Translation as a managed platform.
Smartcat combines AI translation with translation memory\, glossaries\, workflow and a marketplace of human linguists — so machine output can be routed for human review inside the same system.
That combination is what enterprises need and individuals do not: entry pricing starts at $1\,200 a year and API access only arrives at the $60\,000 tier. Judge it as localisation infrastructure\, not as a translation app.
