What do you like best about Smartcat?

It takes what would have taken months with a third-party consultant, only minutes to translate an entire eLearning course. Not to mention the cost savings associated with using this platform compared to a consultant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

I wish the glossary would translate the words automatically and then highlight it in yellow aftwerwards to notify you of the change. I believe this would be much more efficient than going through each individual segment. Additionally, in the post-editing phase, I would like to see an option where you can look up a word and select all the appear in each segment, type in the correct translation, and translate all at once. Using individuals internally who are not as familiar with the platform in the post-editing phase, this becomes challenging to navigate. If they had this option to do it just once, it would be extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartcat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cut down significantly on costs for translating courses and materials for other regions within out organization. It has completely taken away the need to bring in outside consultants to assit with the translation of courses and materials. This was significantly more in terms of cost and time. We not have the capacity to translate more, reaching more of the global regions with our materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

The platform is easy and intuitive, you can set up small projects in a few seconds but also get the option to set up more advanced settings if required. TMs integration works like a charm. Machine Translation is also fairly good, although paid one is almost spotless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

The only thing I really dislike is not being able to turn off warnings. My language pairs are Portuguese and Spanish, so sometimes the wording will be similar or actually the same and having to turn off manually the warnings so I can proceed is very tiring. Of course it's not a major issue, just a nuisance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartcat solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work for a company that has me translating all kinds of things, from small projects to 30k+ projects and Smartcat is helpful for both. I used to have to translate on my own which is fine but time-consuming, when simpler sentences could've been translated already and Smartcat's machine translation also helped with that, making me more productive and my work less tiring.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

Smartcat offers an excellent cat tool at no cost, and help is available if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

When doing translation jobs with smartcat we are invited to use Payoneer as a payment system, and payoneer is much worse in terms of service than any other payment system I know. They simply keep the money forever "in review".Never choose to use payoneer if you work with smartcat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smartcat:

Consider comparing the translations draft with another CAT tool or MT tool to increase your options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartcat solving and how is that benefiting you?

The CAT tools quality is comparable to other CAT or MT systems, and it comes at no cost, or when you wish for priority service, you can buy it by volume of pages to translate, not as a subscription or annual payment. Sometimes a file may cause a problem, but in this case the customer service helps almost immediately. Smartcat is very useful for my students, too, since I teach translation.
