Case Study: Firebirds achieves rapid eLearning translation at lower cost with Smartcat

How Firebirds Wood Fired Grill translated 25 eLearning Courses in three months

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant group in Charlotte, North Carolina, needed to translate a large volume of training content into Spanish for its staff, including 25 eLearning courses, station manuals, job aids, and build sheets. The team also needed accurate handling of Articulate XLIFF files and video subtitles, but initially expected the work would take years using traditional translation methods. Smartcat’s enterprise language AI platform provided an easier way to manage this complex localization effort.

Using Smartcat’s instant AI translations, human subject matter expert reviewers from Smartcat Marketplace, and support for XLIFF and many other file formats, Firebirds built a streamlined AI-human workflow in one shared workspace. In just three months, Smartcat helped Firebirds translate 25 Articulate courses, cut average translation cost to $0.05 per word versus an industry average of $0.16, and achieve 3.2x more content for the same total cost.
