### "Great tool for Managing translation tasks"

May 25, 2023

4.0

Pros

I like that is really great for using it for a team at the same time, it syncs, and also that keeps good track of status changes, plus the search is great either with tags or something specific. And is really great when you are working in different teams, you can compare with what other teams did.

Cons

sometimes I required to doble click the validation button because the status rolledback to previous status, it might be internet connection issue, but I think it wasn't that.

### "Tolgee was exactly what I was looking for!"

April 30, 2025

5.0

I very much enjoyed the platform. It is fairly priced, highly capable and very reliable. I would use it again.

Pros

Great design. Love the ability to train the AI by providing overall app context, and specific key context.

Cons

It had occasional issues with improperly escaping placeholders.

### "Frontend review"

Pros

Good idea that client can edit direct other than having go and back and missed time

Cons

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!

### "My favorite i18n tool!"

December 12, 2022

5.0

Overall I would give Tolgee a 8/10 I think. Personally I recommend it whenever someone needs a i18n tool. Even though Tolgee is lacking in extra features, it really makes up for it by getting the core functionality right, being easy to setup and use and having a great API/API clients. And I think with time Tolgee will get some of that extra functionality.

Pros

Tolgee is a really great tool for localization. It enabled high productivity and feels very intuitive to use. I love that you can self-host it, a must-have for some bigger projects.

Cons

Tolgee gets the core functionality 100% right in my opinion, but is really lacking in the "extra functionality" department. There's not really any 3rd party integration (like Jira/Zapier/S3/Gitlab/Slack). Also serious collaborative/workflow tools are missing.

### "Great product for translation"

March 8, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with Tolgee was exceptionally positive, standing out when compared to numerous other products in the market. Its quick response times, clarity in presentation, and the inclusion of automated translation features significantly saved time and streamlined the translation process. This combination of efficiency, user-friendliness, and time-saving automation made it a highly satisfactory tool to work with.

Pros

The aspects of Tolgee that stood out the most were its competitive pricing structure, user-friendly interface, and the extensive array of features it offers. This made it an appealing option, delivering excellent value and enhancing operational efficiency through its supportive functionalities and ease of navigation. These advantages made it highly favorable compared to other options.

Cons

One of the few drawbacks of Tolgee was the challenge in locating the most recently translated string, along with a navigation system within the translation fields that relies too heavily on mouse interaction. A keyboard-centric approach for navigation would be greatly preferred for enhancing efficiency and ease of use.

Switched from

[Transifex](https://www.capterra.com/p/224043/Transifex/)[Crowdin](https://www.capterra.com/p/163509/Crowdin/)

Pricing policy and ease of use with a lot of supporting features were the main reasons for making the switch. These factors provided a more cost-effective solution while ensuring a smooth user experience, complemented by a comprehensive suite of features that supported a wide range of needs. This combination offered better value and efficiency, making it a compelling choice for the transition.

### "A great low-cost alternative to big name platforms"

February 22, 2023

5.0

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...

Pros

Tolgee 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.

Cons

Tolgee is still young and undergoes major development and improvement. This may lead to some breaking changes if your apps rely on tolgee's API.

### "Best in class i18n tool"

December 12, 2022

5.0

We use tolgee in every project of us - if it is a client project or our own. It is so easy to implement and even easier to use that it became a no brainer for us to use this in our software projects.

Pros

I really like the in context editing feature of tolgee. This way our clients have an easy to use way to edit translations of the platforms we build. Tolgee supports all kind of i18n features like plural, etc.

Cons

It currently doesn’t have some kind of draft mode. That‘s the only thing I am missing

### "Morla Moves Tolgee Experience "

December 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

We really like text editing and in context translating, I think it's a great way to add non technical teams to localization processes. I did the implementation myself and it was really easy too, even though I'm mostly working with backend technologies I easily manage to do Toggle implementation. Also, documentation is really good too.

Cons

I don't really have any dislikes, maybe a little bit more examples could be good.

Pros

Live translate both in development and in production, ability to opt out of tolgee whenever I want

Dear Micah, thank you for your awesome review! We are glad that you find using Tolgee on your phone convenient. However, we recommend using Tolgee on your computer as it is designed for this use and is more user-friendly. Thank you for sharing the feedback about the entry page. We have been thinking about this approach earlier as well, but we decided to go with the current setup as we perceive it as more organized.

### "This app has solved all our translation problems"

December 12, 2022

4.0

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.

Pros

The best feature is translation tool in browser which allows us to translate text directly on page.

Cons

The 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.

### "Quick and organised translation"

October 23, 2023

5.0

Pros

I like the fact that Tolgee is free if you decide to self-host it and the guides to make it happen are very detailed. The user interface is intuitive and minimal and this makes it very efficient. The machine translation (configured with our API key) was gold for our translator as it reduced drastically the time spend on single translation.

Cons

We had a bug that sometimes crashed the connection between the app and the database and it was kind difficult to identify it. But once we understood the problem and talk with support, they released a new version that fixed the bug.

The tools to edit the translation from the browser are very useful for the clients to manage the translations.Easy to use and to integrate.
