Document Control vs Crowdin

We have been transitioning from an older system using word documents kept in a secure drive. MediaLab has offered the ability to collaborate on document revisions, securely track document changes, and feel more assured that only the most current version of each document is in use. We can also see at-a-glance what documents exist as approved, in-review or needing update and can see usage reports to know which are most valuable. Feedback from custom quiz success rates allows us to improve how documents (or quizzes) are written. The system also allows for remote access, which is essential to making it available wherever you are that has internet connectivity.

I have a personal experience from both views - translator and product manager - and use the platform daily. Crowdin provides a clean dashboard for both sides, so the everyday work is pretty simple. For the translators, the tool offers the opportunity to use Translation Memory and machine learning and translation, which more accessible the whole process. The tool highlights the variables with different colors to ensure the specific items stay the same. Additionally, translators have the option to raise issues or comments and get in touch directly with the product managers. For product managers, the platform offers the ability to set up the translation (which is pretty easy) to multiple languages, track the progress, and bulk approve or decline the translators' suggestions. They can also answer the comments, manage the issues and also invite new users via different channels. The platform has an affordable pricing.
