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**Lingvanex Translation API.** $5 per million characters list price. Product pages disagree on bulk and on-premise prices.\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### Lingvanex Translation API\n\n1. Call the https:// server, not the http:// one the spec also lists\n2. Send `platform` as api on every call, since the spec marks it required\n3. Use locale codes such as en_GB and de_DE, not two-letter codes\n4. Check the `err` field on every response, since errors aren't only signalled by status code\n5. Send an array in `data` to translate several strings in one call\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Crowdin or Lingvanex Translation API?\n\nCrowdin scores 69.6 (B) on agent readiness against Lingvanex Translation API's 37 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Crowdin and Lingvanex Translation API need an API key?\n\nCrowdin takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Lingvanex Translation API needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Crowdin and Lingvanex Translation API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Crowdin has a hosted endpoint at https://api.crowdin.com/api/v2 and Lingvanex Translation API at https://api-b2b.backenster.com/b1/api/v3.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crowdin-vs-lingvanex.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crowdin-vs-lingvanex.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"crowdin\", \"b\": \"lingvanex\"}`.
