Smartcat is a powerful, cloud-based translation platform that supports managing and translating multiple documents at once. It's particularly popular among professional translators and teams because of its collaborative features, translation memory, and project management tools. While Smartcat is primarily web-based, it also offers integrations and desktop workflows that can be used on Windows computers.
Running on Windows
- Web-based platform: Since Smartcat is cloud-based, you don’t need to install any software on Windows.
- Desktop workflows: You can download your files, upload them to Smartcat via the browser, and then download the translations.
- Offline Work: For offline editing, you can export files, work locally, and re-upload if needed.
Additional Tips
- For large projects, consider breaking them into smaller batches.
- Use free machine translation for initial drafts; then, review and edit.
- Manage team collaboration if working with multiple translators.
