Scaling localization without scaling your team

Smartcat AI helps you scale localization without building a bigger team or adding more tools. It is designed so that growing into new markets and languages does not require proportionally more people, vendors, or operational overhead.

With Smartcat AI, you can run work across multiple languages in parallel — whether you are working with 10, 15, or 25 languages at once. Instead of processing languages one by one or coordinating separate workstreams for each market, Smartcat AI handles all language pairs simultaneously. Adding more languages does not mean adding more manual effort.

Bringing in additional capacity when needed

You can also bring in additional capacity when needed and involve expert linguists from Smartcat Marketplace for specific markets — all within one platform. Whether you need native reviewers for a particular locale, subject-matter experts for technical content, or additional translators to handle a volume spike, Smartcat Marketplace provides access to vetted professionals you can engage directly from 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 onboard external teams through different tools, set up separate projects for outsourced work, or juggle multiple vendor portals. Everything — your internal team, marketplace experts, and AI agents — works together in one place with shared context, translation memories, and quality settings.

Automated setup and coordination

At the same time, Smartcat AI takes care of the setup and coordination behind the scenes, so you do not have to manage everything manually. It selects the appropriate workflow, creates and configures projects, assigns the right resources, applies your translation memories and glossaries, and moves work through each stage — from file preparation through translation to final delivery.

You can stay focused on the outcome, while the system handles the process. Instead of spending time on project setup, file routing, and status tracking, you define the goal and Smartcat AI figures out the most efficient way to get it done. Just tell Smartcat AI what you want to do, and it will get it done.

Your usual tools and workflows are still here

If you have been using Smartcat and are wondering where your familiar tools and workflows went — they are still here. Nothing has been removed or replaced. Your usual tools and workflows have just been simplified.

Instead of switching between different tools and forms, you can now run the same workflows through chat or shortcuts. They use the same setups you are used to, including your templates and configurations. Your translation memories, glossaries, project templates, workflow settings, and quality configurations all carry over — Smartcat AI uses them automatically when processing your requests.

Choose your level of control

Smartcat AI can take care of the setup for you — selecting the right workflow, applying your existing templates, and moving work forward without manual intervention. But you can also stay in control and adjust things step by step if you prefer. You can review and modify any setting before Smartcat AI proceeds, or let it handle everything end to end. The choice is yours on every task.

Shortcuts for advanced and custom setups

If you are working with more advanced or custom setups — such as specific review steps, multi-stage workflows, specialized quality requirements, or complex project configurations — just use the relevant shortcut in the chat interface. Shortcuts take you to the right place with everything pre-configured, so you do not need to navigate through multiple screens or manually recreate your usual setup. Pick the shortcut that matches your task and start working immediately.
