### "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.

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"

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

### "Better translation experience with Tolgee"

January 26, 2024

5.0

Pros

Transitioning to Tolgee from the i18next library has been a game-changer for our project. Unlike i18next, which often required multiple packages and intricate setups for basic i18n integration, Tolgee simplifies the entire process with just a single package. Gone are the days of managing translation files and grappling with Git conflicts during branch merges. Tolgee's intuitive translation panel streamlines the translation workflow, making it effortless to localize our project. With Tolgee, everything simply works as it should, allowing us to focus more on development and less on the complexities of internationalization. It's been a breath of fresh air for our team, and we couldn't be happier with the switch

Cons

I would be happier if Tolgee offered advanced search functionality and more bulk actions. These features would further streamline our workflow, allowing for quicker navigation and management of translations.

### "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.

Thank you for your awesome review, Peter. We released the Batch operations feature not so long ago, which will help automatically translate all your strings. Hope it will make your localization workflow easier! 🌟

Pros

### "Localization using Tolgee"

June 27, 2023

4.0

Pros

What I like about Tolgee is filter option; The filter options in Tolgee saves a lot of time and energy since you can easily get what you want. Additionally the platform allows us to both import and export so that you can easily download an exported file and add it to your project; which magically saves time.

Cons

I think the platform should integrates automatic translation for a given languages. which I think could help the platform to go forward unimaginably!

June 29, 2023

Thank you for your lovely review, Abeniezer! We are currently working on the Batch operations feature, which will make it easier to work with automatic translation. Stay tuned! Thank you for being a part of Tolgee community!

### "Review from o2o developer"

July 25, 2024

4.0

As a developer I like working with it but it was a bit hard to integrate with our setup due to the compatibility build of vue

Pros

The product is ideal for working together with our copy and translation team and helps us to ge translations faster and more correct into production

Cons

It was our choice to implement it in an app which runs the vue compatibility build and that does not always align with minor software upgrades from tolgee. CDN has some downtime sometimes.

Response from Tolgee

August 2, 2024

Thank you for your review, Matthias! We're glad that Tolgee is helping your team with faster and more accurate translations. The outage was due to an issue with Microsoft Azure and unfortunately and was beyond our control. If you have any further suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

### "Tolgee makes translation management effortless"

April 18, 2024

5.0

Very positive, Tolgee has increased development efforts since developers can worry less and spend less time on translation management.

Pros

Mostly intuitive UI and well integrated with machine translation providers. Easily manage translation keys across many languages. Import/export. API and CLI tools readily available. Easily filter and mark translations. See overall stats and progress on translations per language. Tolgee team is consistency improving the product, i.e. new features, new batch APIs, etc.

Cons

Nothing overly negative to say about Tolgee. Only thing I wish was different is that "select all" is a batch API operation that can sometimes have issues, but I realize that it is that way since not all translations are loaded on the screen at once.
