A Free Translation Tool for LSPsA completely free and web-based translation software (CAT tool) that handles 100 languages and over 60 file formats used in the industry. Disrupting the current status quo: Offering for free what used to be charged thousands of dollars.

Reuse made easyMaking state-of-the-art web crawling and statistical machine translation available to every translator. No one in the world should translate something that has already been translated by somebody else. Faster turnarounds and higher margins.

Outsourcing in 1-click1-click outsource to the best translator within the tool. We leverage Translated’s T-Rank and 200,000 translators recruited so far to short-cut the industry, making a direct link between the LSP need and the translators’ skills.

What is MateCat

Can’t afford to say no to customersThe competition is fierce – you say no once, you risk losing your customer. Today when an LSP has a request that it cannot manage, it picks up the phone and calls freelancers and LSPs until one is available.

Outsourcing = No marginsRequests come fast and delivery terms are often less than 48 hours. When in rush, LSPs forget about their margins to find an outsourcer quickly.

Peaks vs. QualityMedian LSPs have few translators per language. Finding a freelancer or LSP experienced in a specific field and/or with a specific customer is difficult. Controlling quality is an issue.
