Crowdin Reviews & Product Details

Crowdin is a very useful platform for managing translations in a structured and collaborative way. It helps us keep all language strings organized and makes it easier for developers and reviewers to work on the same project. The versioning and workflow features are particularly helpful when working with multiple languages and external collaborators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main area for improvement is the user interface. While it works well for developers, it can feel less intuitive for non-technical users and external collaborators such as translators or proofreaders. A simpler and more user-friendly interface would make the platform easier to adopt across different teams and roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdin introduced several intuitive updates, but some of the features that fascinated me are its In-Context Editor and AI integration. With relevant contextual information of the In-context editor, I need not translated blind. Managers attach screenshots to their strings, and it gives me an excellent starting ground to translate, keeping in mind if it's a header, a button, or a hidden tag. New AI assistant and support for Gemini or OpenAI, I get the required boost to translate faster while maintaining high quality. Moreover, desktop-friendly integration or a web interface has also made it easier to handle large-scale projects with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be improved by providing a dedicated mobile app for translators for quick proofreading or responding on the go. The interface remains overwhelming for new users, which may be simplified a bit. Lastly, pricing has got to be competitive for individual freelancers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have noticed a new jigsaw-like button near the search bar that groups strings based on context. I believe this is a very useful feature since it can clear up potential semantic misunderstandings, huge props for that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have recently tried finding out when I joined the platform and particular projects. I couldn't find such information, and the oldest result I got for my contributions in the project didn't mention me explicitly joining at the time (which I believe should be visible in user activity). I think it would be useful if users could quickly see when they joined certain projects, perhaps it could be a little note located under the project name (and available only to the user and not anyone else) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CrowdIn's Support still great: fast, instructive and responsive; they always send videos. They're still the same consistent tool that I have using all these years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tech companies tweak and change their designs and interfaces often. Recently, CrowdIn changed the button 'Save' to the icon of a flop disk, and that was confusing to a translator that didn't save their translations at the end, so we needed to extend a deadline.

Crowdin is a fantastic platform for crowd-sourced software translation and localization. It lets us easily integrate our progects, upload new strings to translate and then use them in the next build. I love that Crowdin has built-in machine translation, which helps translators in localization. And the free pricing plan is quite generous. The recently refreshed user interface is very pleasant and easy to use. It now also allows for integration of AI-based tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's one thing I don't like about Crowdin, and it's pricing of private projects. If you need more than 1 private project, you have to upgrade to the Pro (2 projects) or Team (unlimited projects) plan ($50 and $150). I, for example, don't need more hosted words/or more integrations, so paying $150 per month seems not worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Onboarding process was simple and they helped us setup our instance. From that point everything went smooth. Whenever we had any issues, their support team resolved it quickly and pushed the fixes into production in days. Both manual and AI translations are easy to manage and overall consistency and quality of translations went up since we started using Crowdin as our TMS solution.

Pricing model could be simplified, but nothing crazy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple integrations, although not often used by project managers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that All, Untranslated First is still a default setting. I need to change it every time as it sorts the strings in a very awkward way. I don't like the change to the TB interface - I have to click through several options to add a term - a basic term addition should be as fast as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used Crowdin for years to manage our translation needs, but shifted to their Enterprise level program a few years ago to take advantage of increased organization/control over users, automated workflows, advanced AI translation tools/integrations, etc. Multiple teams across various departments are able to connect their systems into Crowdin with different methods depending on how their systems are set up, easily create/assign translation and proofreading tasks, and pull translated content back into their systems. This tool is invaluable for our worldwide translation and localization efforts. The Crowdin team is also very quick to answer any of our questions and assist with issues, having made multiple adjustments to their program based on our feedback.

I do wish the workflow automation allowed us to still choose which content we wanted to send through it, as in current state the workflow triggers on ANY content added into Crowdin. This creates situations where API connected systems are feeding in new content that doesn't actually need translation, and our translators are spending time translating something that doesn't actually need it. This isn't the biggest issue, but a refined process could certainly make all of our work easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Crowdin centralizes our translations in one place and allows us to use translation memory. Being able to put our own AI prompts for preparing translations and the good customization options are great. We can apply our style guide when doing translations with AI. The over-the-air delivery is really handy as it lets me make changes and launch them in the app instantly, making them available to users right away. Crowdin integrates nicely into our processes, and the simple task system is a big plus. The initial setup was pretty easy, and we could test something quickly. Using Crowdin has improved the quality of our translations and made our process more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe the UI could be improved, the interface feels a bit messy at times. And we've had a case of email notifications not going out as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Crowdin helps us keep all our translations up to date and on track while allowing different team members to assist in the translation process without messing up other systems. It streamlines the whole process for us. The setup was very easy, taking just a day or two, which is crucial for a small team like ours. The integration options with our development processes and GitHub made it an easy sell to our development team. Crowdin also makes translating accessible to all team members, simplifying the process with its user-friendly interface. The creators of Crowdin worked with us to find the best payment plan tailored to our stage, which I really appreciate. Overall, Crowdin takes the translation workload off the product team and distributes it efficiently without needing lengthy onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None currently come to mind, it works really well for our needs. I had worked with it previously in a different setting and also didn't run into any issues there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
