Smartling overview

What is Smartling?

Smartling is a cloud-based software platform for website, document, and mobile app localization. Using Smartling's Translation Management Platform, you can reach international users without the need of specialist coding knowledge.

Smartling's platform automatically collects content from your website or app, facilities human translation and then delivers the translated content back. The type of translation you prefer to use — human translation, machine translation, volunteer, non-professional, etc., — can all be managed by Smartling's customizable workflows.

In addition to managing the translation and localization process, you can integrate Smartling with your existing analytics software. Alternatively, you can view reports and analytics from the Smartling dashboard, gaining an understanding of page views, most popular languages, specific URL usage, etc.

Key benefits of using Smartling

  • Localize websites and mobile apps with little or no coding required

  • Avoid translation mistakes with Smartling's in-context view

  • Create custom translation workflows and manage the translation process

  • Customize your own glossary and style guide to be followed by your translators

  • Integrate with your current analytics software or access usage reports straight from the Smartling dashboard

  • Avoid duplicating work by matching patterns within content
  • Starting price

    Cons
    “But the translation software is really hard to use and many of our translators refused to use it after just 2 projects.”

    Verified reviewer

    Anonymity request

    “Their translation quality is actually really poor. Companies often make a mistake by thinking this is a localization tool but that's not the case.”

    Verified reviewer

    Anonymity request

    “My biggest concern is that it is very slow in comparison to other (mainly non-cloud) tools. I know that this is the price you pay for being always online, but we don’t want/need to be always online.”
