Стратегии перевода

Once you created your project and uploaded source files for localization, it’s time to decide who will translate and proofread your content. This article covers all the possible approaches you can mix and match to meet your personal needs and preferences.

Invite Your Team of Translators

Invite as many translators and proofreaders to your project as needed. You can also give the manager access to a lead translator or project manager to manage the translation process for you (invite translators, meet deadlines, and maintain quality).

Send email invitations or share an invitation link with access to your localization project in Crowdin. You can invite:

  • Штатные переводчики
  • Фрилансеры
  • Translation agencies you already work with

Manage the project members in the Members tab. You can invite translators or proofreaders, granting them access to the specific target languages.

Order Professional Translations

Crowdin Vendors Marketplace includes professional translation agencies you can hire to translate and proofread your project files. To see the list of all available vendors, open Store > Vendors.

Some of the transition agencies are integrated with Crowdin via API. These agencies are marked with icon next to their names in the marketplace. When you decide to work with them, Crowdin forwards your untranslated data directly to the agency, and after the translation is completed, it is uploaded back to the project.

Профессиональный перевод является платным сервисом, где автоматически рассчитывается примерная стоимость вашего проекта или же вы можете вести переговоры в процессе покупки.

Configure Machine Translation Engines

Crowdin integrates with the most popular Machine Translation (MT) engines such as Microsoft Translator, Google Translate, Google AutoML Translation, DeepL Translator, Watson (IBM) Language Translator, and Amazon Translate.

Configure these engines to use manual or automated pre-translation via MT. A human translator can also review those translations and do post-editing if needed. Otherwise, you can configure an MT of your choice so the machine translations will be shown in the Editor as suggestions to assist your translators.

Engage Your Community

If you have a popular product and an active community around it that would like to help you with translations, feel free to start crowdsourcing. It’s a good practice to cooperate with members on a volunteer basis and reward their efforts, providing them with some goods/discounts or in any other way that works for both parties.

When working with the community translators, a good workflow looks the following way: community translators translate the project, and when the translations are finished, you can order professional proofreading from a translation agency to ensure high translation quality.
