SYSTEM Cited by 1 source

Smartling

Smartling is a translation management system (TMS). In Atlassian's localization architecture, it hosts the human-review stage after AI pretranslation: professional translators review and approve every draft before it is released. The system is therefore a release-control boundary, not merely a repository for translated strings.

Role in the Atlassian pipeline

context-rich AI draft → Smartling translator review → approved translation → release
                         └── edits become feedback for later AI drafts

Atlassian sends drafts from both its internal AI translation system and an external AI vendor hub through the same Smartling approval step. This converges multiple drafting paths on one quality authority and ensures that no string ships without a translator's sign-off.
