Crowdin offers everything needed for managing software string translation and above all has the best cutomer service I have ever encountered anywhere. When our company started translating our apps, we were total newbies to the translation industry and we managed everything with Crowdin and their help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We encountered some problems with processing righ-to-left languages in strings with variables. The hybrid RTL/LTR text was distorted in the UI and impossible to edit. I also always lacked the option to filter strings with comments for a specific language, which is a small feature but would help a lot in managing the translations.

What I like best about Crowdin is its user-friendly interface coupled with robust features that streamline the localization process. The platform supports a wide range of file formats and integrates seamlessly with various development tools, making it incredibly efficient for managing multilingual content. Additionally, the real-time collaboration and strong community support enhance productivity and ensure high-quality translations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One aspect I dislike about Crowdin is that the pricing can be a bit steep for smaller businesses or projects with limited budgets. Additionally, the initial learning curve can be somewhat challenging for new users who are not familiar with localization platforms. While the interface is generally user-friendly, navigating through some advanced features can feel overwhelming without proper guidance or prior experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Crowdin provides a well-structured and intuitive UI that makes managing translations easy. The combination of automated translations and contributions from native speakers ensures high-quality results while speeding up the localization process. The workflow is seamless, allowing us to organize and review translations efficiently, making it a great tool for scaling our platform internationally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Occasionally, Crowdin mismanages translation keys, which can cause issues in the final implementation. While this doesn’t happen often, it requires manual intervention to fix, which can be time-consuming. Other than that, the platform generally works smoothly and reliably.

Crowdin is simple to use and reduces the barrier to entry for those who wish to help localize but do not have the technical knowledge. It offers a wide range of features, including AI-assisted suggestions, quality assurance tracking, an easy way to import and export translations, and a GitHub integration. Perhaps one of the best things about Crowdin so far is my experience with customer support. Their responses are really quick and have been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would appreciate if Crowdin had a built-in tool to see what people's suggested translations roughly translate to in the source language (e.g. Simplified Chinese -> English). Perhaps there is a way to do this already but I have not been able to find it in the UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the idea of a community translation site and the site is pretty easy to use, despite a lot of functionality that I am not yet familiar with. But what I like best was that the people from Crowdin were quick to give good help as soon as aI asked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think that if one makes the effort to set up a project, they also take the time to go through the various functionalities and how they work. Not so for people who want to translate, and they are sometimes confounded by the interface. Best single example: people see their translations persisted, so they assume the don't have to press the Save button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For me the free machine translation was the most liked by our team, compared to competitors it's easier to have something usable in lower time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like how the tab system work in the dashboard, it is counter intuitive how to create translations and the base file language should be clearly separated by the translations. Also, when downloading the translations it's hard to get the correct folder/file structure you want (eg: en.json, de.json, etc.). Also, approval and save of the translations has a poor UX you don't understand when something is saved and can be downloaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We had been using an outdated tool for some time, and last year, after a planned scaling, we realized our current tool was not going to suffice. After analyzing competitors, we determined that Crowdin best fit our needs.
We sought an easy-to-use UI, scalable pricing plans, OTA syncing, some specific iOS and Android integrations, and Crowdin delivered on all these aspects. Furthermore, even when we started small by testing the integration in small batches, the customer support and development teams were top-notch, always available to assist and guide us.
We are glad we made the switch and will continue using it for all our systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their AI translator could use some improvement on some languages. But they offer other AI integrations, so that is good.
It has a steep learning curve especially for non tech persons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Using crowdin means to feel like a super organized assistant with a tricky parts of translator content. So whether it's apps, websites or even games you need to make the content available in various languages. Though it connects with many tools like github, google play and figma, The whole process seems smooth and seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you are new to localization or not very tech savvy, it might take some time to figure out how everuthing works. also with so many integrations setting them up might require some intitial effort, especially if you're not familiar with tools like APIs or CLI.

The application is nice and looks good, with nice browsing for strings
the duplication of keys is a nice feature
working with JSON files is a bit tricky
I'm using it almost on a daily basis m when adding new projects or features, and finding bugs and issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Batch action for stuff like stop hiding strings
we are working with external tool for uploading json files in & out from crowdin
which makes the sync a bit harder
the duplication is also hiding some strings which we need in production and it's a pain to bring them back.
add more options for batch actions , for searches by date for example
to search what's new,
customer support is not easily used and found in the application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
CrowdIn really speeds up the localization process of our applications in ufirst. The dashboard provides an immediate way to track the progress of the translation for each language, and the integration is so simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are pretty sure CrowdIn fits our needs well, and we have no issues at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
