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 AD Alfonso D. Translator Translation and Localization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for crowdsourcing, although not the best for advanced managing" February 26, 2026 4.0 I like Crowdin and I used it in the past to manage a multilanguage crowdsourcing projects, and also with some agencies, with good results. 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. Alternatives considered [memoQ TMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/162762/memoQ/)[XTM Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/157254/XTM-Cloud/)[Smartcat](https://www.capterra.com/p/155255/smartCAT/) Reason for choosing Crowdin I think Crowdin is most useful among those for crowdsourced translation efforts.

Head of Customer Experience Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid crowd-translation site " March 30, 2026 3.0 I'm a translator for Lichess and I'm using Crowdin since almost ten years or so. 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 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.

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 AG Ahiel G. BE engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Key to Simple Mass Translation" February 19, 2026 5.0 Pros The simplicity of massive translation.Crowdin provides an editor where translators can see the actual UI of the app or website as they work. Cons It takes time to find the location of the translations in the side menus, especially in the different languages. Sometimes switching between projects and files makes it difficult for the user, and even I, as an experienced user, sometimes get confused until I find what I'm looking for. I would be happy if there was an option for automatic translation and its approval by the user. Review Source AV Aarjav V. User Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Aarjav's Review" September 29, 2025 5.0 Oveerall, crowdin is great, there are no problems once you learn how to use the interface properly.. Pros I liked contributing to other people's projects, and it is very easy to do. I like that about crowdin. Cons I do not love crowdin's interface. It works, and you can learn it, but it has a steep learning curve. Review Source MR Markus R. Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best in class for crowd translations!" September 10, 2024 5.0 Crowdin is a high quality product with many good and helpful features. We used it in a former project as crowd translation tool for our app and it worked very well. At the moment our main project only has very basic requirements and we don't need many features anymore. Pros 1\. It's easy to invite colleagues, customers and professional translaters to translate content. 2. Using the crowdin cli tool to upload and update translations in our code base. 3. Create branches which reflect code branches. Cons Over the years and the additional features crowdin got more and more expensive although we have a very basic workflow: 1 private translator, just translation of every string in 1-2 languages, upload and download per cli tool. Currently we are thinking about not using Crowdin anymore - although we like Crowdin very much. Review Source CD Christian D.

Pros I like how it offers seamless integration with my website with its GitHub integration. Also, my team of translators are very happy to use it when proofreading and making changes. Cons I don't like how it adds too many commits which I have to manually squash otherwise it pollutes the commit history. Also, it could use better onboarding tutorials or guides. Review Source VC Vincenzo C. CEO Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes app localisation much easier" July 30, 2024 5.0 We update our translations a few times per years. Having to pay an expensive subscription just to keep our translations on the server is not very exciting. Except for this, is a great product. Pros It is supported by a large community, it has a intuitive UI and tools to integrate the workflow with github. Cons The pricing for organizations is pretty high, it can be unreasonably expensive for small companies. Review Source KP Kristiyan P. Head of Operations Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best CAT Tools there are" July 1, 2024 5.0 Pros My company and I very much like Crowdin due to its flexibility for our localization projects. Cons Crowdin's support is not aware of all features and it takes time to have something fixed or helped with. Review Source MS Merve S. UX Design E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good platform! " July 8, 2024 5.0 Overall, Crowdin has significantly improved the quality of our multilingual user experience. Pros As a UX designer, Crowdin has been a game-changer for our team. We use it to translate our software into multiple languages and fine-tune wordings. It makes it easy for us to manage translations and collaborate with our team and external translators. The integration with our workflow is seamless, saving us a lot of time. The support also has been wonderful. Cons Some parts of the interface could be more intuitive. But you get used to it quickly.

Lead Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Crowdin really helps internationalizing apps" June 6, 2024 5.0 Overall, I'm very satisfied. Not only am I using Crowdin on my personal projects, but also professionally with my main employer. I've been recommending it to everybody I know. Pros Before tools like Crowdin were on the market, our engineering team had to spend precious time and resources developing bespoke solutions in order to facilitate the process for our human translators. These are often not tech-savvy enough and thus we would require to abstract the implementation details ourselves. Now, we can setup the integration and leverage Crowdin to actually perform translations in a seamless way. Cons The setup process could probably be improved, but once it's done it's smooth sailing. Some concepts are not clear from the get-go and the documentation is not as useful. Review Source VK Vojt K. None Translation and Localization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good service" June 4, 2024 5.0 Pros The comprehensive translation database and their proprietary translator is pretty good. Cons Could be cheaper for small projects. It would be nice to able to use my own deepl free api when translating others' projects 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. Cons The limit of words available for free accounts. Review Source Patrice L. COO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great translation platform, legendary support" April 26, 2024 5.0 We have used Crowdin to manage translations of our software and our whitepaper. Now we're looking at translating our documentation too. We crowd sourced the translations to 30+ languages by nearly 100 translators so far. Thanks to the GitHub integration, our open-source software codebase is continuously synchronized with our Crowdin project across versions. Finally, we have leveraged the Webhok and Crowdin APIs to build a fine-grained integration with our product, which will allow us to further gamify and incentivize translations. Pros Good UX, excellent support, great integration capabilities, and supports all kinds of translation workflows. Cons Because it's so powerful, it has a lot of settings that can be intimidating to administrate. Review Source Ömer Faruk Y. Branch Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Crowdin is the greatest tool for translation in digital environments and documents" April 20, 2022 5.0 I met with this software several years ago by volunteering on a project on a classroom management software translation job. It was a pleasure to see that software automatically creates strings from the bulks of the code and in the eyes of a translator it is a privilege to have multiple translators on single project provided with the tools to translate in a common way. Through all years Crowdin keep its original forms adding more tools and integrations. Through my career I have worked with the software in 4 different institutions and every time I suggested this solution to my administrators, they liked the idea and the way the software uses. Nowadays apart from software I am exploring the capabilities of the software on document translation. For the last year our team has completed over 250.000 of words and every project cycle has been completed way before deadlines. Even with PDF files, system has its own way of transforming files to the strings which is way more comfortable than transforming them using the tools. Pros It is the most complete solution that can be found for translation purposes, Collaboration tools like Translation Memory, Machine translation, glossary and comments make it a complete solution for a single or infinite number of translators, and the size of the project does not matter. Also, there is a vast database of helpful translators for open source projects. And amazing response times of helpdesk is very crucial. Cons WordPress integration is one of the missing features that would be great to see in the near future. Review Source Arasakumar T. Head of Engineering, Plant Utilities Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect tool to work on multilingual contents" August 19, 2023 5.0 You can work concurrently. This is one of the most significant needs; undoubtedly, Crowdin is at its best. The software can be translated located at a time. It does gives the completion status and you don't need followups. Pros I can list many. The best part is Auto suggestions from the previous content or from other sources. You don't have to translate the repetitive words or sentences again. It will suggest the right words accordingly. And it checks grammatical mistakes even in secondary languages like Tamil from India. Cons Nothing big on the downside. The search function could have been better, and the web page is dull. Please include some interactive and vibrant colors. Navigating to a previous page could have been better/ Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Translator Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and Intuitive" August 9, 2023 5.0 My experience with Crowdin is extremely positive and I believe Crowdin is the best platform for localization of video games and websites. Pros Crowdin's interface is very user-friendly, it looks good and is easy to use. The tools provided are sufficient for a good quality translation and using them is very intuitive. Cons The spell checker could be improved to include a wider range of words. I feel like it would also be useful to integrate corpora of different languages into the website and allow users to search through them when they are in doubt of which words would work best for the translation.
