Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Crowdin integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Crowdin calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Crowdin data, across all 230 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Crowdin access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Crowdin, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Crowdin is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Crowdin.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Crowdin action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses OAuth 2.0 to connect to your Crowdin account. When you initiate the connection, you are redirected to the Crowdin authorization page where you grant specific permissions. Crowdin then provides an access token and a refresh token. We store these tokens using industry standard encryption at rest. The agent uses the refresh token to maintain a valid session without requiring you to log in repeatedly. You can revoke this access at any time through your Crowdin account settings under the authorized applications section, which immediately kills the connection and removes the tokens from our system.
Yes. The agent follows the required two step upload process. First, it uses the upload storage tool to push the file to Crowdin storage, which returns a storage id. Second, it uses that id to add the file to the specific project or branch. This method is designed for stability with large assets. However, be aware that Crowdin has a maximum file size limit depending on your plan tier. If a file exceeds this limit, the API will return an error, and the agent will notify you that the file is too large for your current plan.
Absolutely. The agent can create, list, and delete branches to match your git workflow. You can set up a trigger so that every time a developer creates a feature branch in your repository, Ceven creates a matching branch in Crowdin. This prevents translation work on a stable release from being overwritten by experimental strings from a feature branch. The agent can then merge these translations back into the main project branch once the feature is approved and the translations are verified by your linguistic team.
Yes. Crowdin enforces rate limits on their API to ensure platform stability. If the agent triggers too many requests in a short window, Crowdin will return a 429 Too Many Requests response. Ceven handles this automatically by implementing an exponential backoff strategy. This means the agent will pause and retry the request after a short delay. For most users, this happens invisibly in the background. However, if you are running massive bulk updates across thousands of strings, you might notice a slight slowdown as the agent respects these limits.
The agent can perform several management tasks including listing project members and updating project settings. While it cannot perform the actual translation work, it can organize the work for your humans. For example, you can tell the agent to list all members who are not yet assigned to a high priority project or to update project visibility settings. It can also apply labels to strings to help your translators filter for the most urgent tasks, ensuring that your team focuses on the right content at the right time.
The agent uses the list reports tool to pull progress data for a given project. This allows it to see the percentage of completion for each target language. You can build a workflow that checks this status every hour and sends a Slack notification to the team once a specific language reaches ninety percent completion. This removes the need for a project manager to manually log into the Crowdin dashboard to check if the localization is ready for the final QA phase before a release.
The agent can update the text of a string using the edit string tool, but it does not possess linguistic expertise to fix grammar or nuance. It is best used to update source strings that have changed in the code. If a developer changes a label in the app, the agent can push that update to Crowdin, which marks the existing translation as outdated. You can then trigger a workflow to notify the translator that a specific string needs a review because the source text has changed.
Yes. This is one of the strongest use cases for the integration. By using the add label and assign label to strings tools, the agent can categorize content based on external data. For example, if your source files contain metadata about which feature a string belongs to, the agent can read that metadata and apply a corresponding label in Crowdin. This allows your translation team to work in batches, such as completing all strings for the onboarding flow before moving on to the settings menu.
