As we wrap up this year, we’d like to take a moment — between New Year’s celebrations and family gatherings — to look back at the progress we’ve made in 2024. From brand-new AI features to welcoming world-class clients, it’s been a year of breakthroughs at Crowdin. We closed 3174 tasks from our task manager, so we have a lot to cover. Ready for a quick tour? Let’s dive into the highlights that shaped 2024!

January: Apps to Check for AI-Generated Content, SSO Enhancements

February: Sequential Tasks, Crowdin’s New Editor Themes, Custom Spellchecks and Properties
In February 2024, Crowdin introduced sequential translation and proofreading tasks, custom spellchecks and custom properties, a dark theme option for Crowdin Enterprise, and Crowdin’s new Editor themes.
March: Screens Translation, New AI section in Crowdin, Courses From Crowdin and freeСodeСamp
In March 2024, we presented Screens Translation, new features in Crowdin Plugin for Figma, like support for Dev Mode (included in Figma’s paid version) and long-awaited native AI.
Back in March, we announced two free courses. One is our AI course, and the other, generously provided by freeCodeCamp, teaches how to localize websites and apps with Crowdin.
Our AI course is now a bit outdated, but we’re preparing updated learning resources. In the meantime, feel free to try AI yourself, book a demo, or stay tuned for what’s next.

April: Redesigned Glossary Page in Both Products, Transfer Ownership Option in Crowdin Enterprise
In April 2024, recognizing the importance of having a convenient way to manage resources, we updated our Glossary page with UI enhancements and new features designed to boost productivity for project managers and glossary managers, making it easier to maintain terminology effectively. Plus, we presented the customer story “Linearity about Crowdin Storyblok App” and other updates.
May: Crowdin Context Harvester CLI, Improvements to the TM Management Page
In May 2024, we presented one of the most exciting features/experiments — Context Harvester CLI (video about the tool), which is basically AI providing context for localization keys from your code, making it super easy to enhance the quality of translations by providing this context to the AI itself, or your linguists. Besides this, we showed you a lot of improvements to the TM page, Crowdin CLI 4.0, and a new filtering and search option in Editor via AI/CroQL filter.
June: New APIs and EU Data Residency Capabilities
In June 2024, we rolled out a few updates to AI, for example, the ability to send screenshots as a reference when requesting translations when using multimodal AI models such as GPT-4o. Updates also included enhanced user management in Crowdin Enterprise, announcement of AI Agents, and more.
August: First AI Proofreading Agent, AI QA Checks, Daily Usage Statistics for OTA
In August 2024, alongside the exciting releases of the AI Proofreading Agent and AI QA checks, we introduced updates such as the JS Proxy and other app enhancements, the ability to pin apps and tools, set a default editor view, significant improvements to the in-context tool, and a mandatory expiry date for invitation links.
September: Fine-Tuning Based on TM, Training Data Generator App, Draft Status for Glossary Terms
In September 2024, we made it easier to fine-tune because we added the ability to fine-tune based on TM, plus we created a Synthetic Data Generator. That month, we also showed draft status for terms in the Glossary, AI Match category in reports, new Crowdin Docs, and Developer Portal. We added and integrated a new API into the in-context interface to help you automate screenshot updating.
