Rather than spend hours searching for and recruiting the right human translators for your projects, you can automate the process with Smartcat AI-powered linguist matching.
This feature enables you to identify and hire a linguist for your needs that has the most suitable combination of languages, subject matter expertise, reviews, rates, and availability in seconds.
How the Smartcat AI Matching algorithm works
Smartcat has developed a formula that takes numerous properties of a linguist on Smartcat Marketplace into account. These include:
- Translation services offered
- Working language pairs
- Monetary rates
- Availability – a linguist can manage their calendar, including displaying their working hours and out of office periods
- Reviews for work with other Smartcat clients
- Content-based matching – see below for more
Smartcat ranks Marketplace linguists based on an aggregate score of all these elements combined and provides a list of the best matches in seconds.
Content-based matching
Smartcat uses a machine learning-based algorithm that analyzes translation content and creates “fingerprints” for each based on meaning and stores this information in a database.
When you activate Smartcat AI Matching to hire a linguist for your translation, Smartcat automatically finds the closest matches to your content in this fingerprint database and identifies the linguist(s) who worked on the corresponding translations.
At the same time, Smartcat AI Matching also checks each linguist's reviews and subject matter expertise to gauge their level of quality and professionalism.
The result is a near-instantaneous list of best-match linguists for you to consider hiring to work on your own translations, making the hiring process faster and easier, and significantly improving the likelihood of hiring a high-quality, reliable translator.
