Talk:Crowdin

Untitled

Hi!

As suggested, here's a list of top notable and reliable referring resources, in no specific order:

1. GALA Global
2. The Future of Translation Technology
3. Crowdsourcing and Online Collaborative Translations

@Meli.roden: we need to see WP:RELIABLE sources. #1 and #4 are self published. #2 is not WP:INDEPENDENT. #3 looks good. We need to see one or two more like this. ~Kvng (talk) 15:45, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

@Kvng: Thank you for the help! I see what you mean. Could you please also take a look if the updated sources are the ones that qualify? I noticed that online resources are mostly debatable resources. Regarding "Gala global" they are an online resource, but it's an "industry expert" that doesn't have any "self-promotion, personal financial benefit", so they should be ok, right? Thank you!

@Meli.roden: What do you mean by "the updated sources"? ~Kvng (talk) 13:53, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

@Kvng: I just removed the sources you outlined (from the draft and my talk page) and tried to choose the ones that should be better fitting the requirement. So I updated the 3 sources listed on the page: removed the ones that weren't fitting (#1,3,4) and replaced them (#1,2) with the ones that now seem to be more like #3. Sorry, if I sound confusing.Meli.roden (talk) 14:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

@Meli.roden: The new #1 () is a press release so does not qualify. The new #2 looks good. ~Kvng (talk) 15:05, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Edit Request for Introduction and Infobox

1. Row to be added to the InfoBox: "| industry = Translation and localization"
2. Text to be added to the introduction, after the text "educational projects.":

"Crowdin’s platform provides tools to manage multilingual content development and translation for software, mobile applications, games, websites, marketing, and technical documentation. Crowdin’s localization software integrates artificial intelligence (AI) with features of a translation management system (TMS) and a computer-assisted translation tool."

• Reasons for the changes:
  1. To add the context on what is the industry the company operates in.
  2. Current introduction doesn't fully cover the true essence of the company: just in general what tools does the platform provide and what is it used for.
• References supporting the changes:
  1. The company's Wikipedia page itself shows the company as from "Translation and localization" industry.
  2. https://support.crowdin.com/introduction

Hope that the references fit. If not, please let me know.

1. Done Edit seems uncontroversial. Section added to infobox.
2. Not done: The changes are not supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made.  Sourcing the official website of the platform is ill-advised. I believe the proposed section fits NPOV for the most part but would need to be supported by an independent, reliable source. --^The Robot Parade 15:25, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

   Hello, thank you a lot for checking in and making the first change. As for the second edit, here is an independent resource that could be a reference: Slator article. Crowdin is being described as an AI-powered localization solution from an independent source. Let me know if this suits. Volodymyr.popovych00 (talk) 14:54, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

@Volodymyr.popovych00: I appreciate the response, however the link you've provided is a press release, which is not independent nor reliable per WP:PRSOURCE. --^The Robot Parade 22:11, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
