Smartling Employee Perspectives
The company spent 2025 building infrastructure that allows customers to deploy AI at scale. Throughout the year, Smartling released:
- AI Hub: Allows customers to choose their AI provider. The Hub includes prompt tooling with retrieval-augmented generation functionality, enabling LLMs to dynamically retrieve the most relevant linguistic assets at the moment of translation.
- AI Post-Editing Agent: Automatically checks grammar, tone, and semantic accuracy, enriches translations with linguistic assets, and uses AI-Enhanced Glossary Term Insertion to ensure grammatically correct term usage.
- Automatic hallucination detection: Automatically flags potential LLM hallucinations and mitigates risk by routing impacted content to an alternative translation workflow.
- MCP server integration: Connects Smartling to AI assistants, enabling engineers to access translation capabilities within their existing developer environments or chat tool interfaces.
- Expanded AI Translation solutions: Complete suite of AI translation solutions to meet the turnaround time, quality, and budget needs for all use cases.
These updates reflect a shift in AI deployment from pilots to production, as organizations focus on integrating LLMs into existing stacks and establishing governance around AI usage.
To build on this momentum, in April 2026 Smartling will launch LQA Agent, delivering instant quality evaluations across more content, faster, and aligned with human judgment to enable AI translation at scale. By lowering the cost and manual effort required for LQA, the solution makes quality review more accessible and reduces the burden on human reviewers.
