Crowdin

Highly Recommend Crowdin for Translation Work

製品を使ってみた感想： 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.

良いポイント:

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.

改善してほしい点:

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

製品を使ってみた感想： 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.

良いポイント:

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.

改善してほしい点:

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.

Crowdinに切りかえた理由： 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

良いポイント:

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

改善してほしい点:

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.

Crowdin, the place for translators

製品を使ってみた感想： I use Crowdin to ask for translations for my Discord bot, I've been using Crowdin for more than two years and I've never experienced any issues, the system has always been up and running.

良いポイント:

The best feature of Crowdin is that it provides a community of translators, so anyone can provide translations for your strings, provides support for all languages.

改善してほしい点:

At the beginning the UI was confusing, but once you get to know how to use it, it's simple to use.

A complete service for your app

製品を使ってみた感想： I really enjoy working with it so far and I have only a few complains

良いポイント:

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

改善してほしい点:

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.
