Remarkable Benefits
Select the right combination of Machine Translation engines and methodologies to achieve the best results and get excited to localize everything.
We were the first language service provider to deploy MT in production at enterprise scale with a customer. Two decades later, we have trained close to 3,000 MT engines, across more topic domains and business use cases than any other LSP. We have processed billions of words using both MT, HT, and MT+HT, which has given us the largest dataset of training-ready, professionally translated, tagged content. That means you can trust our advice, leverage our experience, and expect the best possible training and outcomes for your MT engines. Before incorporating Smairt MT into your localization strategy, be sure to:
- Evaluate your content to make the right quality-centric workflow decisions throughout the process.
- Build the necessary linguistic assets to maximize the MT engine quality, specifically for your content. Need help? We’re ready.
- Incorporate targeted post-editing by your employees or our expert Trainslation Community™ to enhance the translation quality as required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions about Smaⁱrt MT and Machine Translation? Here are the answers to some of the questions our customers frequently ask.
Does Smaⁱrt MT lock companies into using one MT vendor?
No, one of the benefits of using Smaⁱrt MT is the ability to easily change MT engines at any time. MT vendor lock-in is problematic because big tech companies continuously invest in and improve their engines. In addition, each MT engine performs differently by language pair and by domain, so no single MT engine will ever deliver best-in-class performance for all of your needs. Smaⁱrt MT enables you to leverage the best options, with the ultimate ability to be flexible as advancements and improvements become available in the market.
What is the Smaⁱrt MT user experience like?
Customers praise Smaⁱrt MT for its flexibility and ease of use. Administrators can easily manage MT engine selection by language pairs, upload and manage linguistic assets, and manage language glossaries more easily by empowering in-country reviewers to make changes. Deploying to end-users is a breeze as well. Use our purpose-built API for real-time chat translation, giving your users and support reps a seamless experience during interactions. Office workers may access a portal that allows them to copy and paste raw text/documents for instant translations.
Can Smaⁱrt MT help you achieve one brand voice across all digital channels?
Yes, Smaⁱrt MT enables you to stay on brand and keep your terminology consistent across all languages and digital channels. By training Smaⁱrt MT once and using it everywhere, you'll be able to effortlessly deliver consistent Digital Experiences (DX).
What are the benefits of using Machine Translation and Smaⁱrt MT?
Machine Translation technology saves time and money in ways that cannot be achieved by people. Talented human translators deliver unparalleled quality when compared to MT. Smaⁱrt MT increases the quality of Machine Translation by selecting the best MT engine for your content.
Can Machine Translation be used to translate all content?
Yes, Machine Translation can and should be used to localize everything. It is an efficiency tool that has a place in every workflow. It helps translate lower visibility content with the need for little-to-no human intervention. It supports translators handling large volumes of content that require higher quality levels.
What is the difference between Machine Translation and Neural Machine Translation?
Machine Translation is the automatic translation of text from a source language into a target language. Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is a translation technology that uses neural networks when it automatically translates content from a source language into a target language. NMT results in a higher level of accuracy because it translates material within a broader context as opposed to only addressing individual words.
How might a business implement Machine Translation to localize everything and enhance customer satisfaction?
MT engines provide speed and cost efficiencies that human translators cannot achieve. These benefits enable companies to localize material previously not possible to localize. More translations at quality levels that meet customer expectations result in greater customer satisfaction. Airbnb recently started offering Machine Translation on its platform that enables the company to localize everything as homeowners and guests communicate with one another. Smairt MT can provide this type of translation, which is always on. It supports variable quality and greatly enhances customer experiences. In this type of application, MT becomes a feature that extends the functionality of customer apps by adding a translation capability.
