User Testimonials
	Amazon Translate	Smartling
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS I use Amazon Translate plug-in in my regular translation work. I realized that it does better in marketing and general texts. It still suffers from some shortcomings when it comes to the specific linguistic feature of Arabic. It makes some grammatical mistakes. It does not sound natural in some instances because of using uncommon word combinations. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Smartling Smartling is great for a company or team that doesn't have the resources to translate multiple properties in-house. It automates the process and makes it much more manageable. If you have a large website that is managed by one local team and not a global team, Smartling is for you.

Pros	Amazon AWS Medical texts Neural machine translation General texts Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Smartling Website translation without the need to build separate websites for additional locales Translation of Indesign Documents (ingests text only) without having extract text - simply upload an idml file and download the translated idml file Anja Jones Managing Director Read full review
Cons	Amazon AWS Arabic syntax Collocations Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Smartling Perhaps a global replacement feature for the translation management system (TMS)? Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS I use Google Translate and Amazon Translate. I find them both helpful. What I like more about Amazon Translate is that I can control the privacy of my files. The text entered into Google Translate enters its database and might be used for further improvement of their service; however, I do not like exposing the data of my clients to a third party. Therefore, I find Amazon Translate wins by large in this regard. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Smartling We prefer Smartling as an online CAT tool because it is easy to use and we can onboard new translators quickly without lengthy training cycles. Our customers like Smartling because they can manage all of their translation needs (website, apps, business documents) through one single platform, share style guides, glossaries and translation memory and save on translation cost over time.
