Case Study: Canva achieves faster, higher-quality design localization with Smartling

Canva localizes designs in hours instead of weeks with Smartling

Canva, a design platform with over 220 million users, faced significant operational complexity in its design localization process. Manually exporting, translating, and reimporting content was time-consuming and error-prone. While their initial AI tool was popular, it did not meet the quality needs of enterprise users requiring human-reviewed translations for high-value content. To address this, Canva integrated with its translation management platform vendor, Smartling.

The solution implemented with Smartling streamlined the translation process, allowing users to select content and a target language to begin translations instantly. This integration, leveraging translation memory and approved terminology, drastically reduced Canva's own translation time and costs. Localization that once took weeks was completed in hours, saving significant resources and improving team productivity. The results included a faster time to market, considerable cost savings, and improved translation quality through Smartling's various translation options.
