What’s New at Crowdin: July 2022 Roundup

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.

Crowdin Marketplace

Glossary Translate Glossary Translate

Import data in the glossaries you are translating automatically. In case you often update your glossary and add new terms, you’ll probably like to automate the data import process. Using the Glossary Translate App, you can enable data auto-import once a day (at the selected time), and the file’s data of this project will be automatically imported into your glossary.

Appsmith Appsmith

Appsmith is an open-source tool, you can use to create, deploy, and manage micro apps with little or no coding.

Crowdin Enterprise: GraphQL API and Multilingual Support

GraphQL API

This month, we announced the GraphQL API. With its help, you can retrieve exactly the data you need using more specific and flexible queries. GraphQL API helps developers with the creation of new, powerful apps and custom integrations for Crowdin and stands alongside our REST and CroQL.

See how, with the help of GraphQL API, you can retrieve exactly the data and ask for exactly what you need. Nothing more, nothing less. More information is available on our Crowdin Developer Portal.

Crowdin Translation Companion

Crowdin Translation Companion is our new plugin for multilingual support chats. Use it to have conversations in your customer’s language without the need to speak the language. MT engines integrated into your chat via Crowdin will help you translate both your messages and customer requests.

In July, we improved its usability so now, you can choose the language not only for one message but for all the messages within a single chat. Learn more about Crowdin Translation Companion in our recent article.

Display More Information Using Editor Grid View

The new option is available in the Crowdin Editor. Switch to multilingual mode, and try grid view to make the interface more similar to Excel, allowing more information to be displayed simultaneously.

For this, go to Editor > View > Multilingual > Grid.

Use Bundles to Export Translations in Different Formats

Crowdin Bundles allows you to upload a single source file (e.g., Android XML) to your project, translate it and then, using bundles, export translations for multiple platforms by generating different file formats (e.g., Android XML for the Android app, iOS strings for the iOS app, JSON for the web app, etc.).

You can add and configure bundles for exporting sets of strings in one of the available file formats. For this, go to your project > Settings > Target Files Export > Add bundle. To add more formats, install the apps from Crowdin Store.

You can also configure new distribution using bundles. For this, go to your project > Tools >Add distribution > Export options > Bundle.
