I fully agree with you that high-quality localization needs more than just hitting the button.

I also fully agree that professional translators have their unique role and that they are irreplaceable. However, Localazy allows you to involve real users of your app/SW, and they, to some extent, may be an even better fit than professional translators as they have actual experience with the app, understand the context, etc.

However, when no users are willing to translate the app to their native language (and it's a typical case for some markets where localization is critical), professional translators are the way to go.

By the "good enough", I mean translation that is mostly accurate but may contain some issues. Such translation is usually an excellent motivation for users to come and help to improve it. Again, real users with real experience.

I will be glad if you try the service and let me know your comments, suggestions, and ideas. Feel free to get connected: linkedin.com/in/vaclavhodek/
