How does AI translation software work?

Smartcat’s platform turns content in any format into any language, from documents to videos to complex websites and software by simply uploading your content to the platform and letting AI translate for you. Once your translation is complete, you have the opportunity to review and edit your translation directly within the platform.

Smartcat’s AI Agent continuously learn from an organization’s own people, brand guidelines, rules, and feedback, allowing marketing, L&D, product, and engineering teams to simultaneously create, translate, and localize content with full control and consistency. 

Modern translation technology can also include AI translation, which quickly generates drafts in your target language — a capability that is fueling a market expected to hit roughly US$9.9 billion by 2025.[1] You can then accept these drafts, make your own edits, or ask a human reviewer to polish the content further.
