    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.

    Anything that requires narration is a great use case. Although WellSaid does a great job of creating more realistic sounding voices, its still not perfect if you are looking for a very authentic sounding voiceover.

    Usability
    Smartling
    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    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.

    Return on Investment
    Smartling
    • 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.

    • drastically cut down on time required to create courses
    • making changes to scripts is much faster than before
    • some people are still a little bothered by the "robotic" sound at times
