Crowdin

Eccellente strumento per la gestione delle traduzioni!

Aspetti positivi:

Ho apprezzato molto la facilità d'uso di Crowdin e la sua interfaccia intuitiva, che mi ha permesso di iniziare rapidamente con i progetti di traduzione. La collaborazione in tempo reale con altri membri del team è stata estremamente utile, rendendo la comunicazione e la revisione delle traduzioni molto più efficienti. La flessibilità di Crowdin nel supportare diversi formati di file semplifica e velocizza moltissimo il lavoro, come anche la gestione centralizzata dei progetti.

Aspetti negativi:

Il costo potrebbe essere un deterrente per chi volesse affacciarsi su questa piattaforma. Da miglioranre anche la sincronizzazione cloud che delle volte risult abbastanza lenta.

Highly Recommend Crowdin for Translation Work

Commenti: I highly recommend Crowdin for translation work. I have already recommended it to friends who are using it for their projects. Of all the translation tools I have used, it is my favorite.

Aspetti positivi:

Crowdin is a fantastic platform that has made the translation process incredibly smooth. It's super easy to use, even for beginners, with a user-friendly interface that anyone can navigate. The website loads quickly, which is a huge plus when managing large projects. The machine translation feature provides helpful context based on work you have already done. Plus, the glossary feature ensures consistency across all translations, maintaining our high-quality standards.

Aspetti negativi:

The overall project management on Crowdin could use some improvement. The dashboard process, in particular, needs refining. It would be great to have more intuitive and easy-to-understand dashboards that clearly show the amount of work completed over time. This enhancement would make tracking progress much more efficient and user-friendly.

Versatile tool that accommodates to your needs

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Alternative considerate: Transifex, Localazy e POEditor

Perché passare a Crowdin: It was the most versatile and it offered special accommodations for small open source projects on one side and huge closed source projects on the other side.

Lacking Crucial Features

Aspetti positivi:

The interface is well designed and the task feature is extremely time saving.

Aspetti negativi:

Why are TM matches vs string history vs MT suggestions in the same spot and not easily distinguished? It makes translation difficult for all parties. From an LSP partner perspective, it does not make sense to use CrowdIn. The security access controls are not present. So unless your organization is purely crowd-sourcing, the ability to comply with ISO and other standards is near impossible. But also the key concept of having multiple linguists work on a project at the same time without the ability to cross over into each other's content is missing.

Great localization product

Aspetti positivi:

Crowdin has been a huge help for our localization projects. Our Localization manager and all translaters are using this tool on daily basis with ease and without any complaints. The user experience is great as well as the customer experience . The implementation of the tool was a breeze and I can recommend this tool to everyone.

Aspetti negativi:

I am happy to note that nothing comes to mind at the moment to dislike about Crowdin.

Best in class for crowd translations!

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

A complete service for your app

Commenti: I really enjoy working with it so far and I have only a few complains

Aspetti positivi:

Crowdin was simple to setup, the UI is very simple and it has a lot of feature. 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

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Alternative considerate: Phrase Localization Platform

Perché scegliere Crowdin: pricing, UI and simplicity where better on crowdin

Perché passare a Crowdin: Missing feature on Phrase that were available on crowdin out of the box.

Crowdin review

Commenti: In general, I like it and planning to continue using it.

Aspetti positivi:

UI for managing projects and perform translations/proofreading is very good. Activity section is also very useful.

Aspetti negativi:

As of purchasing translation UI - it's not always intuitive and can be improved.

Cost efficient product

Commenti: The overall experience with Crowdin is good.

Aspetti positivi:

Crowdin provides the most capabilities on the market while being a very reasonably priced SaaS.

Aspetti negativi:

Many apps are of low quality and constantly have issues, customer support is helpful, however is not going over the board to solve the issue. Developer seats should not be priced as manager seats.

Alternative considerate: Phrase Localization Platform e Lokalise

Perché passare a Crowdin: The product fulfilled almost all requirements of RFC.

One of the best translation tools

Commenti: I'm translator of an open-source project and I also propose, implement and use this tool in multiple companies I work for.

Aspetti positivi:

All my translators can work with this tool without asking many questions. Support for many formats.

Aspetti negativi:

Sometimes slower UI for larger projects.

Localization God!

Aspetti positivi:

I love the ease of use, as well as the user interface.

Aspetti negativi:

There isn't much I dislike about crowdin.

Happy customer

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use. Can be "branded". API, upon release of the site we can just upload files to Crowdin, and fetch the latest translations.

Aspetti negativi:

The pricing is actually expensive for us. And yet we still have a plan that hasn't existed for years. We have community translators that translates for free. But it's not even a hundred strings per year. And for that, the price is quite expensive.

Crowdin is probably the best service for product localisation

Commenti: I have worked with Crowdin from several angles, both as a translator and as a project administrator.

Aspetti positivi:

For me, Crowdin is the most convenient service for product localization. I have never needed any more functionality, everything I needed for my work is already available in this service.

Aspetti negativi:

I like everything about this product. I don't have any comments.

Alternative considerate: Transifex

Perché passare a Crowdin: User-friendly interface and rich functionality.

Mobile Game LocPM Review

Aspetti positivi:

User friendly interface, easy to launch and start working on the project. Regular research and development in the field of AI and machine translation.

Aspetti negativi:

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)

Crowdin really helps internationalizing apps

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Translation with Crowdin

Aspetti positivi:

Crowdin provides enough instruments for translation such as searching/filtering, comparing different languages, machine translation, translation database, description section for concepts. Moreover, it is so easy to use these features. I was able to adapt myself even on first use.

Aspetti negativi:

As I emphasized previously, spell checking feature is not enough for translation activity. Developing of the spell checking for all languages -if it is possible- could be helpful for translators and editors.

Makes app localisation much easier

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

It is supported by a large community, it has a intuitive UI and tools to integrate the workflow with github.

Aspetti negativi:

The pricing for organizations is pretty high, it can be unreasonably expensive for small companies.

Perfect tool to work on multilingual contents

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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/

Experience working with Crowdin

Aspetti positivi:

A practical and useful tool for translation management

Aspetti negativi:

There is no particular problem except the relatively high price for free and small projects or non-governmental organizations

Alternative considerate: Transifex

One of the most efficient translation tool

Commenti: I'm pretty happy with Crowdin. Although the free plan is a bit limited, the platform is well-thought-out and works very well. It allows you to be efficient without too much configuration, whether you're an individual or a large company.

Aspetti positivi:

An efficient, community-friendly tool that allows any team to get helped to translate any projects. The UI is great and efficient !

Aspetti negativi:

The cost might be high, and the free plan is very limited. Some documentation is missing on some points, such as integrations

Crowdin is one of the best (if not the best) platforms for translating your projects

Commenti: 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).

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of use, the suggested translations, the integrated discussion per project, the easy navigation and most of all the lightweight web interface.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

One of the best platforms for translating or managing translations for your project.

Aspetti positivi:

The spell check feature is amazing. As a translator I sometimes get corrected in things I didn't even have a grammatical clue.

Aspetti negativi:

The interface is kind of overwhelming with all the available tools everywhere but it's a matter of time to get used to it.

Amazing Customer Support

Aspetti positivi:

The customer support is amazing and the product team always listens to the product improvement feedback. They already implemented some of our feature based suggestions.

Aspetti negativi:

Some limitations related to the task creations and glossary.

Incredibly versatile, always ready to go

Aspetti positivi:

Crowdin is, by far, my favorite CAT platform. It's fast, reliable and it still amazes me how well it adapts from a 27 inch screen PC with a wired Internet connection to a smartphone using a data plan when riding a train. It just works.

Aspetti negativi:

The one feature I would like to see is user-controlled auto propagation for repeated strings. I still have to do it manually, and it can take quite some time depending on the project.

I love Crowdin!

Aspetti positivi:

Been using it for years, this cloud-based tool is amazing!!

Aspetti negativi:

Don't have anything to add here, since Crowdin is perfect for me.
