigational instructions. No developer queries.

Organisations using Rigi report a 90% reduction in developer time spent on localisation support and 25% shorter turnaround times.

Your localization workflow has a $675k problem

Most localization teams track cost per word. Few track what happens between translation and release: rework cycles, reviewer questions, engineering time spent providing context.

This guide breaks down where the biggest hidden costs are, why they persist, and what it takes to close the gap.
