Martin Chrástek is a localization engineer with deep hands-on expertise in the technical side of localization - the part that sits between your codebase and your translation workflow. He specializes in setting up, automating, and optimizing Crowdin-based localization pipelines for software teams that need more than just a configured TMS.

With a background spanning localization engineering across multiple production environments, Martin brings both breadth and precision. He has built custom tooling from scratch — including document translation APIs, and localization analytics dashboards — and has direct experience with i18n frameworks such as lingui.js, making him equally comfortable talking to engineers and localization managers.

What sets Martin apart is his ability to take ownership of the full technical implementation: from integrating Crowdin into existing CI/CD workflows to building the glue layer that makes automation actually work in practice.

Services

• Crowdin setup & workflow design — configuring projects, branches, file formats, and automated workflows tailored to your development process
• i18n framework integration — hands-on implementation support for JavaScript i18n libraries including lingui.js
• Localization automation — scripting and tooling to eliminate manual steps across your localization pipeline
• Custom API & tooling development — building Python- or JS-based integrations when off-the-shelf connectors fall short
• GenAI integration — incorporating AI-assisted translation and content generation into Crowdin workflows without disrupting existing processes
• Localization analytics — setting up dashboards and metrics to give visibility into translation quality, throughput, and cost
