Fantastic resource for PMs and translators - just the search functionality could do with improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The navigation on screens, the ease to have all the assets needed in a single platform, the structure of the TM. It's a generally very good software that is as good for entry level translators as it is for PMs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search functionality has always been my nemesis. It's so difficult to find the right key, sometimes, it gives similar results and it's not possible to sort by date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SML provides a fantastic infrastructure for translators and PMs. Streamlines the work.
Efficient translator tool
What do you like best about the product?
Smartling is an all-in-one surface for translation where I can consult style guides and glossaries, check context if provided, and check or file queries on the same screen. It's one of the fastest translator tools that I've ever used in terms of being connected to the server (saving my work) and progressing through my work using highly efficient keyboard shortcuts; it's easily one of my favorites, if not my most favorite. I also love that it's easy to keep track of work volumes and translation changes/feedback on the platform itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to translate strings without context, which is not always available. I'm also not a fan of the sequence of strings being so easily changed especially when working with multiple pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of purchase orders and invoicing are additional steps for me, and it's very convenient that I don't have to worry about it with Smartling.
Smartling makes things easy.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the AI Translation and Machine Translation features on Smartling. They provide subject-specific translation and the language and wording are quite acceptable for some fields, such as app localization and academic reports. It helps me save a lot of time in translating and editing as a linguist.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am happy with Smartling for most of the time. However, in some rare cases, I find that when the visual context is of a big size, like a big excel file, it will cause the platform to crash or be unresponsive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The features on smartling can ensure translation quality and accelerate the translation and editing process, such as AI Translation, Machine Translation and the Quality Check feature. I can do more and deliver satisfying outcomes in the same time frame.
Great UX!
What do you like best about the product?
Very efficient translation platform, helpful helpdesk, dedicated PMs
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes hard to differenciate between the different translation workflows
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartling puts companies and translators together in a very efficient way
My Smartling Review as a Translation Resource
What do you like best about the product?
Working online means I don't have to download the working files, hence freeing my local computer's storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartling is not compatible with smartphones and tablets. Therefore, its use is limited only to laptop or desktop computers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Smartling, I can use one account for multiple projects for multiple agencies. So, there's no need to create separate accounts for different clients.
Smartling Online Platform
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most with the Smartling platform is the ability to raise a query directly from the platform. No more spreadsheets or back-and-forth emails! The context window is also very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
As AI is still in its early days, the quality of the output varies and the review can take longer sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of context is always an issue for translators, and the context window addresses that, however it is not always available
A reliable platform that makes translation projects flow smoothly.
What do you like best about the product?
It keeps everything well organized and easy to access. The interface is clear and makes my work faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functions could be more customizable. For example, ensuring consistent access to context or providing additional reference files would be very helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It centralizes all translation work in one place. This saves time, improves consistency, and makes collaboration smoother.
A great experience working with Smartling
What do you like best about the product?
I've had a great experience working with Smartling as a professional linguist. The platform is truly exceptional. What I appreciate most is the user-friendly interface and the visual context feature. Being able to see my translations in real-time on a webpage or in an app is a game-changer for ensuring quality and accuracy. The way Smartling integrates all necessary resources, like translation memory and glossaries, directly into the workspace makes my job much more efficient. The overall workflow is seamless and professional.
Smartling provides a top-tier environment for linguists to deliver their best work.

What do you dislike about the product?
While my overall experience with Smartling has been excellent, I have recently noted a decrease in the volume of assignments, which has made it difficult to maintain a consistent income. I am hopeful this is a temporary issue, as this agency is, without a doubt, the best I have worked with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartling fundamentally solves the problem of inefficient and fragmented translation workflows. By providing a unified, cloud-based platform, it centralizes all the tools and resources a linguist needs, from the CAT tool to translation memory and glossaries. I can manage all my assignments from a single dashboard, eliminating the hassle of juggling multiple files and platforms. The platform’s visual context and integrated resources help me deliver more accurate and context-aware translations. The automation and organized structure save me time on administrative tasks, allowing me to focus on the actual translation. In short, Smartling makes my work more efficient and my final output better.
A great company to work for with good pay, manageable deadlines and nice PM's.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the AI translations that they do. They improve the workflow a lot and is much faster than traditional translation, without it being paid way less, like most other agencies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their review phase is odd. It feels very hard to know what you have done wrong in a given translation as the reviewer is responsible for giving examples, without you easily being able to connect it to each segment in the translation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It improves my workflow with their AI integration. It is not using an LLM or similar (as far as I am aware) but rather some intelligent translation software.
Gets the job done fast, even if some features feel limited
What do you like best about the product?
The editor is clean, loads fast. It allows me to begin working immediately without unnecessary technical friction. It is intuitively designed, with a clean layout that facilitates focus on the text rather than the tool. the in-context preview make UI strings way less guessy.
The reviewer functionality is well thought out. Comments, mentions, and edit suggestions integrate seamlessly into the workflow, enabling efficient collaboration with other linguists and project managers.
QA checks catch the usual landmines (placeholders, numbers, punctuation) without getting in the way of the linguist.
The auto-propagation of identical strings significantly reduces repetitive work and increases overall efficiency.
Glossary suggestions appear promptly, and the concordance search is particularly effective when I need to maintain tonal or stylistic consistency across projects.
Overall, Smartling provides a stable, efficient environment that supports both productivity and linguistic quality.

What do you dislike about the product?
In some cases, the availability of contextual information is limited. Missing screenshots, incomplete metadata, or lack of detailed source notes make it more challenging to deliver precise translations, particularly for UI strings or marketing content.
The absence of an offline working mode can also be limiting, especially when internet connectivity is unstable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By centralizing projects in a single platform, it removes the need for constant file transfers, version control checks, and manual updates. This streamlined process ensures that I am always working with the latest source content and avoids duplication of effort.
Automated QA checks further reduce the risk of errors in formatting, placeholders, and numbers, which in turn shortens review cycles and increases quality.
The platform also facilitates collaboration. Project managers, translators, and reviewers can interact in real time through comments and suggestions, which reduces miscommunication. With context previews Smartling also addresses a common challenge for linguists working with UI and digital content, ensuring that translations are accurate, concise, and user-friendly.
