What Is Smartling?
Smartling manages translation projects from content ingestion through AI or human translation, review, quality checks, and publishing. Its platform includes translation memory, terminology, visual context, workflow automation, quality scoring, analytics, and integrations that connect websites, repositories, CMS platforms, support systems, and other content sources to centralized localization processes.
Best for: Global enterprises that need governed translation workflows across websites, software, support, and marketing content.
Smartling combines a translation-management platform with connectors, automation, language services, and multiple translation methods. Content can be pulled from source systems, processed through machine, AI, or human workflows, and returned without manual file shuttling; this suits organizations where localization spans many sites, products, and content repositories.
