SmartCAT is a translation automation software designed for professional translators, translation agencies, and corporate translation departments. This software stands out due to its ease of use and flexibility, enabling the user to work efficiently and comfortably. It implements various features such as automatic translation, use of incorporated Lingvo dictionaries, management of translation memory, and much more.

Translation work is no longer a solitary task with SmartCAT as it offers real-time collaboration on the same document by several translators. Moreover, with built-in vendor management, users can easily manage and track the work of different vendors. For documents of various formats (PDF, scanned documents, images), SmartCAT provides automatic recognition and conversion (OCR).

Features:
  • Creation and management of glossaries: for better consistency and quality of translation.
  • Built-in quality assurance: to maintain and improve the standards of your translations.
  • Automatic creation of translation memory: if a translator doesn't have existing translation memory, the software automatically takes care of its creation.
  • Post-editing to speed up translation: an automatic translation is proposed for each segment and the translator modifies the result.

With a fresh approach to translation automation, once the translation memory and glossaries are connected, new documents to be translated are analyzed to find matches with segments and sub-segments that correspond to previously translated materials. The program automatically inserts a high-quality human translation, saved in the translation memory from previous documents.

SmartCAT dramatically simplifies and speeds up the translation process by automating and managing multiple translation tasks.

All features and documents are hosted on a remote server in the cloud. No installation is necessary: the program is accessible via a web browser on any device connected to the Internet. Registration is required, as secure authentication is used to protect access to the server and maintain the confidentiality of the user's materials - documents, translation memories, and glossaries.

Supported formats: DOCX, DOC, TXT, PPTX, XLSX, XLS, PDF, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, GIF, DJVU, HTML, TTX, SDLXLIFF, XLF, XLIFF, TMX.

Once the translation is finished, the document can be downloaded as a bilingual file (containing the source text and translation) or a monolingual file (source text only or translation only).
