### "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.

Thanks for your great review, Rolando. The issue with the double click should be resolved now, thanks for reporting it. In case it still persists, let us know please.

### "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"

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

### "Interesting"

October 26, 2023

4.0

The problem was to localize media contents.

Pros

Controlling translation DB was really good.

Cons

I 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.

Response from Tolgee

October 27, 2023

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"

June 30, 2023

4.0

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.

Pros

Their in browser integration makes it super easy to change texts and add translations. Period.

Cons

there 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.

December 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

It's a straightforward product that allows us to transfer more of the translation burden from developers to translators. I always wanted to build smth like myself!

Cons

It would be great if Tolgee would support other platforms, primarily React.Native. It'll allow us to use the same i18n platform for the whole stack.

Pros

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.
