Cooperation
REAL collaboration
All translators working on a project can work in the CAT editor at the same time without affecting anyone's progress. Everyone has access to the constantly updated translation resources and the editor can review and edit the translated segments once they are confirmed, resulting in higher quality in much less time.

No messy cross-editing
The intelligent thread locking mechanism prevents project members from modifying another member's work while it is in progress. This means that the segment you are currently working on is not accessible to other translators or editors until you confirm it.

communication in context
Segment comments allow project managers to leave comments for specific segments and translators to ask questions in the right context. For general and administrative questions, translators and editors can communicate with the project manager via the platform's main chat.

pre-translation
You can set pre-populated translated segments to your preferred combination of translation memory and machine translation suggestions. Adjust the settings to only pre-translate and/or confirm matches above a certain percentage or TMs and the segments will be filled in before the translation process starts.
The start →
context
Provide your translators with screenshots or other relevant images by adding them to segments - this can help avoid many questions. In addition, reference fields are available for some file formats, e.g. B. String keys for resource files and timecodes for subtitles.

automated quality assurance
Smartcat's QA engine checks your translations for typos, missing periods, incorrect capitalization and other possible errors. You can configure it depending on the content you are translating and mark certain types of errors as critical. Focus on the translation while the QA engine accompanies you to ensure your translation is error-free.

placeholder
You don't have to worry about variables, serial numbers or email addresses being accidentally tampered with during translation. By using placeholders, you can protect non-translatable text elements from editing to ensure that they are safely transferred from the original document to the translation.
