Crowdin

Crowdin, a cloud-based translation management technology, provides a convenient solution for maintaining your Strapi content in multiple languages. This integration is not a Strapi plugin like most plugins here, this integration works as a Crowdin application that establishes a connection between Crowdin and your Strapi instance via APIs. This connection allows you to effectively synchronize content for translation, whether you prefer manual control or automated processes.
