# Crowdin Apps

This month, Crowdin launches tools to make localization faster and more reliable: AI Pipeline, a next-gen AI workflow that self-corrects translations, ensures consistency, and follows glossaries and style guides more reliably; improved Global Search in Crowdin Enterprise; Website Context Viewer for better context when translating headless CMS; Volunteer Certificates to recognize contributions; and platform updates. Plus, new episodes of The Agile Localization Podcast feature Jan Amann (i18n expert, creator of next-intl) on how internationalization shapes product architecture, and Shashi Bhushan (Localization Workflow Strategist) on designing AI-enhanced localization workflows that remain human-centered.

This month, we are introducing three significant new features. All three are currently available by invitation only. - Crowdin Apps Vibe Coding: Build Crowdin apps simply by describing them to the AI. - Crowdin Automator: Like Zapier, right in Crowdin, AI-powered. - Video dubbing: a fully fledged AI dubbing tool. Each feature is a new piece of technology that we are actively refining. We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback to help us perfect them and ensure they are useful. We've also added a Website Context Extractor that uses AI to provide your headless CMS text segments with real context from your website, several Crowdin Store app updates, support for Figma Buzz, and more.

This September release is packed with updates that make Crowdin more powerful, secure, and adaptable to how teams work today. The highlight is Vector Cloud, a new app that takes AI translations to the next level by grounding them in your own data. We’re also shipping a major upgrade to the Crowdin Plugin for Figma, several security-focused improvements like session timeout settings and stricter API token management, and new ways to support hourly-based payments with time logging and reporting.

In August, we delivered 365 updates and completed 523 tasks. We've presented audio generation and localization with the Crowdin Dubbing Studio. We also continue to enhance our AI tools. Our Agentic AI is now smarter, with new capabilities for editing source texts, adding and managing comments, while the Context Harvester now gathers context with much more accuracy. This release features new integrations with leading AI models and editor updates, including a new UI for localizing non-text file formats (e.g., images and videos), a new way to switch between files, and more.

In July, we delivered 441 updates and completed 249 tasks. Agentic AI received custom modes, multi-tab support for handling multiple requests simultaneously, a Max Mode toggle for deeper information processing, and a fullscreen tools. Native AI configuration was simplified with clearer prompts and better shortcut management. Pre-translate now lets you choose any project language as the source, exceptionally useful when translating to multiple closely related languages and dialects via AI. A new QA check flags outdated translations where source text changed but translations didn’t. The editor now supports selecting multiple files for batch actions. We’ve now got over 700 apps in the Crowdin Store, and a few more updates to go with it.

In June, we closed 317 tasks and released 384 updates across Crowdin Enterprise and Crowdin.com. We added new AI models, improved prompts for Source Text Review, introduced Max Mode for Agentic AI, made the editor sidebar customizable, updated Crowdin Store apps, extended CLI functionality, and launched instant fallback in Website Translator using DeepL.

In May, we closed 192 tasks and released 430 updates across Crowdin Enterprise and Crowdin.com. The highlight of the month was Agentic AI – a new autonomous system for translation assistance, inspired by vibe coding. It plans, searches, and validates translations like a real team member. In the Crowdin Store, 7 apps were updated, including major improvements to Webflow, Shopify, DatoCMS, and Bilingual DOCX Export. Pre-translation just got faster, filters got more flexible, and AI got more context-aware than ever. Let’s take a closer look.

In April, we closed 209 tasks and shipped 381 updates across Crowdin Enterprise and Crowdin.com. We introduced a new layout for the multilingual grid view in the Editor and made AI pre-translation faster and more context-aware. Task creation now supports automatic cost estimate reports, and we’ve added filtering and ignore options for integrations, useful if you have lots of content in your CMS. The Crowdin Store also saw multiple improvements, including new export formats and enhancements to existing tools.

This month, we’ve successfully closed 283 tasks and deployed 375 updates. In this article, we’ll walk you through the latest features and enhancements, including the new AI-powered Context Evaluation Report, improved user management with group filters, and exciting updates to pre-translation and reporting. We’ve also added several new integrations, including ABBYY Vantage OCR, Prismic, Synthesia, Braze Campaigns & Canvas Translation, and updates to Webflow, Intercom, Slack, and Jira.

Localization is an ever-evolving field, and staying ahead requires innovation, adaptability, and an acute understanding of both technology and linguistics. In a recent episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, host Stefan Huyghe sat down with Felix Bartz and Olli Gurtschmann, Co-founders of Wordcrafts, to discuss how their company is redefining localization, particularly for the Apple ecosystem.

Localization is often an afterthought in product design, but it shouldn't be. When done right, it can transform a product from a simple translation of words to a fully immersive and culturally relevant experience for users across the globe. In a relevant episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, host Stefan Huyghe sat down with Willian Magalhães, a Senior Content Designer and UX Writer, to dive into the intersection of UX writing and localization. Willian reveals the biggest challenges in designing multilingual experiences, how localization impacts user engagement, retention, and business growth, and why breaking down silos between teams is crucial.

In February, we closed 238 tasks and completed 446 deployments and introduced AI-powered QA checks, added new AI provider integrations, and improved project management tools. Now, you can automate translation quality checks, use Grok, DeepSeek, and WatsonX as AI providers, and work with more flexible import/export options. We also released updates for integrations like Zendesk, Webflow, and Storyblok, along with improvements to project duplication and branch merging. Here’s a breakdown of everything new.

Localization has never been more essential or complex than it is today. Businesses aiming for global reach rely on seamless translations, localized interfaces, and culturally appropriate content to connect with diverse markets. However, despite all the advancements in localization tools, a critical gap remains: they often fail to meet the needs of buyers. Localization at scale isn't for the faint of heart. With 24 languages, 2.7 million words annually, and over 400 developers producing content daily, Pipedrive has mastered the art of agile localization. At the helm of this monumental task is David Edwards, Group Design Manager of Internationalisation. In a recent episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, David shared insights into how Pipedrive manages its vast and complex localization operations. From the importance of automation to working seamlessly with developers, here's a behind-the-scenes look at Pipedrive's localization machine.

In January 2025, we closed 262 tasks and completed 462 deployments. Among the key updates, we introduced Crowdin.ai in beta, offering AI-powered localization aimed at indie developers, focusing on faster turnarounds. Additionally, the new Vector Memory App helps improve translation accuracy by using non-bilingual, relevant, translated files as reference. We also enhanced our Translation Costs and Cost Estimate reports by adding weighted word counts and more.

How do you manage multilingual content across ten languages, process over 6 million words annually, and still keep stress levels low? That's a question Edwin Trebels of the Philadelphia Church of God seems to have mastered. In a recent episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, Edwin joined host Stefan Huyghe to share how his team leverages automation, collaboration, and cutting-edge tools like knowledge graphs to streamline workflows and maintain a culture of transparency.

Localization has never been more essential or complex than it is today. Businesses aiming for global reach rely on seamless translations, localized interfaces, and culturally appropriate content to connect with diverse markets. However, despite all the advancements in localization tools, a critical gap remains: they often fail to meet the needs of buyers. In this episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, host Stefan Huyghe is joined by Localization Consultant Boryana Nenova. They discuss the importance of shifting localization tools from translator-centric to buyer-centric, or at the very least, to be appropriate for both. Boryana dives into top features buyers demand in localization tools, why developers and linguists are clashing over localization tools, AI’s localization impact, and what localization tools are missing.

In the last release notes of the year, we're going to share exciting updates we did this month. In December 2024, our team closed 214 tasks from the task manager and completed 383 deployments. It includes the ability to add AI proofreading as a workflow step in Crowdin Enterprise, reusable custom properties fields for AI prompts, and the ability to share limited access to integrations with ZenMode. We’ve also enhanced screenshot auto-tagging, brought pre-translation progress tracking on the project page, and introduced a free course to help linguists get started with Crowdin. Dive in to explore all the updates. <YouTubeEmbed id="xY3g37JKHJo" />

In November 2024 our team closed 246 tasks from the task manager and completed 398 deployments. This month, we’ve rolled out several new features and improvements aimed at making your work at Crowdin better. You can now tag and manage strings meta information directly from the Screenshots tab, get AI-suggested metadata in the Simple Term Extractor app, and use Backtranslation app to check translation accuracy even when you don't speak the target language. We’ve also introduced an automated screenshot capturing for Web and Mobile, better AI proofreading, enhanced LQA annotations in the LQA app, and more. Let’s explore these updates in detail. <YouTubeEmbed id="5Lw85urmQKc" />

As we've already discussed in our previous post, localizing at the design stage is crucial for companies working for a global audience. In many industries like SaaS, e-commerce, and mobile app development, products frequently need updates. Design-stage localization helps prevent design issues caused by varying text lengths and different language structures. With Crowdin for Figma, automated synchronization between the designers, developers and translators means faster time to market, as well as fewer bugs. Teams can ensure that translations are accurate and fit within the localized design. Want to try it out for yourself? Let's take a look at how everything works. We're not yet diving into the technical details -- you'll find them here. For now, let's give you a high-level overview.

This month, we’re rolling out some powerful updates. From a revamped Context Harvester CLI with a context quality check to new Crowdin Store apps like Language Fallback Configurator and an AI debugging tool. For complex projects, we’ve introduced cross-review approval for tasks and improved savings visualization. Plus, discover multilingual terminology extraction with AI that continuously refines your glossary across languages as your project is translated. One AI model builds a multilingual glossary, while another uses this glossary to pre-translate. In October alone, our customers used over 10 billion AI tokens (11.6 billion, to be exact) when our team closed 517 tasks from the task manager and deployed 475 times. Enjoy checking out the latest features. <YouTubeEmbed id="53Suiz9y5ok" />

Design and development teams working on global products face the challenge of localizing content for different markets while keeping the workflow smooth and efficient. Here's where a design translation plugin come into play. They empowers designers to work hand-in-hand with translators, smoothly integrating localization into the design and development process – no need to wait until a translator gets back to you. With the ability to send texts for translation directly from a design tool and review translations in context, Crowdin makes localized design faster, more accurate, and less prone to errors thanks to the ability to review translations directly in context.

Lightning fast, continuous localization. Decent quality. Super affordable. All automated with no humans in the loop. This guide shows you how to build a multilingual product on autopilot using Crowdin. The workflow is tech stack agnostic and suitable for web, mobile and desktop applications, as well as their documentation and marketing materials. Best of all, AI translations would be contextual. The AI will have all the information it needs to produce the best possible translations. And in the future, you would still be able to bring in a human linguists to improve translations, if you needed to. Prerequisites: You have an internationalized web or mobile application. This means that all translatable texts from the UI have been extracted into the resource files. The implementation time of this guide is 30 minutes. <BlogCTA title="Looking for a Complete General Guide?" buttonUrl="https://site_716bef0d-317d-46ca-91d1-8d4447eda4b4/blog/ai-localization" buttonText="Read More About AI Localization" buttonId="read-more" />

In September 2024, we deployed 360 times and closed 265 tickets from our task manager, including bug fixes and improvements. Below is the selection of the new things we’re most excited about, like fine-tuning results visualization, the ability to fine-tune models based on TM data, the AI Automator app, updated Crowdin Docs website and developers portal, and more. <YouTubeEmbed id="130WW2nYFI" />

Welcome to the July 2024 Crowdin update. This month, we've added the Pre-Translation Efficiency Report, improved Amazon and DeepL MT integrations, and introduced the AI Token Usage Report. You'll also find support for new AI models, new QA checks for subtitles, and the ability to set default TM and glossaries for projects. Plus, explore new apps in the Crowdin Store. Read on for the details.

Crowdin's April 2024 upgrades focus on enhancing localization processes with revamped glossary management, refined AI integration, and improved reporting features. Developers benefit from the newly introduced Crowdin API Client for Go, which simplifies API interaction, and more.

From enhanced pre-translation options and AI content checks to updated plugins and API enhancements, this update is packed with features to improve your localization workflow. Let's dive into what's new at Crowdin.

In September, we launched the GraphQL API for site_716bef0d-317d-46ca-91d1-8d4447eda4b4 (previously only available for Enterprise), added a fine-tuning feature for the AI Assistant, made rate management in Report Management much easier, improved MT performance for non-key-value file formats, and much more. Read the full article for all the details.

It's fascinating to watch how LLMs are taking over the translation industry. In the last few months, we've seen many great applications of how machines can assist and perform translation tasks. The reason LLM's seem to be taking over is because of the context they can accept and leverage when translating. Today, we're very excited to announce immediate access to the latest version of Crowdin AI with the fine-tuning feature! A way to feed TM's and glossaries of any size before asking the LLM to translate your content. Our complete solution for AI localization.

This month, much like in the recent past, our focus has been dedicated to implementing AI into localization workflows. As we continue to explore the potential and possibilities that artificial intelligence brings, it's worth mentioning other exciting updates as well.

Machine translation (MT) is the process by which machine translation engines (such as Microsoft Translator, Google Translate, or DeepL Translator) automatically translate content from one language to another without human intervention. At Crowdin, translators can use most of the popular machine and AI translation providers for content localization. In this article, you will learn: - The technology behind machine translation. - Machine Translation vs. Human vs. CAT Tools. - How accurate is MT, and which engine is best? - When to use MT (and when to avoid it). - How AI and LLMs are replacing traditional MT engines.

The first experiments with machine translation began in the 1950s. At that time, the technology was more like an automated dictionary. Machine translation became more useful in the 90s when statistical machine translation was introduced. However, the translation quality was still far from human translation. In 2010, when Google introduced Neural Machine Translation, things changed. Machine translation became a useful tool, which in many cases, influenced both the work of professional translators and clients' budgets. Now, AI is actively searching for its place within all industries, and localization is no exception. Let's see how you can run AI pre-translation and the potential of AI in localization.

If you already localized your website or some landing pages, it’s a good idea to consider Google Ads localization as well. Copy-pasting texts and sending files to translators can be time-consuming, that’s why we created an app to automate Google Ads translation. In this article, we will explore the advantages of running multilingual campaigns, and explain how Crowdin’s apps for Google Ads and Facebook Ads can help you translate your ads faster.

Crowdin has announced some exciting updates in April 2023. Here's a quick rundown of the new hotkeys, AI Assistant, Facebook Ads, Google Ads apps, and other improvements that have been added to the platform.

Today we are happy to announce the invitation to the beta version of our new app – an AI chatbot built on OpenAI's ChatGPT API. Large language models are the hottest topic around our newsfeeds these days. While companies are still figuring out how to use them most efficiently, it is clear that this technology will change the way people and companies work in the near future. Crowdin has been experimenting with AI and ML for years to offer the most advanced technologies and make sure we enable our users to be most productive while doing global business. AI chatbot built on OpenAI's ChatGPT API we're showing today is just one of the first successful experiments we're excited to share. This is an private beta, and you're welcome to join.

It's a new year, and Crowdin has started off strong with several apps and platform updates. It includes 4 apps to help you generate resource files of needed type, and 5 apps to improve managers' productivity and project quality control. And of course, perhaps the most anticipated new role – Language Coordinator. In this article, we'll take a look at what else new in January 2023.

In December, Crowdin released several updates that offer you a range of new tools and features, including new apps (OpenAI, XL8, Systran, Tencent Cloud's Machine Translation, and Alibaba Translate MT Connectors, Wistia, and SproutVideo). Other new features include a custom file format, improvements to user management and permissions, and new versions of the GitHub Action and iOS SDK. Let’s learn more about the updates that can help you improve your translation processes and work more efficiently.

This month, we’re delivering new apps (Dyspatch, Mailjet, Beamer, Google Shared Drives, Braille Translator) and features to make your localization process easier, including real-time spell check available on multilingual view and more granular permissions for API tokens. We’ve also introduced new notifications about updated source strings and new bundle functionality for DVCS integrations (which allows you to synchronize ready files in the file format you need to your repo).

The increasing number of eCommerce stores encourages merchants to scale up their businesses to outrun the competition and stay on the market. Magento localization requires you to go through a lot of steps, among which translation stands out the most. It is a time-consuming and daunting task. But Magento translation pays off in the long run if you use the right tools to optimize the process.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud app, Contentstack connector, ICU Message Format Helper app, and the ability to change the default translation memory (TM) and glossary are just a little part of what happened at Crowdin in October. Here’s our monthly recap.

The main aim of multilingual surveys is to reach more people for more feedback and information. To run a multilingual survey, you'll first need to create a base survey in one language. Then, you can translate your survey using Crowdin + Typeform integration. Once your survey, form, or quizz is translated, you'll have a separate one in each language, so you can reach people all over the world. We'll discuss why and how to create multilingual surveys in this article.

When you’re planning to launch global digital marketing campaigns with Adobe Marketo Engage, you need your content toengage with the local audiences. But this process can be a rocky road when building your Marketo localization process from scratch on your own. With a Crowdin app for Marketo localization (Adobe Marketo Engage), you’ll be able to translate your emails, landing pages, forms, and more to launch multilingual marketing campaigns in new regions. In this article, you’ll learn how to send content from your Marketo account to Crowdin in a few clicks, manage translations, and instantly sync completed translations back to Marketo.

It has been an exciting month for Crowdin. We finally released the dark theme for our users, and are happy to see everyone's reaction on social media. In addition to the new dark theme, we have had a number of product updates, including a major upgrade to the glossaries and adding even more customization to our translation cost and cost estimation reports, that now support templates.

As always, in this article, we’ll look back on the last released apps, guides, and features. Let’s find out more about how you can automate more developers' tasks, create a Crowdin app, move projects between groups on Crowdin Enterprise, and more.

More apps and connectors for your localization team, a new GraphQL API, and a fresh editor grid view to display more information for translators and proofreaders. In July, we released a lot of updates for you to get your hands on, from new apps like Miro, Appsmith, and Hygraph to features like bundles that allow you to export translations for multiple platforms by generating different files formats. Let’s dive into the July edition of Crowdin product updates.

This June was full of updates. Starting from now, you can configure more than 20 webhooks for different types of events related to file and project changes, source strings and translation strings modification, task management, and more. Do more with your translation strings by using the new advanced filter option and the feature that allows you to delete all translations into one or a few languages. Plus, we’ve got some new apps like HubSpot CMS, Magento and Crowdin Translation Companion plugin for multilingual support. The plugin will help you translate messages from customers and your responses to provide better customer support. We also introduced a Developer Portal, so you can learn about CLI, API, and most importantly – how you can develop and publish apps for Crowdin.

More than 20 new apps. Refreshed UI and feature to help you manage strings on a multilingual view in the Editor. One more machine translation engine on the list. All of that and more. Read on to learn about Crowdin’s latest integration with Miro, Airtable, Notion, Typedream, Ditto.

Keep reading to find out more about big and small things that will improve your localization experience.

The beginning of a new year is an excellent time for fresh new ideas (is there a better time?). As the new year begins, everyone feels that we need to make changes in our life, start on new plans, do new things, and this is also true for Crowdin. In January, we introduced new apps, improved API, and rolled out two new offerings to extend your localization experience. These new offers include Crowdin Language Services, so you can order translations right from your project instantly, and a Virtual Localization Manager, so you can hire a remote professional, who will ensure that all processes at your localization projects are under control. Read on to discover more details.

Hope your 2022 started off well. Due to the holiday hustle and bustle, you may have missed some updates, but don't worry, we've got you covered. In December, we introduced a new multilingual editor mode that simplifies translating and proofreading to multiple languages at once. We also released 20 new apps, 9 of which are connectors with top email marketing tools and make translation for Unreal Engine developers even more efficient.

At Crowdin, we have recently celebrated reaching 2 million users, but it is not the only exciting announcement. November is full of updates and new apps. The latest changes in the marketplace – include 7 new apps (Shopify, Help Scout, MailUp, and more) and 2 Crowdin apps. We updated DVCS integrations so that you can instantly sync selected branches. Also, you can add more meta information to TM records, add the same string to several files simultaneously, and more.

As your product grows, your localization projects typically follow. But figuring out which tools you should use to format your files, check sources, create TM – let alone understanding what each tool even does – can be a confusing task. This is especially true when you consider a long list of tools to choose from. That’s why we prepared this post about some Crowdin apps that can ease your localization process. Read about how to create a translation memory by uploading your previous sources and translations to Crowdin and ensuring the source texts’ quality, so translators don’t carry errors into translations.

Translation memory allows you to use existing translations from previously translated content, rather than retranslating the same segments. This technology allows the human translator to focus on non-localized strings. Save time and allocate your budget to translate unique and important content. Keep reading to learn how you can manage your TMs and get even more benefits from them.

Help centers are a significant way to educate people about your product and communicate with them. Localizing your articles to clients’ native language is essential for this, as this way you can reach more people and build stronger relationships. Read on to find out how and what kind of content from your help center you can localize with our new Intercom app.

Each month, we’re introducing a range of new features we’re adding to Crowdin. In July, we released an app that helps you integrate Crowdin with the WPML (WordPress Multilingual) plugin, added exact search in TM, a new API Console app, and a possibility to change the source language of your project right from the project page. And the list goes on, so keep reading to find out more.

Website localization is a great way to grow your audience, launch your product in more locales, and boost adoption in the existing locales. To make your WordPress website multilingual, you need a plugin that helps you add translations to your website. That is why we’re introducing an app that helps you integrate Crowdin with the WPML (WordPress Multilingual) plugin. In this article, you’ll learn how to send content from WPML to Crowdin, download completed translation jobs, choose target languages and translation strategies.

Each month we prepare a list of new features and updates to help you stay on top of things that can be useful and save lots of time during localization. June was a month when we released the IP allowlist feature for Crowdin Enterprise, TM Cleaner app, added exact search and additional filters in the translation editor, updated design plugins for Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, and more.

Plus, a story with Camila Pedraza on how they approach localization at AssessFirst. Let’s take a look at what’s new with Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise in April.

At Crowdin, we launch new features and improve our products with every new month. Our monthly updates recap is a perfect way to keep up with major happenings in Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise. Read on to learn more about the new integration with Bitbucket Server and Bitbucket Data Center, updates for API 2.0, Amazon S3 app, and plugins for Figma and Sketch. We’ve added the ability to add labels to screenshots easily, assign proofreading tasks to a vendor, and launched the Chinese version of Crowdin. Let’s take a close look at these and some other important updates.

If there was a single word that describes what engineers look for in the localization process, what would it be? We found the answer long ago as we only started as a company. AUTOMATION is the solution to almost every challenge development teams face nowadays when building multilingual products. Our collection of tools for development teams is one of the most extensive and ensures the level of automation developers seek. There are also apps to provide translators with context, better manage community translation, customize QA checks and placeholders, and more!

Every new month brings us a new portion of product updates. Developers can now connect multiple repositories to their localization project, and this is a cherry on the cake of this monthly release collection. Apart from this, we've enhanced Crowdin API and released a new CLI version. Our Android SDK has moved to JitPack and, with the latest version of the Sketch plugin, designers can now select mockups they want to preview translated. Updated Contentful and JS Proxy for Crowdin apps and added native support for the MDX format. The list goes on and on. Let's look closer at all February-2021 improvements, new features, and most important releases for everyone localizing products in Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise.

Crowdin Editor is designed to bring together all the information translations teams might need while working on the content. There are AI tools, MT and TM engine suggestions, comments, search, filters, context, file preview, and terminology. All in one place. Apps in this collection will extend the Editor even more. They will allow translators to watch videos when translating subtitles, run mobile applications, preview XML files in the XSL styling, modify glossary terms, and even play a game during a break — everything not leaving the Editor. Because less time juggling tabs means more time to move the translation work forward.

Here’s our traditional roundup of all the new features and improvements released in the last month. They include newly launched integration with Marketo, a new app for seamless glossary translation, new features for UI localization with Crowdin plugin for Figma, improved navigation for the Resources in Crowdin, exclusive Crowdin Enterprise updates, and more. Read on to learn details and check out all the new features the first month of 2021 brought us.

Until recently, UI localization and design were two independent processes. Moreover, usually, localization was initiated after the product succeeded and was about to scale. The growing customer demand to use products in their native languages, though, makes teams release multilingual products right from the start. Localization becomes an ongoing process for most companies. To empower design teams to participate in the company's localization initiatives more actively, we've launched plugins for Adobe XD, Figma, and Sketch. This post will embrace user interface localization best practices and showcase how you can use the plugins to adapt them to your localization workflows.

At the end of the year, when achievements are evaluated, and the big goals ahead are all set, we start to look for ways to optimize the usual processes. It's a great time to rethink how we are doing things daily, and localization processes are not an exception. There's always a place for improvement. In localization, we believe productivity depends on how many routine tasks you can automate and the technology you use to do the rest of them. We've assembled a collection of Crowdin Apps to help you with the full-scale management of your localization workflow. All of them are free to use and can be installed for your Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise projects.

Localizing websites is a great way to appeal to millions of potential customers around the world. What if we say that website translation does not require busy engineers’ involvement and a tedious preparation process? And no, we won’t tell you how to enable the Google Translate add-on in your browser and translate a webpage with it as a user. Why? Simply because it is leading to a bad user experience, and what's more, such “localization” can often hinder and confuse your potential customers. Don’t risk losing a potential client, especially since the website translation is simple with Crowdin. This guide will walk you through the steps to automate your website localization using Crowdin's powerful Website Translator integration. This new tool works by crawling your live website for translatable content and syncing it with your project, eliminating the need for manual work.

They say you can't improve what you can't measure. A pretty obvious statement that gets trickier if applied to the translation quality control.

Crowdin releases new features every month. Here’s a new portion of handy updates launched this November: we announced Crowdin Store, released new apps, new versions of Crowdin CLI, Android SDK, our plugin for Sketch, added new file formats, and the whole bunch of new features for Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise that will simplify localization workflows for your company. Let’s go through the key November 2020 updates so that you can take most of our both products.

Let's review the last month of the previous year for the updates and new features that will help you automate localization, provide context, leverage AI translation and launch multilingual products in 2021 faster. The key updates released in December include: updates to Source files, Strings, and Tasks API, new versions of CLI, Android Studio plugin, plugins for Adobe XD and Sketch, new and updated Crowdin Apps, improvements to task and user management in both Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise, and more.

Marketing teams use combinations of different tools – from marketing automation platforms to content management systems that help them produce relevant content, launch campaigns, and achieve business goals. When it comes to marketing localization, new steps are added to the whole process with every new localization initiative. Not only should now the tools work together, but everyone involved needs access to the latest content, both source and translated. To avoid the drudgery with files sending back and forth, marketing teams can now use Crowdin integrations with HubSpot, Google Drive, Mailchimp, Dropbox, and other systems. This post will give you a closer look at the app collection for marketing localization on Crowdin Store. These apps will help you manage the localized versions of your blogs, email campaigns, and other content more effectively and stay focused on the marketing localization strategy you pursue.

October was a fun month and brought us some exciting new updates we’re ready to share with you. A bunch of new and empowered Crowdin apps, the ability to install them for your site_716bef0d-317d-46ca-91d1-8d4447eda4b4 accounts, and new modules for those who create custom apps on their own. Updates for Crowdin Enterprise, our new API 2.0, and more. Read on to stay on top of everything that is new.

Document360 is a Knowledge Base software that helps tech companies worldwide manage and publish helpful content for their products. A few months ago, the team approached us with an idea to build an integration between our systems to simplify the localization workflows for the Document360 customers. Read on to find out how Document360 became among the first Crowdin Apps creators and now allow customers to translate the helpful content with much less effort.

From the initial step of copy creation to the final tests of the translated mockups before release. We understand how important it is for design teams to be involved in the localization cycle on each step. We’re excited to launch Crowdin plugin for Adobe XD that connects the two systems and will help designers play an active part throughout the localization process. With the new Crowdin plugin for Adobe XD, designers can upload production-ready texts from Crowdin and use them in their XD designs. Designers add new source strings when working in Adobe XD and send them to Crowdin for translation, along with the context for translators. The plugin also helps to create multilingual marketing visuals like brochures and banners faster.

Crowdin releases a powerful RESTful API 2.0 that allows you to do almost everything that you’d otherwise do through the interface. With the new API, you can build a continuous localization cycle and integrate it into the development process. We’ve expanded the functionality covered, improved overall API structure and performance, and made it easier for engineering teams to connect with both Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise. You can communicate with the Crowdin API through standard HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.

GitHub Actions give you the flexibility to set up automated software development workflows. Instead of writing lots of scripts, you can create customizable workflows and connect a series of tasks. Like building, testing, releasing, and more. Because localization is an integral part of the development lifecycle, we’ve included Crowdin Action to GitHub Marketplace. You can now add localization to the automated workflow and build multilingual products with the power of automation (read – faster and with less effort).

Crowdin integrates with Azure Repos to help you release multilingual versions of your product faster. Sync content between Crowdin and your source code to integrate localization into the development cycle. Localize feature branches separately from the master branch, while they are still in development. Translators will immediately get notified of the new content to be translated. Files with ready translations will be pushed as pull requests to the l10n branch in Azure Repos repository. Ready to be merged.

Designing for the global audience might get tricky. Especially if you deal with multiple languages, handle the updates all by yourself or can't test translated mockups before the development starts. Any manual work you do is a waste of time and the last-minute fixes only slow down the release. With Crowdin for Figma, design teams can now build an efficient localization workflow. Automate routine processes, keep texts in sync, and make sure the translators have the necessary context. Crowdin launches a plugin for Figma to help you add and edit multi-language versions of a prototype. With little less effort and more focus on the work you do best – creating beautiful designs.

How much time your team would save if you could customize translated mockups before passing them to developers? You probably know the answer – enough to speed up the release and save up energy for more exciting tasks. Install Crowdin for Sketch plugin to send text for translation to Crowdin from Sketch in a click and pull translations back. Preview and customize the translated copies before turning them into code. Synchronize texts between Crowdin and Sketch any time you want and test translated copies inside your favorite tool. Get faster iterations and clear design across multiple languages.

Whether you’re a global business or have the ambition to become one, you need to find a way to help customers in their native language. A multiple language help center can become a valuable resource for self-service. Your clients will be able to find the necessary answers before they even contact your customer success team. And more, a multilanguage help center can power up your support agents and help them provide consistent personal assistance. Integrate your Zendesk Help Center with Crowdin to seamlessly translate your helpful content. Turn it into a valuable source of knowledge for both – your global customers and your team.
