Smartcat

Smartcat is a translation and localization platform that combines AI-powered machine translation with access to a global marketplace of professional human translators, letting businesses choose the right balance of speed, cost, and quality for different translation needs within a single platform rather than managing separate relationships with individual freelance translators and separate machine translation tools. Its translation editor supports collaborative work between multiple translators and editors on the same project, with built-in translation memory that reuses previously translated segments across a project and over time, which both speeds up future translation work and helps maintain consistent terminology across a large body of content translated over months or years. Businesses can route lower-stakes content through cost-effective machine translation with light human post-editing, while reserving full professional human translation for content where nuance and accuracy matter more, such as marketing copy or legal documents, managing that mixed workflow within one connected system rather than juggling separate vendors for each approach. Smartcat's marketplace connects businesses directly with vetted freelance translators across many language pairs and specializations, letting a company find and hire linguists for a specific project without going through a traditional translation agency as an intermediary. Integrations with content management systems and design tools let translated content flow back into a business's existing publishing workflow automatically. Smartcat is aimed at businesses with recurring, meaningful translation volume across multiple languages and content types.
