It once changed the formatting of the HTML tables in our markdown files. Now the bug has been fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Crowdin mostly for Shopify localization projects as well as other integrations. They have a ton of integrations, the pricing is reasonable (especially compared to other translation management systems) and they have a phenomenal support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can be a bit complex if you are not used to it, so it requires a bit of a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdin has a pretty easy user interface that is intuitive. The way it is structured makes it easy to translate fast and efficient. The fact that you can make your own glossary and addspecific terminology to your prjoect is very helpfull as well. TMs work pretty fast, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Big chunks of text in one string seem to be a bit of a problem and have hard times loading. It also depends a bit on the browser you use. Firefox seems to be more stable than Chrome for example.

It would be great if there would be the option to find untranslated text strings while they stay in their respective location in a document. You can sort by 'untranslated' but sometimes it is necessary to have the 'surrounding' strings in order to have the context. If you have a document with several pages it would be nice to have an indicator on which page the untranslated text is at least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Crowdin has been an indispensable tool for my translation and revision endeavors. It has significantly streamlined my workflow, allowing me to efficiently translate and review texts. Moreover, it has afforded me the opportunity to volunteer as a translator and reviewer for a major German Minecraft server known as GommeHD. In this role, I've been actively engaged in translating from German/English to Brazilian Portuguese. The collaborative nature of Crowdin, coupled with its intuitive interface, has made this translation journey for GommeHD exceptionally productive and rewarding. I am thrilled to contribute to enhancing the gaming experience for the Brazilian Portuguese-speaking community within the Minecraft realm on this renowned server.

The Crowdin presents a challenge when dealing with "dead" or inactive projects. Since it's a collaborative platform, inactive projects can lose momentum and participation over time. Without ongoing engagement and activity, maintaining momentum and ensuring completion can be difficult. Communication and efforts from all contributors are crucial to keep the project alive and progressing. It's essential to establish clear guidelines and maintain team engagement to overcome this particular challenge in using Crowdin effectively for projects that might face periods of inactivity.

I really like how Crowdin makes the whole translation process very seamless. I was able to just enter the URL of the website, and it efficiently imported all the text. It's impressive how quickly it can create machine translations, processing maybe 15,000 strings in about twenty minutes. Getting started with Crowdin was simple and allowed me to quickly make progress on translations. The initial setup was also very easy and straightforward, suitable even for nontechnical users.

It would be useful if you were warned beforehand about the free limit of the number of strings during the current user flow. You can sign up and use their recommended process, but you often find to your surprise that you've exceeded the free limit. This means you either need a paid plan for Crowdin or need to request an open-source license from them. It would be nice if you could be more clearly warned during the process about when you will need to move from a free to a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Crowdin for localization with my product teams to ensure our content can be scaled to all regions and locales we support. Crowdin solves the localization problem for us, and we've used it for years. The biggest benefit is the familiarity and that it's baked into our platform. We enjoy how Crowdin can help us properly localize into all of the world languages we support. I appreciate the AI translations which we are leveraging more and more. The app toolkit and the ability to add customizations like screenshots provide some flexibility, which is also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In general, Crowdin feels quite technical as a tool. The user interface and overall user experience could probably be simplified a bit. Sometimes I get sent a link from a translator, and I have to click many times in order just to view what they're trying to show me. So I have to say my role, my permissions, what language I wanna translate, and all of this is just for viewing privilege. This is quite irritating. I also think there are some strong limitations in terms of Figma integration and functionality. We really need Figma to play nicely with Crowdin for developers and translators to have the full context. Right now, that is missing. All strings are in complete isolation. Unless I manually upload a photo or screenshot of a flow, there's absolutely no context. This creates extra work for me when I need to manually upload these images or add explanations.

I love how Crowdin serves as an efficient translation and localization hub for our team. It effectively addresses the challenge of managing translations across 21 languages by centralizing everything in one place. The translation feature has been revolutionary, particularly because it allows translators to preview their translations in the actual interface, helping them manage content more effectively. The in-context tool is incredibly valuable as it removes the guesswork around text length variations and contextual meaning, which directly resolves one of our biggest challenges, that of UI layout breaks caused by varying text lengths across languages. This capability significantly enhances our workflow and ensures accuracy and efficiency in our localization process. Overall, these features have been critical in managing our platform's multilingual content, making Crowdin an indispensable tool for our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup for Crowdin was more complex than anticipated. Getting the JavaScript integration to work correctly with our Next.js application required careful coordination with our build process. Additionally, the documentation could be more specific about server-side rendering (SSR) considerations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdin is a powerful TMS system. It's easy to use. It has lots of integrations, and it's easy to setup the system for the first time. We found the integrations very straight forward and can be up and running super fast. I also like that Crowdin support is very responsive and customer focused. It's been a great experience being a Crowdin customer. I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything regarding Crowdin that is not positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since my last review, Crowdin has remained very stable and continues to fit smoothly into our daily workflow. We’ve started relying more on translation memory, glossaries, and integrations, which makes it much easier to keep product copy and marketing content in sync. The overall speed of the platform and the clarity of the translation editor help our translators work faster while keeping quality high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, our experience is still very positive, but there are a few areas that could be even better. Reporting and analytics could be more flexible, with easier ways to build custom dashboards and export insights for stakeholders. Some advanced settings are a bit hidden, so a slightly more streamlined admin interface and clearer onboarding tips for new users would help. Transparent pricing and controls around machine translation usage would also be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used it to scale website localization. Since multiple teams are involved in the process, it was helpful to have a single tool to facilitate everything. It enabled effective communication amongst everyone involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took us some time to integrate it with Storyblok. We had to involve a developer to assist with this task, and we had difficulties transferring the translation back into the CMS. However, once we set it up, it was quite easy-to-use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
