Welcome to Smartcat

Smartcat is an AI-driven translation and content management platform that streamlines creating and localizing content for global audiences. Businesses and teams trust Smartcat to handle various file formats efficiently, collaborate across workflows, and integrate translation into existing processes. Here, we'll cover how the basics of how Smartcat works, focusing on its most impactful features and visual highlights.

When entering Smartcat, users first encounter the workspace dashboard, which serves as the central hub. From here, starting a new translation project is straightforward. Supported file types include documents, PowerPoint presentations, videos, SCORM files, HTML, code files, and more. Smartcat’s broad compatibility removes technical barriers, allowing users to focus on content instead of formatting challenges. The Home workspace organizes all projects and templates, letting users access ongoing work or launch new projects efficiently. Navigation is intuitive; templates offer a quick way to begin, while the sidebar and settings provide deeper customization for different workflow needs

You can easily add team members and work with third party vendors as well. Smartcat works best with collaborators!

Smartcat projects revolve around translating content from a source language into multiple target languages. The process usually begins with an AI-powered translation, ensuring fast and accurate results. Teams can then adjust workflows by adding review, editing, or approval steps, customizing the process to fit organizational needs.

The Smartcat editor delivers a collaborative environment enriched by AI-powered tools. Within the editor, users view the source file and its translation side by side. Additional previews let users check the appearance of final outputs, whether in document or other formats. This setup reduces miscommunication and increases translation accuracy, supporting feedback and collaboration in real time.

Beyond simple document translation, Smartcat features robust learning content creation. The platform lets users build SCORM-compliant courses from existing materials, specify learning outcomes, and export ready-to-upload courses for Learning Management Systems. The configuration wizard makes this process fast, accessible, and scalable for organizations expanding their training offerings.

Smartcat natively integrates with a wide range of third-party tools, making it ideal for software teams, marketers, and learning developers. These integrations ensure translation updates flow automatically and let users work in their preferred environments while leveraging Smartcat’s translation capabilities, improving collaboration across departments.

Smartcat’s value lies in its ease-of-use, automation, and flexibility. By providing a unified, collaborative platform that works with many file types and connects to essential business tools, Smartcat empowers global teams to produce localized content faster and more effectively.
