Smartcat

Smartcat supports a wide variety of file formats including Microsoft Office (DOC, XLS, PPT), Open Office (ODT, ODP), hypertext (HTML, PHP), bilingual interchange formats (XLIFF, SDLXLIFF), desktop publishing (PDF, IDML), localization files (XML, JSON), video (MP4, AVI), audio (MP3, WAV), and subtitle formats (SRT, VTT). Unsupported formats include executable files and scripts.

You can upload files by dragging and dropping them or selecting them when creating a new translation task or project. Smartcat automatically detects the file format. If a file format is not supported, an error message will be displayed, and the file will not be uploaded.

Smartcat offers integrations with various CMS platforms including WordPress (WPML), Drupal, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and Zendesk. These integrations allow for seamless website content translation directly within your CMS.

You can manage team members by adding new members, setting up their roles, and managing workspace users. Smartcat provides guides on adding team members, hiring linguists through the Smartcat Marketplace, and managing user permissions within your workspace.

Smartcat blocks certain file types, such as executable files and scripts, to avoid security risks. Files with extensions like .exe, .js, .bat, and others are restricted from being uploaded. This ensures a secure translation workflow.

Smartcat supports various payment methods including PayPal, Payoneer, wire transfers, and Smartcat payments. You can set up your payment preferences, manage invoices, and handle payment requests directly through the platform. Minimum payout amounts and specific wire transfer details for various currencies are also provided.

Yes, Smartcat supports PDF file translation. PDF files are processed using OCR (Optical Character Recognition), which allows the platform to extract text for translation. However, post-processing may be required to ensure the translated document maintains the original layout.

Smartcat offers several collaboration features including threaded segment comments, comment interactions, revision interactions, and a collaboration guide. These tools help teams work together efficiently on translation projects, providing a structured way to communicate and manage feedback.
