Pros and cons

By far though the most useful feature is the ability to translate text live on the page itself, the ability to have context available when translating is incredibly powerful.
It's easy to navigate around the platform and oversee the progress across the projects. Machine translations are great and as correct as you could expect them to be.
This way our clients have an easy to use way to edit translations of the platforms we build. Tolgee supports all kind of i18n features like plural, etc.
I mostly used Figma plugin and it is the main reason I have stopped using Tolgee, because it was really annoying to choose the keys each time.
Features specific to ARB extension and singular/plural translation is missing.
It was a bit hard in react to do out of context translation.

Excellent Core Features

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall good experience for the free tier Tolgee is providing for my usecase.

Pros

Easy of setting up translations for multi-languages and automatic machine translated texts.

Cons

Features specific to ARB extension and singular/plural translation is missing.

Vendor response

Thanks for your nice review! Unfortunately, there are plenty of formats out there, and we're unable to support all of them now. We are currently focusing primarily on major Javascript frameworks. Thanks again for your support!

Tolgee makes translation management effortless

Reviewed 7 months ago

Very positive, Tolgee has increased development efforts since developers can worry less and spend less time on translation management.

Pros

Mostly intuitive UI and well integrated with machine translation providers. Easily manage translation keys across many languages. Import/export. API and CLI tools readily available. Easily filter and mark translations. See overall stats and progress on translations per language. Tolgee team is consistency improving the product, i.e. new features, new batch APIs, etc.

Cons

Nothing overly negative to say about Tolgee. Only thing I wish was different is that "select all" is a batch API operation that can sometimes have issues, but I realize that it is that way since not all translations are loaded on the screen at once.

Vendor response

Hello Kalyn, thank you for your great review and detailed feedback!  Regarding the "select all" batch API operation, we're eager to address any issues you've encountered. Could you please share more details with us at jan@tolgee.io? Your feedback helps us improve continuously. Thanks again for your support!

I like the most that it integrates with many different solutions and frameworks, and that it's open source and can be self-hosted

Effortless Localization

Reviewed 9 months ago

My overall experience with Tolgee has been highly positive. The efficiency gained from Autonomous Translation significantly accelerates the localization process, although there was a slight learning curve with interface customization. The platform's seamless integration and real-time gains make it an invaluable tool for streamlining development tasks.

Pros

Autonomous Translation by Tolgee has truly transformed my development experience. The immediate translation of new keys without manual intervention is a game-changer. This hands-free efficiency not only saves time but also allows me to focus on core tasks.

Cons

While Tolgee impresses with its Autonomous Translation, the customization options in the interface pose a slight learning curve. Navigating through preferences and settings can be a bit intricate, requiring some time to familiarize oneself with the platform's nuances. However, once accustomed, the benefits far outweigh this initial challenge.

Fantastic translation service

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

The machine learning feature saves a lot of time, essential on startup environments. The UI is also very well designed and it makes getting an overview of the state of your application easy. By far though the most useful feature is the ability to translate text live on the page itself, the ability to have context available when translating is incredibly powerful.

Cons

From a developer experience the documentation can be a bit lacking at times. It helps that there's a slack for support but more could be done to reduce the onboarding pain points of the platform.

Vendor response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad to hear that you're finding Tolgee helpful! We've revamped our documentation last week, so we believe it will be easier to follow now. If you have any specific ideas on how we can make it better, please feel free to reach out to us in the Slack community or via e-mail. We're always happy to help reduce any onboarding pain points you may have encountered. Thanks again.

This app has solved all our translation problems

Reviewed 2 years ago

We use Tolgee in our ReactJS apps. Everything works perfectly. We translate the most important texts right in the website. Hidden text like error messages are translated using the web interface of Tolgee app. Deployment is really easy, just save the translations and upload them to the production.

Pros

The best feature is translation tool in browser which allows us to translate text directly on page.

Cons

The application doesn't have any bigger issues, just the design of UI is a little old-school.

Vendor response

We are glad that in-context translation in the browser brings you such great value! Thank you for your review.

Great tool for collaborative localization

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Interface is easy to use, really simple, nothing too complicated that obstructs vision. Only essential actions are displayed which makes the UI very good looking. The fact that it's a webapp makes it really good for supporting a maximum of platforms available. Self-hosting is also a great benefit from other platforms to integrate it in corporate / isolated networks.

Cons

Some features can still be improved. I haven't used the app enough to have a global view of the app but overall I don't find anything bad or misimplemented.

Machine translations and editor performance. Machine translations seems that can't be used, while the editor isn't so comfortable: although keyboard shortcuts are nice, some editor views (like history) aren't smart, because you can't write anymore a string if you are seeing an editor tab

Hi Maicol, thank you very much for your honest review; it helps us move forward! We're glad you like the design of Tolgee; we are focusing on offering an easy-to-use and clean UI product. Thank you for the editor-related feedback; we will take it into account. Also, we are sorry that machine translation doesn't work in your project.
