Website translation, without the file sync.
Crowdin is built for localizing software: strings, files, and repositories. Bablic is built for your website. Translate every page from one snippet, refine it on the live page, and pay for traffic, not words.
How do Bablic and Crowdin compare?
Crowdin and Bablic both translate content, but they start in different places: Crowdin from your files and repositories, Bablic from your live website.
Marketing sites, stores, help centers, and web apps, translated from the live site.
App strings, docs, and resource files. Websites through CMS integrations or a proxy app.
Bablic detects the pages on your site and produces a translated first pass automatically.
The Website Translator app crawls up to five links deep, imports the pages you pick as files, then needs its own snippet.
Priced on the visits your site receives, with machine translation included.
Source words multiplied by target languages, so every new language multiplies the count.
Machine translation is built in, with AI post-editing and human post-editing to refine it.
40+ engines and LLMs, run from a prepaid balance or your own API keys.
Edit translations in context, fix layout, and swap images and assets per language.
In-Context editing needs a pseudo-language and a JS snippet added to your app.
Your marketing team runs translation without a repository, CLI, or file exports.
Repository sync with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure Repos, plus a CLI, API, and 700+ integrations.
Built for strings, not pages.
Crowdin is organized around files and strings. Developers sync resource files from a repository, translators work string by string, and translations return as pull requests. That model fits an app interface. For a website, Crowdin's Website Translator crawls your pages, imports the ones you pick as files, and publishes them back through a snippet and a CDN.
Bablic starts from the website itself. Install one snippet and your pages are translated automatically, then your team refines them in the visual editor as they appear on the page.
Every language multiplies the bill.
More languages, more hosted words.
Crowdin counts hosted words as your source words multiplied by your target languages, so 500 words in ten languages is 5,000 hosted words. Machine translation and AI are paid from a prepaid balance or your own API keys, and Website Translator's CDN delivery is billed on traffic.
One plan, one price.
Bablic pricing is based on the traffic your site receives, not the words on it. Machine translation is built in, so there's no separate balance to top up or API key to buy, and one install covers your whole site.
When Crowdin is the right call.
If you're localizing a software product, Crowdin is built for exactly that. Its repository sync, CLI, and 700+ integrations fit how engineering teams already ship, and its free plan for open source projects supports community translation at scale. Plenty of teams run both: Crowdin for the app, Bablic for the website.
Moving your website from Crowdin.
Export your translation memory from Crowdin as TMX and the Bablic team imports it for you, along with your glossaries and translation rules. Your Bablic account runs in parallel with your existing site, so translations can be reviewed and refined before anything goes live. Your app strings can stay in Crowdin.
