About Crowdin

Crowdin is a cloud localization management platform used to translate apps, websites, games, help centres and documentation. Source strings sync automatically from GitHub, GitLab, Figma, CMSs and many other tools, translators work in an online editor with translation memory, glossaries, screenshots and machine translation suggestions, and finished translations flow back as pull requests or over-the-air updates. It suits both professional teams with vendors and community projects that crowdsource translations from volunteers, and it is free for qualifying open-source and non-profit projects. Plans for individuals and small teams are billed monthly or annually, with a separate Crowdin Enterprise product for larger organisations with custom workflows. The integration marketplace is one of the largest in the category. Downsides are that pricing tiers are based on hosted words and seats, which can climb with large projects, and the interface packs in many options.

Best for: Software and game teams, including open-source projects crowdsourcing translations.
