Tolgee
In-context localization — Alt+click to translate in your live app.
Apache 2.0 alternative to Crowdin with SDK integrations for React, Vue, and more. AI translation, MCP server for coding assistants, and Docker self-hosting.
Weblate is itself a free, open-source (GPLv3+) web-based translation platform with tight Git integration, widely used by open-source projects like Debian and F-Droid — it's not proprietary, so people looking for an "alternative" here are typically after a different workflow, such as editing translations directly inside a running application instead of through a separate web-based translation UI.
Tolgee takes that different approach, letting you Alt+click strings in your live app to translate them in context.
