Our take
Smartling leverages a network of professional translators and AI translation software to enable companies to connect locally with audiences anywhere, through any channel. Over the last few years, the company has emerged as a real market leader.
The appeal is obvious: since a company’s online presence is unlimited by geography, it shouldn’t be limited by language. The advantage of an offering like Smartling is that it doesn’t just loosely translate meaning like a browser would, but can also translate impact. As fast growth companies scale internationally and bring their brand message to new markets, this kind of service can prove crucial.
The roll call of customers is proof of the startup's success, with the likes of Shopify, Lyft, Tinder, Samsung, H&M, Mastercard, and plenty of others all taking advantage of its platform. Smartling has raised substantial funding and achieved a strong rate of growth which is still accelerating - all boding well for its future.
