Smartcat Integrations: Overview and Full List
Overview
Smartcat integrates with a wide range of third-party tools and platforms, letting you automate content exchange between your existing systems and Smartcat's translation workflows. Instead of manually exporting and importing files, integrations let Smartcat connect to your content source, translate it, and return the translation — on a schedule or on demand.
Smartcat's integrations fall into two distinct technical systems, and the difference matters for how you set them up and what they do:
-
iHub connectors — connect Smartcat to a content backend (CMS, PIM, eCommerce, file storage, code repository, support tool) to pull source content in, translate it, and push translations back. These support auto-import/export rules and scheduled syncs.
-
Website Translator — translates a published website on the fly using a JavaScript snippet (no content backend connection). Best for marketing sites and no-code website builders.
The marketing list of integrations is also available on the Smartcat website: https://www.smartcat.com/integrations/category/all-integrations/
⚠️ Note on sources: This list is reconciled against the Smartcat codebase (the source of truth for what is technically wired up). Some connectors may be behind feature flags, partner-specific, or not yet listed publicly on the website. Confirm availability for a specific connector before promising it to a customer.
System 1 — iHub Connectors
iHub connectors link Smartcat to a content backend. Smartcat reads source content from the connected system, creates translation projects, and writes the translations back into the system. iHub connectors support:
-
Auto-import / auto-export rules — automatically pull new/changed content and push completed translations back.
-
Scheduled syncs — run the exchange on a recurring schedule.
-
Manual sync — trigger an exchange on demand.

Custom Integration — Remote API Connector
| Integration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Remote API connector | Build your own iHub connector by registering a remote API endpoint (with optional OAuth). Lets you connect a system Smartcat doesn't have a native connector for, including custom locale mapping. |
System 2 — Website Translator
The Website Translator translates a published website on the fly. Instead of connecting to a content backend, you add a small JavaScript snippet to your site; Smartcat then serves AI-translated versions of your pages. This is the right choice for marketing sites and no-code/low-code website builders.
Website Translator integrations work differently from iHub connectors — they do NOT pull content into a Smartcat project for backend exchange. They translate the rendered website and publish localized versions via the snippet.
| Platform | Notes |
|---|---|
| Wix | AI-translate Wix pages via a JavaScript snippet. |
| Webflow | Translate and publish Webflow pages via the snippet. |
| Squarespace | Translate Squarespace content including text, images, and video. |
| WooCommerce | Translate WooCommerce store content. |
| Ghost | Translate Ghost website content. |
| Weebly | Translate Weebly website content. |
| Joomla | Push Joomla site content for translation. |
| Framer | Translate Framer websites. |
| Tumblr | Translate Tumblr content. |
| Instapage / Lander / Leadpages / Unbounce / Pagewiz | Translate landing pages built on these platforms. |
💡 WordPress note: WordPress can be translated two ways — via the WPML plugin (iHub connector) for backend content exchange, or via the Website Translator snippet for on-the-fly site translation. Choose based on whether you need to manage translations inside WordPress (WPML) or just serve translated pages (Website Translator).
Browser Extensions & Desktop Apps
These are real-time / standalone tools rather than backend integrations:
| Tool | Notes |
|---|---|
| Smartcat Translator for Chrome | Translate web content on the fly via the Chrome extension. |
| Smartcat for Windows / macOS / Linux | Desktop apps to translate files and manage localization projects. |
Smartcat API
For anything not covered by a native connector, use the Smartcat open REST API to build a fully custom integration — automated project creation, status tracking, file upload/download, and callback notifications.
- API documentation: https://developers.smartcat.com
(For a no-code custom connector, see the Remote API connector under iHub above.)

-
Click the Set up integration shortcut on the homepage.
Step 2 — Choose your integration
-
Select the integration you want from the list.
-
Follow the on-screen instructions for that platform.
⚠️ Setup steps vary by integration and by system (iHub vs. Website Translator). Each integration will have a dedicated help article with full setup instructions — links will be added below as those articles are created.
