You set the rule once, and the platform applies it consistently everywhere. ### What are the steps in translating medical terms? Three stages: 1) AI translation for a fast, consistent first draft; 2) human review by a subject-matter expert; 3) finalization of feedback. Smartcat supports all three in one platform. ### Can I manage my own terminology? Yes. Build and reuse glossaries for complex terms so translations stay consistent across projects — like a living, project-specific terminology reference. ### How does it handle highly technical terms?
