Pros At Paligo, we work with Crowdin as a trusted partner, and our collaboration has been consistently positive. Crowdin offers a robust, user-friendly localization platform that makes managing multilingual content much easier for teams working across regions. Their focus on integration, automation, and developer-friendly tools aligns well with how we approach structured content and translation workflows at Paligo. The team at Crowdin is responsive, professional, and forward-thinking, and their platform is well-regarded by our shared customers for its scalability and ease of use. Cons Nothing significant to point out—our partnership experience has been very smooth. We appreciate working with the team at Crowdin. Review Source JB Joanne B. Director of Product Content Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A day in the life of Crowdin" April 20, 2026 4.0 For our organization's needs, Crowdin offers a relatively simple translation management software. As the manager The automation between Github ensures new source (in our case, English) text flows into Crowdin. I like being able to view Activity as a manager of the content team, and also to keep an eye on our external translators. The translation memory saves us a lot of time (and sometimes money). It's getting better and better, but I feel it needs some UI love Pros Great value for money. I like that there are lots of integrations. Fast customer service in terms of requesting help - support team are quick and provide articles and step by steps in rea time. Cons I don't find the user interface very intuitive. I often have to read an article or google something to find it. Lacking an overall visibility of activity (for example, new strings added) at a high level without going into each individual project. Loading time in larger project is very slow, particularly when viewing more than one language at a time. I find it disappointing that I cannot add a style guideline without increasing to the Enterprise account. I consider that this should be available on any plan, particularly when we are now using so many AI assisted translations, Alternatives considered [Lokalise](https://www.capterra.com/p/162858/Lokalise/) Reason for choosing Crowdin Crowdin offered a more competitive price and scaled to the small business needs (at that time we were a startup).

While I like to help to contribute to an open source chess site, all the other systems and functions of Crowdin like Tasks, TM,MT, Glossaries are a waste of time. Pros I like the most the automatic mail notifications when new translations are available. This way I never miss any new translations. Cons All the eco-system around the core product, like AI translations (that never work), Context pages, all unnecessary at least for my use case. Review Source AD Alfonso D.

Pros I like the fact that you can easily manage multiple people translating, and export bilinguals files. Cons One thing I do not like very much is the fact that there aren't very advanced filters to keep track of bigger projects.

Review Source JB José B. Software Engineer Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Crowdin, probably the best localisation platform" March 2, 2026 5.0 Very good. I even had the opportunity to speak to the support team sometimes, and they were very friendly and easy to talk to. Pros There are several things I love about Crowdin. For one, over the 8+ years I've been using the platform, I've always found it's amazing how easy it is to collaborate with other translators across multiple projects via the discussions tab on each string. Whenever there's something going on, I receive an e-mail about it, and I can focus on getting things resolved. Fast and easy. I come from a software developer's perspective, and I have used Crowdin to create and manage projects (thanks to Crowdin's amazing policy of free projects for open-source initiatives). In this position, you're often faced with the challenge of introducing your user base and collaborators to the platform where they will be handling translations, and I can assure you that Crowdin has been by far the easiest and most intuitive space for regular users, who may not have any background whatsoever in localisation, to contribute their grain of sand towards translating a project. Pretty much every language on earth is supported, and if the language you want isn't there, the Crowdin team can evaluate whether it'd be feasible to add it to the main platform. Also speaking from the perspective of a project owner rather than a translator, integrating Crowdin with my projects using their Git widgets functionality has been an absolute relief. All the effort we had to put into maintaining translations via static files and complicated systems is gone, and we can focus on building software whilst our user base translates it! One could write a small book or documentation page with a few sections with everything good about Crowdin, so I would simply advice anybody who hasn't tried it before to simply go ahead and sign up! If you feel like translating is something you're interested in, then go ahead and contribute to a project you find interesting. I for one started using Crowdin because of Minecraft and haven't stopped since! Overall I think Crowdin has made many good decisions in time, and they continue to strive as probably the #1 localisation platform. Cons There are two specific things I dislike about Crowdin: 1. The overall restyling of the platform that was implemented some years ago. Icons and text borders started to become roundish; things were de-centred for no apparent reason... just, why? You could have kept it perfect! 2. The removal of national flags. To me as a translator and proofreader, this change has made the experience of finding a language incredibly painful. Now imagine how it looks for new contributors who see the project page for the first time and see a bunch of grey flags with random letters all over them... this really discourages people who may have otherwise stayed, having clicked on their own country's flag to take a peek...

It is straightforward, OS and device agnostic, and super reliable. Pros Crowdin is a platform that has matured a lot over the last few years. Fast, reliable, and user-friendly, not to mention the fact that workflow and its interface are consistent regardless of what platform you are on (PC, Mac, or portable Android and Apple devices). Taking care of urgent requests on your mobile device while you are away from the office is just magic, and Crowdin is at the top of the game in this area. Cons The way to add or edit term base entries has become slower and more complicated than before. It used to be faster and more streamlined. Review Source CD Chiara D. Product Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use as a translator" March 2, 2026 4.0 Overall, I’ve had a good experience with Crowdin. It’s a solid tool with useful features, especially around AI translations and translation memory. It’s not perfect, but it works well for what we need. Pros I like that Crowdin lets you use different AI translation providers like DeepL and Google. Different tools work better for different languages, so having that flexibility is really helpful. It makes it easier to get strong first drafts. The translation memory is also a big plus. It saves time and keeps wording consistent across the product, especially for repeated terms. Cons The UI is okay, but it can feel a bit convoluted at times. It’s not always obvious where things sit or which setting you need. From what I’ve heard from developers, adding and managing keys can also feel quite clunky. It’s a bit frustrating that keys have to be merged into master before they’re available, instead of being live straight away. That can slow things down. Switched from [Locize](https://www.capterra.com/p/180753/Locize/) price but cant remember as some time ago Review Source SK Sami K. Nerd Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust and Efficient Localization Platform" February 26, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been highly productive. Crowdin effectively bridges the gap between developers and translators, transforming localization from a manual bottleneck into a streamlined, continuous process. It is a robust, scalable platform that saves time and improves translation quality. Pros Crowdin provides excellent collaboration tools and an intuitive interface for translation teams. The seamless integration with version control systems, such as GitHub and GitLab, significantly automates the localization workflow. Additionally, the Translation Memory and centralized glossary features are highly reliable and ensure consistency across large-scale projects. Cons Configuring complex workflows and mastering the more advanced automation features can present a steep learning curve for new administrators. Navigating very large project structures can also feel slightly cluttered at times. Review Source RV Radek V. Frontend developer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good community first system " March 11, 2026 4.0 Good community driven system to translate a service/software. You can pick desired languages and let volunteers from community to fill in missing translations. Pros Good user interface inside dictionary editor. You can also document each translation term with description and even image, so any translator that then do or review the translation have a good context. Cons If you want instant translation of you app - you can order it (even from different providers). The price of paid translations from professionals is quite steep. Review Source AA Al A. Specialist Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A platform with Clean dashboard" March 2, 2026 5.0 Overall, a smooth platform for localization. Clean dashboard. I'd recommend others to use this tool. Pros Crowdin is an easy-to-use localization platform with a simple interface and a gentle learning curve. It’s easy to move between segments. I used it for a South Asian language localization, and the suggested translations during the process were fairly accurate and helpful. Cons The platform has limits when handling Bengali punctuation. It does not recognize that the Bengali full stop (।) is different from the English period (.). Also, placing HTML tags within Bengali sentences is difficult because Bengali sentence structure is different from English. Review Source TL Taras L.

Pros UI for managing projects and perform translations/proofreading is very good. Activity section is also very useful. Cons As of purchasing translation UI - it's not always intuitive and can be improved. Switched from [OneSky](https://www.capterra.com/p/187251/OneSky/) Translations/proofreading UI is better, easier to manage invites for crowd translation projects. Setting up export format really nice. Review Source AS Adam S.

Pros Crowdin is a perfect service, offering developers cooperate with volunteers, that means developers can more focus on the development. Cons It takes much time to complete a translation of the whole app/website so the translation process can be sometimes delayed. Review Source VMR Vania Marisa R.

As a freelancer, it helps to get the terms and revision updated. Pros The easy way to work as a translator. The automatic suggestions and easy review of terms. The automatic update in translations for coherence. Cons There is nothing that goes wrong when I'm using it. The work flows. But in the translation case, it could be approved automatically by the software and not manually. Review Source PS Philip S.

It offers what I need most of the time, and very seldom do I feel that I need more features. The UI/UX is great, and project management is fantastic. Pros Crowdin is an incredibly smooth and user friendly tool that streamlines the translation process for freelance translators. Cons Due to its user friendly nature, it might lack some of the more advanced features that more advanced CAT tools have. Also, the report feature is lacking functionality, which means it becomes rather cumbersome to get statistics for invoice creation. Review Source VHL Victor Hugo L.

Front-end developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unlocking Global Communication: My Experience with Crowdin Translation Platform" May 22, 2024 4.0 Pros What I liked most about Crowdin was its user-friendly interface and intuitive project management tools. From uploading source files to coordinating with translators and reviewers, the platform made the entire localization process seamless and efficient. Additionally, the built-in translation memory and glossary features helped maintain consistency across projects and languages, saving both time and effort. Overall, Crowdin's robust features and ease of use significantly enhanced our translation workflow Cons As for drawbacks, one minor inconvenience with Crowdin that could be improved upon is the integration with certain version control systems. While Crowdin offers compatibility with popular platforms, enhancing integration with a wider range of systems could further streamline collaboration for diverse project teams.

Managing all those different file types (text, code, etc.) across various languages used to be a nightmare. Now, Crowdin keeps everything organized and simplifies the whole process. We love the flexibility it offers! Cons Multi-language translations. Managing all different file types Review Source OE Oliver E. Traducteur Entertainment Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Crowdin Review" August 12, 2024 4.0 Pros The way you can upload a file like a JSON and the UI makes it easy to translate each line.

Also, it allows us to delegate the translation of the content to other team. Cons You don't have environments for testing, so you have all the translations in the same account, therefor you have to be more careful when you change keys so they don't disappear from production Review Source AC Andrej C. Digital marketer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great localization platform for SaaS companies" September 1, 2022 5.0 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. Pros 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 Cons 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.

June 4, 2024 5.0 Pros Allowed us to tap into translators that we couldn't find translators for (Te Reo Maori) to help translate parts of the website. The system allowed us to easily upload and download yaml files. It allowed us to upload screenshots of the translations in use to help the translators. Another benefit is that we can open it up to our community to also help with the translations. Cons No cons from my end, we did enough benefit analysis beforehand to make sure that Crowdin did what we needed it to do. Review Source PT Panagiotis T. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best platforms for translating or managing translations for your project." August 3, 2023 5.0 Pros The spell check feature is amazing. As a translator I sometimes get corrected in things I didn't even have a grammatical clue. Cons The interface is kind of overwhelming with all the available tools everywhere but it's a matter of time to get used to it. Review Source
