Risorse Crowdin

EMCD is a global crypto platform combining a mining pool, wallet, P2P exchange, and other tools for managing digital assets. As the company expanded into new markets, localization went from "nice to have" to a core part of the product experience. Victoria Franskevich is the Localization Team Lead at EMCD, with 7 years of experience in localization and project management across industries. At EMCD, Victoria built the localization process from scratch. The infrastructure she created now supports the product's global expansion. We sat down with Victoria to talk about what it actually takes to build an expandable localization capability at a fast-moving fintech company and why most localization problems have nothing to do with translation.

This August was about giving your AI agent the whole Crowdin toolkit. The MCP Server already lets an agent access your projects, now it has the tools to work in your codebase too. Crowdin CLI 5.0 is a complete rewrite that starts in milliseconds and speaks JSON and TOON. Four new Crowdin Skills came with it, including i18n-setup, which takes an app from hardcoded strings to multilingual on its own. Copilot can now build an AI Pipeline from a plain-language description, and you can add to a request while it's still going. There are changes across the rest of the product too: a much faster Editor and file manager on large projects, the first round of accessibility improvements, a Variables tab in the Figma plugin. We also shipped an Adobe Experience Manager connector. Let's dive into the details.

When your product protects people's homes, families, and businesses, a translation error can shatter trust, violate regulations, or leave someone unable to use a device they depend on. That's the reality Olena Azanova lives every day as Localization Team Lead at Ajax Systems, Europe's largest manufacturer of security systems. In a recent episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, host Stefan Huyghe sat down with Olena to unpack what localization really looks like when the stakes are this high and the lessons she's learned scaling a multilingual team across more than 12 markets.

Based on an engineering case study by Pranav Shrivastava, UI Engineer 2 at MiQ. For engineering teams, internationalization (i18n) has a way of quietly turning into a delivery bottleneck. At MiQ, a global, data-driven programmatic advertising platform, it did exactly that. MiQ's distributed front end spans 15+ micro-frontends, and their legacy localization process required heavy engineering involvement, manual code releases, and up to two weeks of lead time to ship even a simple copy update. By moving to Lingui and Crowdin, MiQ decoupled localization from their development sprints. With Over-the-Air (OTA) content delivery and an AI-assisted translation workflow, they removed engineers from the translation loop entirely.

The language industry has spent decades built on a simple premise: someone writes something, someone else translates it. According to Florian Faes, Managing Director at Slator, that foundation is cracking, and what's emerging from underneath looks almost nothing like the industry people signed up for. In this episode of The Agile Localization Podcast, host Stefan Huyghe sits down with Florian ahead of SlatorCon San Francisco (September 3, 2026) to talk through what Slator's data is actually showing, and where the money, the talent, and the opportunity are headed next.
