Report: "Machine translations are delayed when using the autoApprove feature"

Last update
resolved

The problem was identified and a fix was deployed. Thank you for your patience, the Localize team.

investigating

We are continuing to investigate the issue.

investigating

This incident only affects customers who use the auto-approve option when initializing Localize on their website. While newly found phrases are still being automatically moved to the Published bin, machine translations are not immediately being generated. Machine translations can still be manually ordered, or they will be auto-generated within 48 hours, they just won't be generated immediately. Our development team is actively looking into the cause of this issue.

Report: "Increased error rates affecting the Localize Javascript SDK"

Last update
resolved

Between 7:04 AM ET and 7:49 AM ET (11:04-11:49 UTC) on August 16, Localize's infrastructure monitoring system notified our team of increased error rates affecting a group of servers responsible for (1) processing phrases ingested by the Localize Javascript SDK and (2) delivering translation dictionary files requested by the Localize Javascript SDK. During this 45 minute time period, the Localize Javascript SDK experienced an interruption of phrase ingestion and translation delivery that affected 8% of customers. We have taken steps to identify and rectify the underlying issue. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your account manager or email support@localizejs.com.

Report: "Login Temporarily Disabled"

Last update
postmortem

We are pleased to notify you that this incident has been resolved. Your Localize Dashboard is now accessible. During a routine system security audit, an error occurred that led us to disable customer access to the Localize Dashboard on September 23rd. We were able to resolve the error later that day, but decided to keep the Localize Dashboard disabled through the 24th as a precautionary measure as our engineers worked overtime to ensure that no mistakes were made in the course of resolving this incident. Degraded service availability was isolated to the Localize Dashboard and did not impact on the deliverability of translations to Localize customers translating their websites or web applications using our service. The Localize API and CLI also remained operational during this incident. We apologize for the inconvenience this incident may have caused. Localize values reliability, performance, and security to the highest degree, and these qualities are what has attracted more than 500 companies to rely on Localize as their primary localization platform. In this case, the internal security auditing and testing that we regularly perfrom to ensure that Localize is a highly secure platform resulted in the temporary degradation of the reliability of our platform. As a result of this incident, 1% of user accounts will observe a small degree of data inconsistency. We will personally notify affected customers within 24 hours. 99% of users accounts were not affected by this incident, and we will be working with those who were affected over the coming days. In the unlikely case that your account was affected, the data inconsistency is relatively minor and we have full data backups that we are using to fully resolve the data inconsistencies on a case-by-case basis. In response to this incident, we will be modifying our internal security auditing procedures and testing procedures so that the measures we deploy to ensure the ongoing security of the Localize platform does not compromise the reliability of the platform moving forward. If you have any questions, please email support@localizejs.com and we will be happy to assist. For urgent inquires, you may email urgent@localizejs.com. You may also reach us by telephone Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am - 5pm PT at +1 (415) 651-7030. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by this incident. As our first major service degradation over the past 12 months, we are taking this incident very seriously. You can rest assured that we are taking every precaution to ensure our that we deliver on our promise to provide a consistently secure, reliable, and performant localization platform that all of our customers have come to depend on.

resolved

Access to the Localize Dashboard has now been restored.

identified

Although we have restored all services, we are voluntarily continuing to limit access to the Localize Dashboard for the next few hours as a precautionary measure as we ensure that each customer account is fully operational. This partial degradation of service only impacts the Localize dashboard, and translations deployed to your website and through our backend API service have remained unaffected through the course of this incident. We will post a final update in the coming hours when the Localize Dashboard is fully restored for all customers. Please email "urgent@localizejs.com" if there are urgent changes that you must make to your account prior to full service restoration.

identified

All approved and active translations are still running on your applications, but are currently not accessible from your Localize Dashboard. We're still working to restore functionality by end of day. We'll continue to update our progress.

Report: "Issue with archived (deprecated) phrases"

Last update
resolved

We’ve identified and addressed the cause of the issues related to deprecated phrases. The incident has now been fully resolved. Issue: Deprecated phrases were not being reactivated when the application is reloaded. Status: Resolved. The Deprecated phases functionality is now working as intended. Localize archives (deprecates) content that has not been detected on your website after 14 days, to optimize the load speed of our library. If that deprecated content is detected again on your application, it will be restored automatically. The default setting for this feature is enabled. If you turned this feature off and would like it re-enabled, you can turn deprecation back on in your project settings under "archive unused phrases" in your project settings.

monitoring

We continue to monitor the status of our site and all related services. If you are experiencing problems, please email support@localizejs.com for assistance.

monitoring

We have mitigated the problem and are closely monitoring the situation.

monitoring

We are currently monitoring the situation closely. We will provide an update as soon as the issue is completely resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please, contact support@localizejs.com if you have any questions or need any assistance.

investigating

We are currently investigating issues with archived (deprecated) phrases. Phrases get deprecated after 14 days of not being detected (visited) on your website. Typically, when your end-user visits the page the deprecated phrase is automatically reactivated and moved back into Published and the translation will render on your application. We have noticed a minor bug where deprecated phrases are not being moved back to active once the page is visited. Please, contact support@localizejs.com if you have any questions or need any assistance. When the deprecation issue is resolved, we will provide an update here. We appreciate your patience.

Report: "In-App Subscription issues"

Last update
postmortem

A subscription bug was introduced on Friday, March 23rd preventing any users on a free trial plan from enrolling in a paid subscription from within the Localize app. This issue also prevented any customers currently on a paid plan from upgrading or downgrading subscriptions from within the Localize app. This issue happened during a pricing and plan change deployment for future customers and occured due to an incomplete front end testing setup in place to ensure in-app plan enrollment actions worked as normal. The issue impacted users on a free trial trying to move to a paid subscription and current paid customers attempting to upgrade or downgrade their plan subscription. Moving forward, we will be taking steps to mitigate the chances of such issues from occurring again. Additional QA processes will be enacted across code deploys; especially ones that directly impact end user interactions and additional integration tests will be implemented that ensure specific high traffic paths are tested on a hourly and code change basis. Please do not hesitate to reach out to support@localizejs.com with any questions.

identified

The underlying issue has been resolved and the affected systems are being monitored to confirm resolution of the affected system components.

identified

The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.

investigating

We are investigating a networking and connectivity problem causing increased latency and connectivity issues between a subset of our servers and other key infrastructure components. Currently this is affecting a small subset of servers which are responsible for performing background tasks affecting certain services noted below. Service status: Phrase Ingestion -- Degraded Performance. Our "overflow" system which is part of a redundancy system relating to phrase ingestion is experiencing an outage, however, the primary system responsible for phrase ingestion remains unaffected. The overflow system affected by this incident is not expected to affect Phrase Ingestion. In the unlikely event that this changes, the status of the Phrase Ingestion component will be updated. Translation ordering -- partial outage. Orders placed on the dashboard will not be immediately sent to the third-party translation provider. You may safely place new orders, and existing orders are unaffected. Newly placed orders will be received, but will experience a delay in the order's submission to the third-party translation provider pending resolution. Realtime translation deployment - partial outage. Real-time translation deployments are paused and queued to be performed when the Worker Service becomes fully operational. Changes to phrases and translations made during this incident will be deployed and will reflect on your live website when the incident is resolved. File Import / Export - degraded performance. File import and export may experience degraded performance.
