"Great Filters and Auto-Advance, But Fuzzy Edits Need Clarity and Delays in completion are annoying"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Smartcat?

The filters and search tools, the auto advance from field to field Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

Not a fan of "fuzzy edits" - the fuzziness should be explained and there are long delays at times for the completion of a document, the done button takes time to activate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Contextual Preview, but Website Translation Needs Maturity for Large Sites"
3/5
What do you like best about Smartcat?

Smartcat makes it possible to have a functional preview mode that allows to translate with context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

While it may work well for file translation, the website translation feature still doesn’t feel mature enough for large websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kelsie Kleven of Smartcat

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback! We're glad to hear the preview mode is helping your team translate with better context, especially for e-learning content and exams where accuracy really matters.

We also appreciate you flagging the website translation experience for larger sites. That's valuable input, and we'd love to learn more about the specific challenges you're running into so we can pass it along to our product team and see how we can improve. Feel free to reach out to your account manager or our support team at support@smartcat.com whenever you have a moment.

Thanks again for being a Smartcat user and for helping us get better!
