Frequently Asked Questions
Integration & Localization
What is the Crowdin integration with Hygraph and how does it work?
The Crowdin integration allows companies to connect Crowdin, a cloud-based localization platform, directly to Hygraph. Teams can invite translators within the Hygraph UI, automate content translation workflows, and set quality expectations. Content can be sent to Crowdin for translation, downloaded back, or updated automatically on a schedule (e.g., hourly or daily). This integration streamlines multilingual content management and enables agile localization for websites, apps, and other digital assets. Note: Crowdin integration is best suited for teams needing automated, scalable localization; teams with highly custom translation workflows may require additional configuration. Learn more about the integration.
What types of content can be localized using Crowdin and Hygraph?
With Crowdin and Hygraph, you can localize product UI, websites, mobile apps, marketing communications, emails, help docs, and other customer-facing content. Crowdin supports multiple translation strategies, including community translations, post-editing, and translation by several agencies at once. Note: Crowdin is optimized for structured content; highly unstructured or custom content types may require manual review. See supported content types.
How can I automate translation updates between Hygraph and Crowdin?
You can configure automated schedules within the Crowdin integration for Hygraph, allowing content updates to be pushed and pulled at intervals such as every hour, once a day, or at custom times.
