Productivity Apps Collection to Localize Faster and Achieve More in 2021

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.

Website Localization with Crowdin

17 mins read

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. We’ll provide you with a technology aimed at helping teams localize websites effortlessly. No manual source content export or translation copy-pasting. Let’s look at the website localization tips and how to translate websites on WordPress, Webflow, Joomla, or any similar website builder tool using Crowdin.

Data-Driven Approach to Translation Quality Evaluation

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. Localization quality assurance is a complex task that includes linguistic QA, visual QA, functionality QA, and more. You can now cope with the first one easier and get more insights into the contributors’ performance with the Linguistic Quality Assurance app.

Read on to learn how you can configure the app for your Crowdin and Crowdin Enterprise projects and track the quality, productivity, and efficiency of translation with the industry-standard metrics.

Development and localization running in parallel: tips for developers

To release multilingual products successfully, you’ll need to add localization to your workflow and make sure it’s automated so it won’t delay your next release. With Crowdin, localization can go in parallel with the development process. Meaning that each new text string created or modified by you goes to the translator into the Crowdin project. Translations get back to your repository in a few minutes. This way you’ll have translations once you’re ready to deploy your next update.
