The allocation process is well-organized.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In-context review
It's great to be able to focus solely on the translation work.
What do you like best about the product?
As a freelance translator, constantly exchanging emails with agency project managers to complete a single job is always exhausting. Attaching and sending the completed translation files one by one is especially so. While many agencies have recently systematized and automated this entire process, I find Smartling to be the most optimized for translators. For web-based CAT tools, it not only handles term bases and translation memory searches but also provides real-time previews of webpage files, Word documents, and PowerPoint files for context verification. It also excels with auxiliary features like highlighting related sentences, making it highly satisfying to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it doesn't happen often, occasionally when all translators within a team decline a specific task in the system and the project manager fails to notice in time, work tends to pile up on a small number of translators. If even those few translators decline the work, the tasks do move to the “Available to Accept” menu item so any translator can freely claim them. However, this process feels somewhat clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartling is helping me quickly and efficiently handle translation work for other clients. Thanks to Smartling's CAT tool, I'm managing translation projects more effectively than usual.
OK but I can't help feeling there's too much focus on AI and profit rather than quality translation
What do you like best about the product?
Fair, quick pay and the software is mostly intuitive
What do you dislike about the product?
They seem very keen to squeeze translators to do quick post-editing of AI, which cannot possibly lead to a good end-product.

Question not relevant to me as a translator - Smartling helps me pay my bills
All-round efficient platform for translators
What do you like best about the product?
I have been working as their translator for quite some time. The platform is clean, easy to use, and packed with helpful features such as automatic glossary checking and a solid AI engine, while still remaining uncluttered. Payments are automatic and seamless—probably the best payment system in the industry.
What do you dislike about the product?
The language I translate into, Thai, is not fully supported by the platform, as it erroneously flags a large number of Thai sentences as containing spelling errors. This is merely an inconvenience since I can easily ignore these alerts. Otherwise, there are no real downsides to working with Smartling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartling streamlines the entire translation workflow by providing an integrated platform with automated quality checks, glossary enforcement, and AI support. This reduces manual review time and helps maintain consistency across projects. The automated payment system also eliminates administrative work, ensuring I can focus entirely on translation without worrying about invoicing or follow-ups.
Smartling is easy to use and more efficient than Trados
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of useful filters and translation offered by AI is helpful sometimes
What do you dislike about the product?
It works slowly with big files. I would ask managers to break big files to speed up the translation process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartling offeres a prompt reply from the client in case I need to clarify the source text.
Very useful CAT Tool
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use (glossary, filter, TM, issue feature), invoicing/invoice overview
What do you dislike about the product?
not much to complain about, it's the best CAT tool I worked with so far
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working as a translator, using Smartling as a CAT tool.
A delightful working experience
What do you like best about the product?
I've been working with Smartling for 8 years and have only good things to say. The Language Services team is lovely to communicate with and highly professional, while the platform has always proved very functional, intuitive and well-conceived. The software is plug-and-play, which streamlines the translation process, and the support team is always reactive and helpful. I've had the chance to collaborate with a pool of talented and seasoned linguists along the way and the whole experience is perfect balance for me as a freelancer.
What do you dislike about the product?
In 8 years I have not run into anything to dislike about Smartling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a freelancer Smartling provides an all-inclusive package of translation tasks + efficient software + accounting which greatly streamlines my work as a freelancer.
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.
