Those taking advantage of Smartcat’s seamless, single-window localization processes will further benefit from full transparency on machine translation usage and analytics. This puts Smartcat users in even more direct control of their MT experience. 

“Smartcat’s translation management system is a dominant and influential element of the localization technology landscape, and we are extremely pleased to enter into a partnership,” says Konstantin Savenkov, Intento’s co-founder and CEO. Savenkov continues, “We believe that MT is the future of localization, and the evolution of these technologies will continue to shape the global business practices through the development of tools such as Smartcat. Intento powers the MT programs of many of the world’s largest companies, increasing quality, speed, and ROI, and leveraging these features through Smartcat’s reliable platform will work to benefit the entire industry dramatically”. 

Teaming up with Intento will bring the collaboration of AI and CI/CD technologies to the next level. Intento’s MT Hub unlocks the full power of modern machine translation technologies, while Smartcat gives robust translation memories, selective post-editing capabilities, flexible document handling, integrations, and CI/CD localization automation”, says Igor Afanasyev, Sr. Product Manager at Smartcat. He continues, “We see this partnership as an opportunity to provide enterprise-quality localization services to agile, fast-moving companies and their growing global customer base. By partnering with Intento we will help language professionals and global companies to improve the quality of the translations and significantly decrease time to market.
