What Is Crowdin?

Crowdin manages software, website, documentation, and content localization through projects that synchronize source strings with translators and repositories. It includes translation memory, glossaries, in-context preview, quality assurance, workflow automation, AI translation, vendor management, screenshots, and integrations that connect localization to Git repositories, design tools, CMS platforms, and developer pipelines.

Best for: Product and localization teams that continuously translate software or content stored across development and content systems.

Crowdin is built around continuous localization projects where source files arrive from repositories, design tools, or APIs and move through translation and review before returning to the product. Integrations and automation make it suitable for release-driven software teams, while project permissions and workflows support internal linguists, vendors, and reviewers working on the same content.
