Frequently Asked Questions

What are Smartcat AI Agents?

Smartcat AI Agents are domain-specific, expert-enabled AI systems designed to handle complex content workflows, like software localization and technical translations. Unlike generic AI tools, Smartcat’s agents are trained on real-world translation tasks, continuously learn from human feedback, and adapt to your tone, glossary, and formatting standards.

How does Smartcat ensure high-quality translations?

Smartcat uses adaptive AI with a continuous learning loop that improves with every project. Reviewers from your team or the Smartcat Marketplace train the agent by reviewing and correcting translations. The AI then uses these corrections to refine future outputs, resulting in better terminology consistency and faster turnaround with each cycle.

What problems is the theory of technical translation concerned with?

The theory of technical translation is concerned with ensuring accuracy, consistency, and clarity across languages for specialized content. This includes preserving the meaning of terminology, maintaining formatting in documents like schematics, and adapting content for local standards. Smartcat's AI platform is designed to solve these exact problems by automating workflows, using glossaries and translation memories, and integrating QA checks.

Which file formats does Smartcat support for software localization?

Smartcat supports over 80 file formats, ensuring we can handle any technical proposal translation project. This includes all major UI and software development formats such as:

  • JSON, XML, YAML

  • RESX, STRINGS, PO, XLIFF

  • CSV, Excel, and more

Can Smartcat integrate with our dev tools and CI/CD pipeline?

Yes. Smartcat offers pre-built integrations with popular tools like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Figma. You can also connect your own environment via API. This lets you localize continuously without disrupting development cycles.

How secure is the Smartcat platform?

Smartcat is SOC II certified and GDPR compliant. All content is encrypted at rest and in transit. Role-based access controls let you define who can view, edit, or publish content. This level of security is critical for software teams handling proprietary code and regulated technical content.

Can Smartcat localize both UI elements and technical documentation?

Absolutely. The platform is designed for both UI strings and extensive documentation. This is vital for maintaining consistency across all customer-facing content when you need to translate technical specifications to German or other languages.

What industries benefit from Smartcat AI Agents?

Smartcat serves a wide range of industries, including SaaS, e-learning, healthcare, manufacturing, and legal tech. Our AI agents are particularly well-suited for industries that require frequent UI updates, multilingual documentation, or compliance-driven content workflows.
