Crowdin-ressourcer

Our release announcements are getting a makeover. Starting now, we’ll be highlighting some features in "What’s New" summaries, while major updates will now have their own separate posts. This shift ensures we can give you more depth and share important updates the moment they drop. Expect the first of these separate announcements to arrive in just a few days! This February, we released Crowdin CLI 4.14.0, which uses AI and our new Crowdin Skills to pull context directly from your code. This helps translators or AI understand exactly what they’re working on without the guesswork. We’ve also launched the Crowdin Certificates app—a new way to prove your expertise based on your actual work on the platform, not just theory. Beyond these updates, we’ve introduced a Screen Capture extension to make managing screenshots easier and a new traditional menu in the Editor for a more familiar layout. You’ll also find new apps like Langbly MT and Google Private Drive in the Crowdin Store, along with several updates to our Figma plugin.

When B2B SaaS companies talk about going global, what they often mean is: send content in, get translations out, and hope for the best. In reality, that approach breaks the moment you try to scale. In this episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, host Stefan Huyghe is joined by Nicola Calabrese, the Founder of Undertow, to dive into how B2B SaaS companies can build structured, scalable localization programs powered by AI. With more than a decade in software localization, SEO, and process design, Nicola makes one thing clear: AI doesn’t fix chaos. It amplifies it. Here’s how to avoid that trap.

When Valentina Wainstein joined the localization team at MyHeritage nearly a decade ago, the site focused on helping people find their ancestors. Today, it’s a global AI and DNA powerhouse. It's the kind of company that doesn't just show you a family tree, but helps you unlock your own biology. The company’s growth has been massive following its success in the AI and genetic health space, MyHeritage is now valued at approximately $1 billion. For Valentina, the goal has always been simple: make sure these life-changing discoveries aren't blocked by a language barrier. "Our products can truly change lives," she says, "and no one should miss that opportunity just because they don’t speak English".

Let's be real about a situation that happens all the time when scaling large websites: you're managing a global website. Your boss wants the site live in 15 markets by Q2. You've got translators working in Crowdin, content flowing through DatoCMS, and you're supposed to sign off on everything being “good to go”. There's just one tiny problem: you don't speak German, Japanese, Portuguese, or the other 12 languages you're supposedly managing. You can't review the translations yourself. You can't afford to hire 20 native speakers for full-time QA. You can't just trust that everything is fine and hope for the best when the CEO asks if the Spanish site is ready. You need a system that works, and you can set one up using DatoCMS and Crowdin together.

When teams talk about localization, it’s often framed as a finishing step. Ship the product, extract the strings, translate, and move on. However, as Szymon Metkowski, Language and UX Consultant at Metkowski Translations, explains in this episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, that mindset is exactly what causes broken interfaces, confusing microcopy, and lost user trust. In this conversation with host Stefan Huyghe, Szymon unpacks what UX-aware localization really looks like in practice. From why microcopy failures can quietly kill conversions, to how AI can help or hurt depending on how it’s used, the message is clear: if language isn’t considered during design, no amount of post-launch fixes will fully save the experience.
