Automatic quality assurance covers over 20 types of errors and flags potential terminology issues. The risk of human error is minimized and verification takes just a fraction of the time.

Full project awareness

Monitor project completion in real time. Statistics and performance metrics help to analyze the productivity of in-house and freelance translation providers.

Easy, flexible integration via our API automates the transfer of files for translation from the corporate systems you already have (CMS, ECM, EDM, SVN, and more). No file preparation or emailing necessary.

Testimonials

SmartCAT made it possible to set up an efficient workflow making use of all the latest technologies. It's so convenient when everything is centralized – we can easily create projects, assign translators, and monitor their progress. We can implement in-house standards and ensure top-notch translation quality.

We have been delighted with the intuitive interface, in which everything is just one click away. Learning SmartCAT takes under an hour. If you have experience with other CAT software, you may not need any training at all. And just in case, there are free webinars that explain everything in detail.

Also I wanted to note the rapid and excellent technical support (for when we've had questions). We receive answers on weekdays almost instantly, and even on weekends we hear back by email in just a few hours. Thank you to the SmartCAT team! You have been truly dedicated and helpful with everything. Working with a vibrant, energetic team of go-getters is a wonderful experience!

SmartCAT gives me access to a team of translators whom I trust and who know the voice and writing style we’re looking for at HotelTonight. The messaging functionality included in the SmartCAT editor allows me to communicate with them and provide any feedback and support they need to render the quirkiness and edginess of our content. In addition, the platform provides the latest CAT tools and ensures complete transparency for every project. I can view the progress of our translations, organize collaborative projects and access stats and metrics for each freelancer all in one place, which is awesome!

My search for a free CAT tool of this caliber, and especially one that works in the cloud, has been a long one. The wait is finally over!

Suleiman Murtaza

Freelance translator (Turkey)
Expanding into new markets has been a very big ‘lean in’ for us. We knew from the start that localizing easy ten into 10 new languages would require a) exceptional project management and b) coordinated teamwork. SmartCAT enables both of these, as a platform offering localization management and workflow transparency seamlessly combined with a translation environment for language professionals.

Yuri Shitikov

SmartCAT is a great solution that provides the ability to translate even large texts into different languages within a short time with the required quality, and to save completed translations for later reuse. Support for custom templates and existing translations substantially reduces the time needed for document creation and allows improving quality. When you read a document translated with the help of SmartCAT, the document may be so smooth and consistent that it reads like the work of one person, even though it is actually the result of team collaboration, carefully organized and assisted by SmartCAT.

NetCracker
I was honestly surprised when I saw how intuitive and easy to use SmartCAT is! It's the only cloud-based solution that I think is capable of replacing the stalwart CAT programs. And for translation of PDFs, SmartCAT is simply peerless.

Sergey Saveliev

Freelance translator (Russia)
What made me immediately fall in love with SmartCAT is its simplicity. Nothing superfluous, but everything you need is right there. Training is much quicker since anyone can master it in an afternoon with time to spare. The support team has been great as well.
Among the features in SmartCAT, I appreciate the online monitoring of all translation stages as well as the time savings. Projects get done a lot more quickly – for technical texts, for example, productivity is 150% of what it was before! Highly recommended!
