Smartcat is the operating system for the global translation industry. Our team believes that the world is becoming ever-more connected and interdependent.

Our mission is to speed up the pace at which this happens by building the world’s best Language Delivery Platform. We don’t believe automation will render language professionals obsolete. Instead, we place powerful software into the hands of the millions of people working to globalize their industries, plug them into our global supply network, and enable continuous delivery of multilingual content. We are well on our way, with thousands of customers and 500,000+ freelancers translating together on Smartcat.
