Localize vs. Smartling

Localized fits perfectly for clients who would love to have their website localized. It offers great plugins and integrations with popular content management systems and serves as a translation management system for your website. Setup is rather easy, however, more complex setups would require a more technical approach which is not always possible.

Smartling is great because I can use the Figma plugin to pull already translated strings into my project. If I need translations for the project, I can submit these strings from within and continue working on the next ask of the day. We also have great dev workflows built in: we submit one PR and a Smartling ticket, then, once the ticket is complete, run a simple command to pull in translated strings and refresh the project in a matter of seconds.

• Super easy integration - it takes one minute to add and configure the Localize WordPress plugin.
• Convenient Admin - it is straight forward to add a project, get the API key and start adding translations.
• Front End display - the switch between language is intuitive and efficient. It loads all languages super fast.

• We look forward to seeing more in-depth reporting and user management features specifically for translation agencies that handle multiple client accounts

I have never seen a software company working so diligently to make improvements in a constant and consistent way. Their tool has truly transformed and made a great impact to localization industry

Very simple to use website.

I do think Smartling has a very high usability. It is easy to access, straightforward in what it can do and has a user-friendly design. It is also highly adaptable, though I wish there was a way to set more keyboard shortcuts for functionalities where they are not currently available.

I always receive timely and pleasant support from their Help Desk!

Frankly, we don't know what other translation management systems are out there, so we can't comment on how they compare to Localize.

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.

• Localize was setup and running on 4 websites in under 8 weeks.
• Project was delivered well under budget with minimal problems.

• We can think in English and know that Smartling can localize and translate for the rest of the world's markets. This probably would have taken weeks, or at least a month, before Smartling, and now we can have translated strings for 150+ markets in a matter of a week.
