## How Smartcat turns image translation into reusable visual localization workflows

### Ingest visual content from real business workflows

Bring screenshots, banners, product visuals, and other image-based content into Smartcat where localization work already happens, without recreating text manually.

### Apply approved terminology and translation memory from the start

Smartcat uses your glossaries, translation memory, and AI context so image-based translations align with brand, product, and regional language requirements.

### Route visual translations to reviewers who own quality

Marketing, localization, product, and regional teams can review image-based translations in one Smartcat workflow before anything is approved, reused, or published.

### Run multilingual QA before assets go live

Check wording, consistency, terminology, and final edits across languages so visual assets are ready for campaigns, product experiences, support, and regulated content.

### Store approved visual copy as reusable multilingual assets

Save validated translations in Smartcat so future screenshots, ads, and image-based content can launch faster from approved reusable assets instead of starting over.

Start with image translation. Standardize visual localization next.

Use Smartcat to bring image-based content into one workflow with approved terminology, reviewer routing, multilingual QA, and reusable approved assets across teams and markets.
