Case Study: Kollective achieves rapid multilingual expansion with Smartling's Global Delivery Network

Rapidly expanding into new languages

Kollective, an enterprise content-delivery platform installed on 5.3 million devices that helps large companies distribute bandwidth‑heavy content like live video and software updates, planned to expand into Asia Pacific and Europe. To do so it needed a standalone infrastructure to turn its English marketing site into local-language sites — addressing who would manage translations, what tools to use, where translated content would be hosted, how to review copy, and how quickly launches could happen.

Kollective partnered with Smartling and used its Global Delivery Network to scale sites into new languages with minimal developer effort, automated translation pipelines, and a visual WYSIWYG context for translators. The approach yielded fast rollouts and high quality — Smartling’s linguists achieved a 1.12% internal correction rate for the Japanese site — and Platinum Support helped Kollective take on additional languages (French next) without adding headcount.
