Comparison
wortwerk vs. Crowdin
Crowdin is one of the largest localization platforms, with a marketplace of hundreds of apps and integrations and strong support for community translation of open-source projects. wortwerk is deliberately smaller: a git-first tool for teams who want translations to behave like code.
