Smartling

Smartling is a translation management system (TMS) designed for enterprises that need to localize websites, apps, documentation, and marketing content across dozens of languages simultaneously.

The platform orchestrates the entire localization workflow — from content ingestion through translation, review, and publishing — combining AI-powered neural machine translation with human translator marketplaces. Smartling's neural MT engine produces initial drafts that professional translators then refine, reducing turnaround time by up to 60% while maintaining publication-ready quality.

The visual context feature shows translators exactly where their text will appear on a webpage or in an app, dramatically reducing contextual errors. Translation memory stores every approved translation, ensuring consistency across projects and avoiding paying to translate the same phrase twice.

Smartling integrates with content management systems including WordPress, Contentful, Drupal, and Adobe Experience Manager, plus code repositories through its CLI tool for developer documentation and UI strings. The style guide and glossary tools enforce brand voice and terminology across all translators and languages.

Quality assurance checks automatically flag issues like untranslated text, placeholder mismatches, and length violations before publishing. Smartling serves companies like Lyft, Pinterest, and SurveyMonkey that manage localization across 50+ languages at scale.
