Crowdin Reviews & Product Details

We use Crowdin mostly for Shopify localization projects as well as other integrations. They have a ton of integrations, the pricing is reasonable (especially compared to other translation management systems) and they have a phenomenal support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can be a bit complex if you are not used to it, so it requires a bit of a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crowdin has a pretty easy user interface that is intuitive. The way it is structured makes it easy to translate fast and efficient. The fact that you can make your own glossary and addspecific terminology to your prjoect is very helpfull as well. TMs work pretty fast, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Big chunks of text in one string seem to be a bit of a problem and have hard times loading. It also depends a bit on the browser you use. Firefox seems to be more stable than Chrome for example.

It would be great if there would be the option to find untranslated text strings while they stay in their respective location in a document. You can sort by 'untranslated' but sometimes it is necessary to have the 'surrounding' strings in order to have the context. If you have a document with several pages it would be nice to have an indicator on which page the untranslated text is at least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Crowdin has been an indispensable tool for my translation and revision endeavors. It has significantly streamlined my workflow, allowing me to efficiently translate and review texts. Moreover, it has afforded me the opportunity to volunteer as a translator and reviewer for a major German Minecraft server known as GommeHD. In this role, I've been actively engaged in translating from German/English to Brazilian Portuguese. The collaborative nature of Crowdin, coupled with its intuitive interface, has made this translation journey for GommeHD exceptionally productive and rewarding. I am thrilled to contribute to enhancing the gaming experience for the Brazilian Portuguese-speaking community within the Minecraft realm on this renowned server.

The Crowdin presents a challenge when dealing with "dead" or inactive projects. Since it's a collaborative platform, inactive projects can lose momentum and participation over time. Without ongoing engagement and activity, maintaining momentum and ensuring completion can be difficult. Communication and efforts from all contributors are crucial to keep the project alive and progressing. It's essential to establish clear guidelines and maintain team engagement to overcome this particular challenge in using Crowdin effectively for projects that might face periods of inactivity.

I am used to the way it organizes and displays information, so you can have everything you need at hand at any time. You can easily show/hide panels and really eliminate distractions if you want to focus on translating/proofreading or bring up reference material for research.

I also like how they are open and available for feedback and have implemented many of the changes I've suggested over the years, which has made my work much more practical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, changes are implemented in the web and, which can create confusion due to a lack of transparency or communication with users. A simple in-app notification would suffice to make these changes more transparent.

I'm also personally not a fan of the contextual menu (the light bulb when you double click a word in a string), but I understand there might have been pros and cons that led to this implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our development team seems to like it the best. I previously used Transifex and now we are on CrowdIn. These localization platforms are a dime a dozen and it's become a commodity at this point. CrownIn has a nice interface, appears to work well for our development team, and has more capabilities than we even need. Haven't used customer support yet. Implementation took several weeks to bring it into our CICD pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The communication between multiple translators when you have several different languages going through translation is a little clunkily. Sometimes, when I want to add contact to a string, I want that context to be available for all translators. There is no way to do this from the source strings itself and has to be added as comments and it's not configurable on what translations see this context. It doesn't feel native in the application and the comments feature feels more like a workaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1- It is user friendly.

2-As a translator, I really appreciate the built-in translation memory and suggestions. It speeds up the process and ensures consistency across projects.

3-Crowdin also supports collaboration really well; being able to leave comments and communicate directly with other translators within the platform is super helpful.

4-As someone who uses Crowdin on a daily basis, I can say it's a very reliable and efficient tool for translators. It helps me stay organized, work faster, and maintain consistency across projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1-Occasionally, larger projects can feel a bit slow to load or navigate, especially when dealing with hundreds of files.

2-Sometimes the UI can feel a bit cluttered, especially for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This platform provide simple to use feature with some elements that can make your jobs run smoothly. The best feature that really in handy is TM (Translation Memory) that can save our quality and help us to keep consistence with the terms we use. Every week I always check the terms discussion that will give us more insight about what we are working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This platform does not offer a feature that allows us to showcase our work as part of a portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fast loading website, tools for helping translate better available. Also I see the ease of use of the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't find downsides of the website despite it's the very first website of its kind I discovered. I'm not having issues with anything too, so little more to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of interaction with the product and the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no special comments yet, the main thing is to get to know the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It´s easy to see with string are pending to be translated, which ones were translated but pending to confirm, and which ones are translated and confirmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you have permission to both translate and confirm, you are unable to complete both actions in a single step. Instead, you must first translate and then return to confirm the translation separately. Additionally, I wish the process were more automated. For instance, it would be helpful to have the option to add translations to a dictionary, allowing the software to automatically translate repeated words. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
