Freelance Translator Translation and Localization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast and social translation environment" July 23, 2026 5.0 Great place to discover projects needing help in my native language. It also gives ability to ask from fellow workers in other language pairs. Pros By clicking on the file needing translation on email, I am being redirected to the file in the Crowdin environment after being logged-in. This makes starting the translation faster than via software as all translation memories and termbases are preloaded instead needing to do it manually. Cons Log-in is cookie-based, not IP/router/device based. Using Incognito mode in browser for log-in always requires to insert a security code. 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.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Support Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use and Great for Team Collaboration" July 21, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with Crowdin has been positive. It is a reliable platform for managing translations and collaborating with team members. It has helped make localization projects more organized and efficient, although there is a small learning curve for some of the advanced features. Pros What I liked most about Crowdin was how easy it made the localization process. The interface is intuitive, collaboration between team members is smooth, and managing translations across multiple languages is straightforward. It helped save time and kept everything organized, making it much easier to work on multilingual projects. Cons What I liked least about Crowdin was that some advanced features took a while to learn. Also, the interface can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially for new users. Once you get used to it, though, it becomes much easier to navigate. Review Source TM Toni M. 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 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).

It makes collaboration straightforward and significantly simplifies managing large-scale projects. Pros Smooth team collaboration across international teams, an intuitive UI, and strong automation features like TM/Glossary integration. Cons Search and filtering within previous translations and TM assets can sometimes feel clunky or sluggish on larger projects. Review Source FF Francisco F. Proofreader and Translator Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Crowdin Appreciation Review" May 26, 2026 5.0 I've been using Crowdin since 2017 and with every year I feel the product gets more and more complete, in a sense that each new feature enhances my workflow with the translation process. Thank you for all the work your team so far :) Pros Overall the whole shortcuts experience and the way to easily move and translate a great batch of strings with just the keyboard. It's extremely fluid and got me to translate full projects in time just for the fact that I can fully use the keyboard alone. The less I use the mouse around to navigate, the better Cons Maybe just some UI changes that occasionally happened inside the translation editor without an explanation, but after a while they are easy to learn overtime.

I've started using it in 2020 and it has been a really great experience. The platform offers many options for volunteer translation and localization, which can be an interesting way to get into this market and acquire the know-how. Also, in the project I've been helping the most, I've found a very specialized team of translators that have helped me by teaching the nuances of Game Localization, an opportunity, I believe, very few people have. Overall, Crowdin's features make crowdsourcing feel rewarding. As such, I believe it is one of the best platforms for Game Localization Pros Crowdin is very intuitive. I had never used a CAT tool before, and I learned how to use it very fast; I liked Crowdin so much that I became a bit too attached to it. Those who want to translate can use it for free. For project managers, there are many paid options. I can't describe further, as I have never created or managed a project. The design is clear and simple, and the editor has 4 view options for different purposes. All the project's text is divided into strings, and in each string you can see all the translations suggested and approved so far (from the language you selected, from Translation Memory and Machine Translation, and also from other languages), and the comments made from other people from all the languages. Beyond that, you can always check the glossary (that you can also feed), and search for a specific term in the source language to see how it was translated into the target language. The editor has more features, such as integration with other softwares (e.g. CAT tools); however, I can't say much about them as I have not used them. The main features of the editor make it a reliable tool for any project; especially in the case of technical translations, there is little need to use an internet search engine, as you can feed the software with any information you like - such as pictures, very useful for clarifying context. Of course, searching for info from another source is important, however Crowdin has alternatives that accelerate that process. Another important feature is the approval system: managers can choose some members as proofreaders, and these members will be responsible for approving translations. Ideally, only approved translations - i.e., those judged the best by the proofreaders - will actually make part of the localized software. In the project I help the most, there is a team of paid proofreaders that also translate, and they go through all of the suggestions to choose the best one. This is crucial, as the project is public and many translators are volunteers with little to no experience in localization and/or fluency in the source language. In the project, you can also check for tasks from the managers; the statistics about contributions; a log of everything done by every member; and a public forum for discussions. The website is very safe, as I have not been hacked any time, nor any of the colleagues I know. No project I am a member of has been attacked somehow by hackers and/or griffers. Crowdin has an in-built system of attributing money to tasks (based on characters, words, strings etc. translated and approved). I can't describe it, as I have always worked as a volunteer translator. Cons There's very little stuff I dislike about Crowdin. The lack of a more accessible log of translations makes it hard to trace translations that have been deleted or lost for some reason. The current log also doesn't allow you to use words to search for translations. From what I've used, the in-build private messaging system is a bit buggy and laggy, and I prefer using other messenger softwares. It could be certainly improved. There could be features for avoiding flooding in the editor. Sometimes, (unexperienced) users will flood strings with very poor translations that visually pollute the editor, or send a series of useless comments as problems to be solved, and then the proofreaders will have to repeatedly solve the problems and delete the suggestions, or just have to ignore them.

It supports 2FA to make my account secure and the notifications work well to know when there are new strings to translate. Pros Its interface is user-friendly and easy to use, it offers several features to offer the best experience. It allows you to separate strings in different subprojects (folders). Cons Sometimes the automated suggestions from Crowdin or Google are not accurate enough and users still use those suggestions. Review Source GS Guillermo S. lead developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great user experience " July 30, 2026 5.0 My overall experience is great. Crowdin has allowed me to perform translation for big apps into my native language in a way that feels too easy. Pros The interface and its ease of use are a huge plus. It allows to jump right into translation and I've helped translate some big projects with thousands of strings that I honestly wouldn't have touched otherwise. Cons Not much to dislike about the platform, some suggested translations could be a little better but in all honesty, that may be some particular cases about the target language and not related to the translator.

Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Versatile tool that accommodates to your needs" April 28, 2024 5.0 Starting off as a translator, the Editor is very easy to use. Once I went about localising my own projects, I started using Crowdin without any doubts and this sped up the process significantly. The support team is amazing and the product is very versatile. Pros When starting off with localising my projects, the support team reached out to see if they could accommodate to my needs. Some of my projects are open sourced, and Crowdin has special resources for projects like this. Everything was disclosed and handled very clearly, and there were no (unpleasant) surprises. I even managed to move a project to Crowdin Enterprise relatively easily once the project became too large to manage on Crowdin.com. Cons It is sometimes a bit annoying that Crowdin Enterprise and Crowdin.com are each restricted and confusing to use in their own way. Crowdin Enterprise is not very friendly for translators. Crowdin.com doesn't offer all the management tools you'd like. It would be better if the two products fused together into one great product.

Support always been here via chat when I needed some help. There are a few issue sometimes but overall it's a very complete, robust and useful tool for i18n in our web app Cons It is a bit hard to understand some complex flow and correct implementation with Crowdin. Like it would be very helpful to have some better documentation and explanation of the flow suggested by crowdin.

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 PR Pablo R. Spanish Translator Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good addons and integration" October 2, 2025 4.0 I worked with crowdin for couple of years and I recommended for team ane indiviaul projects at office or online Pros The AI integration because you work with a tool that is always updating in the world of translation and others areas. Cons Its interfaces that are intuitively to work and the add-ons for working with others translation tools. Review Source MA Manisha A.

It is easy to understand and covers all translation aspects. It helped me a lot in translation memory. Pros User Interface:- It has very good User Interface. Very good working and easy understanding. It gives memory translation. Cons Learning Curve: I have not seen relearning curve in the system which has not available for future needs. Review Source LV Levani V. Lead Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use, easy to integrate." April 2, 2025 5.0 Easy to onboard translators and overall smooth experience. Pros Easy Integration with Github and easy interface for translators Cons I quite like it, but in georgian there are some issues with the first letter, saying that capitalization is wrong, while georgian doesnt have capitalized letters. 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 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 MP Marcos P.

Pros Its ease of use and how it focus on the task. There are no unnecessary information on the screen and you can just work. I like that you can see the translation from other languages, which help a lot. Cons The layout is locked. If it was modular and you could show or hide specific blocks and position them on different part of the screen, I think it would improve my workflow Review Source MR Maria R. Tamil Linguist Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feedback from Sundar " August 29, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with Crowdin is very good, as I have gained knowledge in Tamil Grammar, which Amazon, Bing and Google never teach. It is the only platform which teaches grammar in Tamil while translating (when there is a grammar mistake. It tells exactly just like Tamil Pandit. Pros I improved my translation becoz I have learned a lot fro Crowdin particularly in Grammar and Spell Check.Crowdin is a great platform for those who wants to keep the translation services as their career, that too free of cost. The more assignments you do the more refined your translation. Cons Once in a while, the translator who does the review free of cost, crowdin should send a note appreciating the time spent by them. I never have received any such mail, except this one. Review Source NK Nick K. Product Owner / Technical Coordinator Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Crowdin is one of the best (if not the best) platforms for translating your projects" September 15, 2023 5.0 The overall experience all these years as user and contributor to many different translation projects has been great. I haven't used the Crowdin platform professionally but I'm sure it will be great from what I've seen. I'm sure that if there is a need for translating a software project this will be my number one choice. All this coming from someone who isn't native English speaking (I'm Greek). Pros The ease of use, the suggested translations, the integrated discussion per project, the easy navigation and most of all the lightweight web interface. Cons That it doesn't yet support that many languages for the User Interface. It currently has 19 languages and I hope it supports more in the neat future.

Pros The UI is very responsive, with a good feature-set, easy to use and there are always enough translators around to help out. Cons No real downsides.

Pros Product is is to use and M/T support function is useful. Cons After importing the file which has been performed with other tool, there is no function to import it with confirmation.

Localization PM Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mobile Game LocPM Review" March 26, 2024 4.0 Pros User friendly interface, easy to launch and start working on the project. Regular research and development in the field of AI and machine translation. Cons Crowdin releases a lot of new features, but sometimes it feels like these functions are not fully ready. From time to time there are bugs and problems in the basic functionality (TM, glossaries, document import) Review Source AP Anthony P. Senior Translator Translation and Localization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Almost there" August 20, 2024 4.0 Overall the editor panel is smooth and without latency Pros The side-to-side panel and bulk approval button, they are helpful when you have over 100 pages of strings to review. Cons 1\. It needs you to remove the approved string before you can update it, otherwise the system will overwrite the updated string with the approved one, even when the updated ones are saved and double-approved. 2. The bulk change function should keep the modifications in a new filter/section instead of keeping them with those to be reviewed/approved, the reason is that bulk-changed strings should be assumed as "checked/examined", keeping those together will cause confusion if no comment is left by the reviewer to single out those changed strings, but to single out overly repetitive strings, one also must click and open that string in a new page, imagine there are over 10 strings to be bulk-changed, you get the idea.
