Case Study: Butterfly Network achieves rapid localization of 75,000 words in 10 days with Smartling

Butterfly Network - Customer Case Study

Butterfly Network, the company behind a $2,000 handheld ultrasound built on a semiconductor chip, needed to rapidly localize its product UI and supporting documentation to meet strict medical and regulatory standards. After unsatisfactory results with a previous vendor, the team faced a six-week launch deadline and required high-quality medical translations, robust engineering integrations to keep weekly software releases, and clear, responsive vendor support and visibility.

Partnering with Smartling, Butterfly used its Translation Management platform, API and Zendesk integrations, visual-context tools, and living glossaries to streamline workflows and ensure accuracy. Smartling delivered 75,000 words in 10 days, enabled expansion into 13 markets within six months, translated over one million words in a year, consistently met deadlines, and helped drive double-digit international revenue growth.
