Excellent Core Features
Overall good experience for the free tier Tolgee is providing for my usecase.
PROSEasy of setting up translations for multi-languages and automatic machine translated texts.
CONSFeatures specific to ARB extension and singular/plural translation is missing.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your nice review! Unfortunately, there are plenty of formats out there, and we're unable to support all of them now. We are currently focusing primarily on major Javascript frameworks. Thanks again for your support!

A great low-cost alternative to big name platforms
Before discovering tolgee all of the translations for our projects where managed through excel files. It is needless to say how ingredient it was. At some point we realized we needed a translation management solution. I spent a couple of months researching available options. I found out that most of the solutions out there were either prohibitively expensive or didn't have the required functionality. Even many of the paid solutions didn't always have all of the features we needed. And then I discovered tolgee...
PROSTolgee is fully-featured, well designed, modern and slick translation management system. It had every handy feature we needed out of the box. It's also open source and very easy to deploy and configure should you choose a self-hosted option.
CONSTolgee is still young and undergoes major development and improvement. This may lead to some breaking changes if your apps rely on tolgee's API.
Reason for choosing Tolgee
It was almost free and had all of the features we needed
Vendor Response
Dear Armen, thank you for your great review! We're glad that Tolgee has been a significant improvement for your translation management needs. We are constantly working to improve our system and make it even better for our users.

Vendor Response
Hey Heba, Thanks for giving Tolgee a frontend review! We're thrilled you like how clients can jump right into editing – it's all about saving time! I am not perfectly sure what you mean by nesting translations in same application. If you could drop us an email at chalupnikova@tolgee.io with more specifics, we'd be super grateful. Thank you!

Free trial test
The easy to use multilanguage support and easy integration with next.js and SSR nextjs is amazing
CONSThe pricing was a bit too much, if someone wants a real app with multiple language support the limited free tier can be exceeded easily, and not everyone want to pay for localization when the app does not make any revenue
Reason for choosing Tolgee
SSR and next.js documentation and support
Vendor Response
Hi Kristóf! Thanks for giving Tolgee a spin! We appreciate your feedback. We do offer pay-as-you-go pricing, which can be friendlier for smaller projects. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or need support along the way.

Interesting
The problem was to localize media contents.
PROSControlling translation DB was really good.
CONSI mostly used Figma plugin and it is the main reason I have stopped using Tolgee, because it was really annoying to choose the keys each time. I think it is a really good tool to localize graphics but the pricing is really high in my opinion. Maybe a lower pricing subscription plan can be a better option.
Reasons for switching to Tolgee
In my opinion, Figma plugin needs to be more flexible or user-friendly.
Vendor Response
Hello Mehmet, thank you for your valuable feedback. I am sorry to see you go and not using Tolgee anymore. Hovewer, Tolgee is primarily designed for localizing web applications, and it's not optimized for localizing media contents. Regarding pricing, we appreciate your input on this matter. We continuously review our pricing structures, and we'll certainly take your suggestion into consideration for future plans. We'd love to understand more about the specific issues you encountered using our Figma plugin. Could you please share further details about your experience with the Figma plugin? You can reach out to us at chalupnikova@tolgee.io. Thank you and have a nice day! Marketa

One stop shop for yll translation needs1
It's crafted with love, it has some "definition gaps" and uncovered edge cases but it's easy to find workarounds for all of them.
PROSTheir in browser integration makes it super easy to change texts and add translations. Period.
CONSthere is nothing to dislike tbh.What I would love though is to automatically translate all strings once a new language is selected. Its a bit tedious to go through each and every string to add the new translations. If this is possible I was not able to find the option. the in browser editing did not reliably work in "non-text" mode in my react/nextjs setup. When I switched to "text" all worked perfectly.
Reason for choosing Tolgee
the other was crap.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your awesome review, Peter. We released the Batch operations feature not so long ago, which will help automatically translate all your strings. Hope it will make your localization workflow easier!

Time-saving, effective, easy-to-use tool for translation
I really like this tool. My client has set it up and asked me to use it for my proofreading, and I'm glad that she implemented it.
PROSYou can choose which machine translation to use (Google, DeepL, and the other 2 machines) on each sentence (yes, it's each sentence) and compare the sentences to get the best one. Also, the proofreader can modify it to make it sound better and more natural. It's very easy to use. As a proofreader, using Tolgee is the best work experience.
CONSSometimes it's not easy to find which sentences I have already checked. However, my client found a solution by adding a tag, so this is not a big issue. I wonder if there are any functions that I can download all the sentences that I proofread.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your wonderful review, Hiroko! We're thrilled to hear that Tolgee has been a time-saving and easy-to-use tool for your translation work. I am glad that you have found a creative way to solve your needs in Tolgee platform. Currently, Tolgee offers 3 states of translation: untranslated, translated, and reviewed. You can change the state to mark the translations which have already been reviewed by a button in the right part of each translation. Unfortunately, there is no option for downloading the reviewed sentences at the moment. Feel free to reach out at info@tolgee.io if you have any questions. We'd be happy to discuss your specific project needs!

Tolgee - affordable & convenient localisation tool
We've actively used Tolgee for a few months and are happy with the tool. I've been the most active user on our team, overseeing all translations and personally working on the Russian localisation. As for suggestions, I would benefit from being able to search across all projects because sometimes we have to locate a key or a phrase and it's not clear which project(s) it can be found in.
PROSThe interface is very simple and to-the-point. It's easy to navigate around the platform and oversee the progress across the projects. Machine translations are great and as correct as you could expect them to be. The translation memory functionality comes in handy for keeping the translations consistent and quickly translating repeating keys. Filtering and tags work great and allow us to quickly locate new and missing keys.
CONSSo far there's only one thing that is slightly annoying - the error messages that sometimes pop up during active use. However, it's easy to click out of those and they usually don't crash anything.
Vendor Response
Thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed review, Anastasia! I'm thrilled to hear that you find Tolgee affordable and convenient for localization. Your insight about searching across all projects is really great one! We will definitely discuss it.

Fluent Search localization experience
Localizing Fluent Search wouldn’t have been as easy without Tolgee. As a software targeted toward power users, it has more than 500 settings, each including name, descriptions, and many tooltips with over 1800 keys to be translated, with new keys added every week. Using Tolgee has been a breeze for the translators using machine and memory translations, while also providing the modern APIs I needed to fully integrate it into a CI/CD pipeline for deployment and version managing.
PROSEasy to use interface and modern set of APIs for seemless integration of my app update pipeline.
CONSAccessibility support for the website. Some of the translators for my app are visually impaired and did it not find Tolgee as accessible.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your detailed review, Adir. We are aware of the imperfections of accessibility; we plan to focus on this issue next year. Thank you for your support.

This app has solved all our translation problems
We use Tolgee in our ReactJS apps. Everything works perfectly. We translate the most important texts right in the website. Hidden text like error messages are translated using the web interface of Tolgee app. Deployment is really easy, just save the translations and upload them to the production.
PROSThe best feature is translation tool in browser which allows us to translate text directly on page.
CONSThe application doesn't have any bigger issues, just the design of UI is a little old-school.
Reason for choosing Tolgee
Price, easy to use, feature that allows to translate text right in the site.

Tolgee is a really useful software
The translation is very easy and very fast. It is a real gain of time.
PROSThe integration is pretty easy because we didn't have any other software which was doing the same thing, we would just translate everything manually which was pretty long. What I like the most is the automated translation which is very accurate and help me translate everything in a very short period of time. The collaboration in team is also very easy.
CONSThe product is already really good but if I had an advice of improvement, I would use some machine learning to add a percentage of accuracy of the translation using the data of people who changed the automated translation with something else.
Vendor Response
Hi Eunice, thank you for this very positive review! In 2023, we plan to create Tolgee's very own translator to provide the best possible software translation results, reflecting particular context and terminology. Stay tuned!
