Proven talent and flexible solutions for every translation need

The Problem With Traditional Language Service Providers

Today’s brands continuously optimize content in their primary language with supreme attention to detail. However, traditional translation agencies have kept businesses from understanding and controlling their content in secondary languages with the same quality, cadence, and cost. Lacking the ability to measure their own supply chain, these agencies rely on customer-reported errors for subjective quality control and fail to offer predictable turnaround times.

Smartling Language Services: A Data-Driven Approach to Professional Translation

Backed by a community of professional translators curated across 150 language pairs and 50 industry verticals, Smartling Language Services is a one-stop solution for scaling a translation program from a single document to translating millions of words a month. Using a data-driven approach, Smartling has created a single, objective measure of translation quality, offering unparalleled predictability around turnaround times and prepaid plans that help to manage and reduce translation budgets by up to 25%.

Set your schedule.
Smartling ensures predictable translation turnarounds with up to a 99.98% on-time guarantee.

Most translation agencies dictate timelines based on their capacity and availability. Customers have no visibility into internal processes and receive no assurances on exact delivery dates. Smartling understands that translation should fit your timeline — not the other way around. We provide predictable turnarounds with up to a 99.98% on-time guarantee to make sure you meet your business goals. Smartling also offers complete visibility into who exactly is performing your translations, enabling effortless communication with suppliers.

Access top talent.
Smartling continuously measures the quality of its translators, standing behind it with a 99% guarantee.

Most translation agencies take a reactive approach to quality, leaving customers with little confidence in the initial output and only handling errors after the fact. Smartling takes a data-driven approach. All translations receive a Quality Confidence Score™ (QCS). This proprietary metric is derived from 75 different data points. With up to a 99% guarantee, you can trust that your translations are just as elegant as their source content. With upfront testing and only a 10% pass rate, Smartling’s translators are hand-selected and continuously vetted professionals, with experience using our translation technologies.

Maximize your budget.
Smartling eliminates unnecessary fees and minimums, providing up to a 25% volume discount.

Most translation agencies pad profit margins by outsourcing to intermediary agencies and offsetting the cost of their operating overheads with unnecessary fees. We understand that your translation budget won’t always increase as quickly as the demand for global content. With Smartling, you benefit from up to 25% savings on language services via direct access to translators and volume discounts. The savings we generate by eliminating project management fees and leveraging highly-automated workflows are passed directly to our customers.
