Smartling is a full translation management platform, not just a translation engine. While Google Translate and DeepL provide raw machine translation, Smartling adds automated workflows, human review steps, brand-specific glossaries, translation memory, quality assurance, and 50+ integrations. The AI Hub lets you choose your preferred AI provider and enhance output with RAG-based context from your linguistic assets.
Smartling uses a tiered SaaS model with Core and Enterprise plans, but pricing is not publicly listed. Costs depend on your translation volume, number of languages, content types, and whether you use Smartling Language Services (human translators) or bring your own. Contact Smartling sales for a custom quote. The platform includes tools to track and forecast localization spend.
Yes. Smartling integrates with CI/CD pipelines and code repositories like GitHub and Bitbucket. New content is automatically detected, routed through translation workflows, and published without manual intervention. The MCP server integration also lets developers access translation capabilities directly from their AI development tools.
Smartling includes automatic hallucination detection that flags potential LLM errors in AI-generated translations. When hallucinations are detected, affected content is automatically routed to an alternative translation workflow — typically human review — to prevent incorrect translations from reaching production.
Yes. Smartling holds SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST, HIPAA, PCI DSS Level 1, and ISO certifications. The platform offers customizable DPAs for GDPR compliance. Brands in healthcare, finance, and insurance — including State Farm — use Smartling for production localization.
