How Smartcat AI chat automates and scales your localization workflows

Overview

The Smartcat AI chat helps you scale localization without building a bigger team or adding more tools. The chat is powered by a multi-agent system of AI Co-workers that handles the setup, coordination, and execution behind the scenes, so growing into new markets and languages does not require proportionally more people, vendors, or operational overhead.

Traditionally, scaling localization means more project managers, more vendor relationships, more handoffs, and more coordination overhead. Every new language, every new content type, and every new market adds manual work. The Smartcat AI chat absorbs that complexity.

Working across multiple languages in parallel

You can run work across multiple languages in parallel, whether you work with 10, 15, or 25 languages at once. When you submit a request for multiple target languages, Smartcat launches workflows for all language pairs simultaneously. It applies the appropriate Translation Memory (TM) and glossaries for each language and delivers results as they become ready.

This is fundamentally different from the traditional approach, where you would set up separate tasks for each language, track progress individually, and assemble results manually. The AI Co-workers coordinate all of this automatically.

Bringing in additional capacity when needed

You can bring in additional capacity when needed and involve expert linguists from Marketplace for specific markets, all within one platform. Whether you need native reviewers for a particular locale, subject-matter experts for technical or legal content, or additional translators to handle a volume spike, Marketplace provides access to vetted professionals that you can engage directly within your workflow.

That means you are not limited by your in-house resources or forced to manage separate vendors and workflows. You do not need to maintain relationships with multiple agencies, negotiate rates separately, onboard freelancers through different tools, or manage different quality processes. Your internal team, Marketplace experts, and AI Co-workers all work together in one place, with shared translation memories, glossaries, and quality settings.

Automated setup and coordination

Smartcat takes care of the setup and coordination behind the scenes, so you do not have to manage everything manually. When you describe what you need in the chat, the AI Co-workers determine the best workflow, create and configure the project, apply the right linguistic assets, and move work through each stage, from file preparation through translation to delivery.

• If a workflow involves review steps, Smartcat assigns reviewers

• If your Translation Memory has high matches, those are applied automatically

• If glossary terms are relevant, they are enforced

All of this happens without manual configuration at each step.

You can stay focused on the outcome while Smartcat handles the process. Instead of spending your time on project setup, file routing, status tracking, and vendor coordination, you define the goal and the AI Co-workers figure out the most efficient path to get there.

Getting started

Describe what you want to do in the chat, and Smartcat gets it done. For example:

• "Translate these files into 15 languages"

• "Localize this content for the European market"

Smartcat takes it from there.
