Best suited for

  1. In-house software localization teams in search of an affordable solution
  2. Crowdsourcing / working with a huge pool of users

Launched by Sergey Dmytryshyn in Ternopil, Ukraine, in 2009 Crowdin was designed originally as a localization crowdsourcing platform. A few localization managers adopted it for their products following a post from a translation industry pundit, most notably, it has been used to localize a popular video game Minecraft into multiple languages at minimal cost. Same with a different popular game Plague, Inc from another developer, and finally, e-learning platform Khan Academy used Crowdin.

Crowdin became popular and even hip with the developer community. It quickly grew in the number of registered accounts, because it was possible to send links for localization over social media. In 2017 the service hit over 1 million registered accounts. The team gradually expanded Crowdin’s functionality into a fully-fledged management system with more features and more file format support, targeting product owners and developers rather than translation industry professionals.

The company currently employs more than 40 people.
