Is your AI translation enterprise-ready? Here's what buyers say on G2.

AI has made translation faster than ever. What's harder to tell from a demo is whether that speed holds up once a real team is running real content through it every day, across every market, for months at a time. That's the question G2 answers each quarter, through reviews from the people actually doing that work.

G2’s Fall 2026 reports are in. Smartling earned 41 badges this quarter and landed in the top 3 across 40 separate reports spanning Translation Management, Website Translation Tools, and Localization, with 23 of those at #1.

The clearest movement this quarter: the Momentum Grid® Report for Website Translation Tools was recognized as #1, and Smartling's enterprise standing across Europe got stronger, with the Enterprise Europe and Enterprise EMEA Regional Grid® Reports for Translation Management both climbing to the top spot. The broader Enterprise Grid® Report for Translation Management is on the same path, moving from #3 to #2 this quarter.

These results track with what customers say matters most: getting to market faster, without paying more to get there. That's the idea behind product investments like LQA Agent, which automates quality scoring so review cycles shrink, and Auto Select LLM, which routes content to the right model automatically instead of leaving it to trial and error. The goal isn't just faster translation: it's translation that's fast enough to matter and still holds up once it's live in market.

How G2 calculates these scores

G2 reaches more than 100 million software buyers a year and is one of the most trusted peer-review marketplaces in the industry. Its quarterly Grid® reports score vendors on two things: customer satisfaction, pulled from verified reviews, and market presence, based on company scale and momentum. The specialty indices, like Usability, Implementation, Results, and Relationship, isolate one dimension at a time. A #1 on the Implementation Index specifically reflects how fast people get up and running and how they rate onboarding, apart from everything else.

What Smartling reviews say

“I use Smartling as our main platform for translations, and I really enjoy the automation it provides to reduce the time for translation delivery. The all-in-one platform is easily managed, which is a big plus for our company. I also appreciate the progressing quality of the translations. It's fantastic that Smartling enables us to translate marketing assets into 49 global languages, significantly saving us time in the translation turnaround process. Another thing I really like is the support system – our Customer Success manager is always around to help answer any questions, and the support team is amazing. Additionally, the setup process was overall very quick and easy, despite the size of our company.” - Ekaterina K., Marketing Operation Lead

“You can search by “exact match” as well as other fields tailored to the project parameters. The history feature also makes it easy to track which step went wrong, which helps provide more accurate feedback on the workflow.” - Verified User in Computer Games

“I really enjoy Smartling because it is simple to use and quite intuitive. I use it on a daily basis for my translation work. The ability to access my clients' global glossary and translate according to their preference is a huge help. I also appreciate the MTPE translation feature, although my role now involves reviewing to ensure accuracy. The issue reporting service is great, as it allows me to send questions directly to clients for clarification, which is valuable for understanding the source language better. Smartling's support is helpful in guiding me to use the tool more efficiently, and the feature to claim jobs only when I have the time to work on them is practical. The initial setup was very easy, and while it took a few months to become fully familiar, using the tool is straightforward.” - Alain C., Spécialiste en communications
