Translation runs inside Crowdin projects and connected engines, so it is not a stateless per-character translation API. No Retry-After guidance, idempotency keys or SLA were found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**Lara Translate API.** Glossaries, translation memories, styles and instructions on every translate call. Texts may be used for model improvement unless a request sets `noTrace`.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Crowdin\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e` to `https://api.crowdin.com/api/v2`. Crowdin Enterprise uses `https://\u003corganization_domain\u003e.api.crowdin.com/api/v2`\n2. Use the MCP V2 endpoint `https://mcp.crowdin.com/v2/mcp` and set `crowdin-tool-sets`, because the server loads all 33 tool sets by default\n3. Set `crowdin-read-only: true` on the MCP connection for exploration. It exposes only list and get tools\n4. Keep to 20 concurrent requests an account across all tokens, and add your own backoff on 429\n5. Upload a file to `/storages` first, then pass the `storageId` to the add-file call. Builds, exports and reports are asynchronous and need a status poll\n6. `/mts/{mtId}/translations` takes at most 100 strings a call and needs the `mt` scope and a configured engine\n\n### Lara Translate API\n\n1. Set `noTrace` on every request that carries private text, since storage for model improvement is the default\n2. Leave `reasoning` off unless the text needs it. It moves the call to Lara Think at $2,499 per million characters\n3. Resolve glossary and memory names to `gls_*` and `mem_*` IDs with the list tools before translating\n4. Send one target language per translate call\n5. Merge short documents, since each file bills at least 20,000 characters\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Crowdin or Lara Translate API?\n\nCrowdin scores 69.6 (B) on agent readiness against Lara Translate API's 61.3 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Lara Translate API leads on agent ergonomics and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Crowdin and Lara Translate API need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Crowdin and Lara Translate API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Crowdin has a hosted endpoint at https://api.crowdin.com/api/v2 and Lara Translate API at https://mcp-v2.laratranslate.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crowdin-vs-lara-translate.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crowdin-vs-lara-translate.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"crowdin\", \"b\": \"lara-translate\"}`.
