About Smartling
Smartling is a translation management system aimed at mid-sized and large companies localizing websites, apps, marketing content, documents and support content. Content flows in through connectors for CMSs, ecommerce platforms, code repositories and design tools, or through a website proxy that translates pages without code changes. Inside the platform it combines AI translation with translation memory and glossaries, workflow automation, quality checks, and an option to buy professional human translation from Smartling's own linguist network, so one vendor can handle both the software and the people. There is a free entry plan for individuals and small teams translating business documents, while the real product is sold through sales on custom plans. Analysts rank it among the category leaders. The flip side is enterprise pricing and complexity: smaller teams localizing a single app will usually find developer-focused tools simpler and cheaper.
Best for: Enterprises that want software, content and human translation services from one vendor.
