How Fundeen translates faster
with SimpleLocalize

About Fundeen

Fundeen is a Spanish crowdfunding platform that enables individuals and communities to invest in renewable energy projects. From solar farms to wind power, the company connects investors with clean energy initiatives that are both local and impactful.

“We connect investors with clean energy projects, promoting local and sustainable investment through our platform.”
— Víctor Gutiérrez, Fundeen

What sets Fundeen apart is its focus on local ownership of the energy transition. By giving people the ability to fund renewable projects near them, Fundeen is helping democratize access to clean energy — and building a more sustainable future in the process.

The localization challenge

As Fundeen expanded, it quickly became essential to support multiple languages, not just for accessibility, but for trust. Their user base includes Spanish, Catalan, and English speakers, and it was critical to offer a seamless experience across all three.

But managing translations manually was unsustainable.

“Before SimpleLocalize, it was a mess. Translations were often forgotten, the files had issues, and managing everything manually was cumbersome. It was time-consuming and error-prone.”

The translation process was disorganized, time-consuming, and error-prone, especially when updates were frequent.

How SimpleLocalize helped

When Fundeen implemented SimpleLocalize, everything changed. The team immediately saw a drastic improvement in the way they handled translations.

Instead of digging through files and trying to keep translations in sync, they now control everything from one place, right inside their application.

“We just focus on setting the variables correctly. Everything is managed from within the application itself. It's straightforward and efficient.”

The impact of localization

Although Fundeen currently operates in three languages: Spanish, Catalan, and English, the impact of offering a multilingual platform has been noticeable.

After introducing additional languages, the platform began attracting traffic from new countries and achieved stronger penetration in markets where language had previously been a barrier.

While Fundeen has not conducted a formal quantitative analysis, the increase in international traffic suggests a positive effect on user acquisition and platform usage.

“The availability of localized content reduces cognitive friction and likely improves user experience and the probability of conversion.”

For a fintech and crowdfunding platform, clarity and trust are essential. Making the platform accessible in users' native languages strengthens credibility and makes investment decisions easier.

Why SimpleLocalize worked

Fundeen found that SimpleLocalize's features perfectly matched their needs:

• Faster translations with automation
  Fundeen uses SimpleLocalize's built-in automatic translation feature directly within the platform. By relying on integrated automation, without additional external engines, the team can translate and publish updates quickly and consistently.
• Better organization
  Centralizing translations in a single platform significantly reduces operational overhead compared to manual or distributed processes, especially during recurring updates and multilingual maintenance.
• Fewer errors and missed strings
  With everything managed through the SimpleLocalize interface, there's less risk of forgetting or misplacing translation files.

“The translation process is much more efficient. There are fewer errors, and we no longer have to worry about missing translations.”

Language selector in action

Fundeen also implemented a clean, easy-to-use language selector on their website. The selector allows users to easily switch between Español, English, and Català with a single click.

It's small, simple, and effective — just like the localization setup behind it. This small touch improves the user experience for a multilingual audience and ensures that people can use the platform in the language they are most comfortable with.
