Excellent

Crowdin is the most feature-rich of the localization platforms out there. Just as important, it has the best online translation editor for translators. The problem with most localization platforms these days isn't which formats they support or any other engineering feature -- it's that the online translation part is so slow that your translators don't want to use it. Crowdin is the ONLY platform our translators actually enjoy using. That makes it a win-win. Also the customer support is excellent.

This is nitpicky but we run a lot of projects and would like to archive "old" source files without deleting them. Also the way it manages duplicates is not ideal, but we haven't found a platform that does a better job so it's hard to complain.

Crowdin helps us gather translations from our community quickly and easily. All translators immediately know how it works, because the Editor speaks for itself. This means we always have quality translations available for each app update. We're currently making the switch to Crowdin Enterprise, as its extended set of features suit us better. Crowdin offers (free) plans for open-source projects, so we don't have to worry about finances. We're having a hard time understanding why Enterprise is separate from normal Crowdin, but they both work great nevertheless.

Crowdin's core features are incredibly easy to use. With a big variety of settings and options, every project and profile is very customisable and dynamic. Last but certainly not least, Crowdin has an awesome support team. They're continuously helping users get the most out of the product and always looking for solutions on a per-case basis.

Some settings menus are a bit confusing. You'd expect some options to be found somewhere else. Additionally, the developers tend to be a bit slow adding features requested by the community. Some feature requests have been opened for a long time. The support agents do make up for this, though, and they always manage to find alternative solutions.

I like the option to add several languages to the same project and change within the same document.

Some of the languages I work with are not accepted. Moreover, the machine translation does not seem clear to know which was the last option and the best one.

I'm translator of an open-source project and I also propose, implement and use this tool in multiple companies I work for.

All my translators can work with this tool without asking many questions. Support for many formats.

Sometimes slower UI for larger projects.

I used Crowdin a lot for more than 10 years. Is our Rosetta Stone of productivity; very helpful!

Easy to use. Free for Open Source projects.

Some features such as filtering could improve.

Crowdin gives multiple machine translation options, including a free in-house one. It is one of the few services that offers free plans for open-source projects and it gives almost all a user wants when editing and adding translations: keyboard shortcuts, good editor UI, ...

The editor sometimes is a bit slow when saving translations and auto-translated strings are not always responsive.

I have worked with Crowdin from several angles, both as a translator and as a project administrator.

For me, Crowdin is the most convenient service for product localization. I have never needed any more functionality, everything I needed for my work is already available in this service.

I like everything about this product. I don't have any comments.

The opportunity to help other projects and improve yourself in translation

The spell check could be better, at least in my language (Brazilian Portuguese) sometimes the spell check don't make sense

The ease of use for the software developers and translators.

The limitation on managers for open source software.

It's user-friendly and straightforward.

I like everything about Crowdin. There's nothing I like the least about Crowdin.

I would recommend the platform to every SaaS company looking to penetrate the new markets and bring the applications / tools / software itself closer to the local users. Pricing is affordable and the tool can bring a lot of positive impact on the company and the products.

Crowdin is a great platform for translation and localization for every SaaS company. It offers the ability to simultaneously translate the content into several languages and also offers powerful tools to manage the projects. The dashboard itself is pretty clean and straight-forward for both project managers and translators. I have personal experience from both sides, so I will distinguish between them. Translators view: The translation is easy and the platform provides several tidbits to make it even easier. Variables are usually hghlighted using different colour, the dashboard provides the opportunity to raise issue and comments and get in touch with the project managers. Additionally, the strings leverage the power of the Translation Memory and machine translation, both of which help to automate the process and save time. Last, but not least, the Spell Check tool provides reliable results and warnings when the input is not correct. Project manager: Setting up the language is pretty easy and so is the work with the uploaded files and structures. Invitations to join the specific language can be sent via different ways. The approval of the translations is pretty easy as all the important codes and variables are highlighted. Bulk approvals are possible and so are the the bulk declines when the translation or structure are not correct. The project managers have the opportunity to set up a specific treshold point when the Translation Memory should be visible or used to user

Personally, only one negative comment about this platform is the missing highlight of some of the variables (not all), which makes the approval process a bit harder.

We use Crowdin for big video game translation project (translation of 600k words to 5 languages with more than 100 translators). It's the best platform for teams of all sizes. In our case, one language was prepared in-house, and the rest are being prepared by volunteers. The online editor helps to coordinate all the efforts and communicate with everyone in the project. API and CI/CD integration helped a lot as we can deliver automated daily builds of the game with current state of translation and therefore QA team is embedded into the process from the very beginning.

Fast and simple but powerful online editor, so the team can just focus on translating, proofreading and communication only by using the editor. Very good management of source files - possiblities to API and CI/CD integration, especially useful for big teams. Machine translation integration for engines like Google Translate or DeepL. Intuitive pricing plans. Fast customer support.

For some users the online editor was too complex. There could be a new editor mode with very simple UI and only basic features.

At dm-dogerie markt, we fully utilize Crowdin to translate and keep our online shop as well as our app up to date in 14 languages. Over 250 people have access to the platform. Additionally, other departments such as ERP and logistics also utilize Crowdin for their processes. Security has been a crucial aspect for us, which is why we greatly appreciate the availability of Single Sign-On (SSO) and System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM).

fast and easy translations for over 250 users in the corporation

A simple overview of which teams a user is a part of.

Terminology is easy to keep consistent when you can check your earlier solutions.

Translation memory and suggestions. You can use it on multiple platforms. Changing translations too complicated in Enterprise version, the old one has to be deleted to apply the new one and you easily forget and overlook that.

Small and capital letters not separated in search.

All-in-one localization project management platform which can save you lots of money.

We tried other localization project management platforms in the past, but Crowdin makes the difference. The best feature is that it tracks repetitive lines of text each time when we submit our files for translation so they don't count for translation points over and over again. This only feature saves us a lot of money. The support is very responsive on Skype and lots of translators available all the time.

I wish they could simplify the user interface as I had some issues in the beginning when I tried to set up the environment.

For a translation platform that combines user-friendliness, collaboration, powerful features, and exceptional support, look no further than Crowdin.

For the long time that I used Crowdin, either to help translate and approve countless strings on projects such as Minecraft, GitLab or Discord, I never had a major complaint over the years, since 2017. Crowdin takes the cake with its user-friendly interface, robust features, and exceptional support. I will indeed reinforce the whole website interface, the layout is intuitive and clean, making it easy for both project managers and translators to navigate without any steep learning curve.

So far, I have no negative opinion about the platform.

The spell check feature is amazing. As a translator I sometimes get corrected in things I didn't even have a grammatical clue.

The interface is kind of overwhelming with all the available tools everywhere but it's a matter of time to get used to it.

Crowdin provides enough instruments for translation such as searching/filtering, comparing different languages, machine translation, translation database, description section for concepts. Moreover, it is so easy to use these features. I was able to adapt myself even on first use.

As I emphasized previously, spell checking feature is not enough for translation activity. Developing of the spell checking for all languages -if it is possible- could be helpful for translators and editors.

As a translator, I am very happy with crowdin and I always liked using it.

Its ease of use and how it focus on the task. There are no unnecessary information on the screen and you can just work. I like that you can see the translation from other languages, which help a lot.

The layout is locked. If it was modular and you could show or hide specific blocks and position them on different part of the screen, I think it would improve my workflow

It had been pleasure localizing the strings with the help of Crowdin.

The Machine Translation, suggestions from previously translated strings, possible matches along with the percentage of match.

The spell check for the Tamil Language can be better to include some more grammatical errors.

I've been using the product for years, and will continue to do so! Everything from the integrations with codebases, to the UI for doing translations is great!

I love the integration with Github actions. Having our translation source files sync with our code repos is amazing!

The process of adding screenshots for context is pretty good, but it would be nice to be able to easily add screenshots from the translation UI, or include screenshots as part of the comments section during the translation process.

I would really recommend it if you need a software to keep track of your translations.

I liked that we could see what translations are new/changed. Before we used Crowdin there was no way to know what words are still in need to be translated. Also the integration with version control (Bitbucket) is a big plus to automate things.

The setup of the integration is sometimes a bit difficult. It's also not that easy to manage user over different projects, you have to add them to every project one by one...

Crowdin is so easy to use, that I can concentrate on the translation work at hand, without having to find out how things work first. I never needed to read the manual.

I can't name any shortcomings, after over 5 years of regular use.

More prompt response against the client's feedback is possible.

Product is is to use and M/T support function is useful.

After importing the file which has been performed with other tool, there is no function to import it with confirmation.

Our experience with Crowdin has been highly enjoyable. It has streamlined our translation processes and simplified collaboration. We're thrilled with the overall results it has delivered for our team.

Crowdin's cloud-based platform made managing translations a breeze. It's incredibly user-friendly, and we particularly appreciated the robust API. The screenshot auto-tagging feature was a game-changer for us.

We found it a bit challenging to work with branches, and the integration with Git didn't feel as seamless as we'd hoped.
