Case Study: Translation for Health achieves rapid, scalable, collaborative translation delivery with Smartcat

Translation for Health - Customer Case Study

Translation for Health, co‑founded by Joshua Velasquez, needed a way to scale from freelance work to running a translation business while handling large, complex projects (a 20,000‑word book and a 190,000‑word machine‑translation post‑editing job spanning 420 documents). They required strong terminology control, consistency across many files, real‑time collaboration among translators and editors, faster client onboarding, and simpler payout processing — so they turned to Smartcat’s cloud‑based translation and project‑management platform.

Smartcat provided a no‑install CAT environment with translation memories, term bases, custom QA, segment commenting, image upload, role assignment and fast TM/TB updating, plus a marketplace and streamlined payouts. The platform enabled project setup in minutes, real‑time collaboration that preserved terminology and consistency, and accelerated delivery (190,000 words finished in 2.5 weeks), while payouts arrived in as little as two hours to two business days—helping Translation for Health scale operations, reduce back‑and‑forth, and win repeat business.
