Smartcat AI Actions are automatic intelligent prompts that you can apply to your translation, either in part or for all of it. Action prompts are “Rephrase”, “Shorten”, “Fix punctuation”, “Translate”, and “Fix grammar”.
These AI Action prompts apply the following rules instantaneously to the translation segments that you highlight inside Smartcat Editor:
- Rephrase: Change the phrasal structure of your sentences
- Shorten: Make your translated text shorter
- Fix punctuation: Correct any punctuation mistakes in your translated text
- Translate: Translate the text to the target language
- Fix grammar: Correct any grammatical mistakes in your translated text
You can access AI Actions directly inside Smartcat Editor via the top menu.
