Challenge
ClassPass localizes its content for marketing, legal, product development, and customer experience. Their lean localization team had one big question, “How can we reduce the time spent on execution and increase the time spent on localization strategy?”
Solution
Smartling's connectors like Figma, Zendesk, GitHub, Contentful, and HubSpot streamlined ClassPass's localization process significantly. After implementing Smartling and these connectors, the same translation process was reduced from nine steps to five, taking only one hour compared to three and a half before.
By utilizing Smartling's Visual Context tool, translators gained a better understanding of content context, leading to more efficient adaptations. ClassPass’ localization team no longer needs to manually create job files, add instructions, provide visual references, copy-paste strings into Excel, and deliver to the final target. All of these improvements mean that the team can focus on strategic tasks like app and web flow optimization and user experience enhancement.
