Its annual Best Software Awards rank the world’s best software companies and products based on authentic, timely reviews from real users. The recognition in G2’s 2026 Best Software Awards reflects Smartling's continued momentum as enterprises increasingly turn to AI-powered translation infrastructure to scale global content faster and at lower cost.
"Being recognized on G2's Best Software Awards — ranked by real users — is a meaningful validation of what our customers experience every day," said Bryan Murphy, CEO of Smartling. "Our mission is to help global brands break down language barriers at scale, and this recognition reflects the trust our customers place in LanguageAI™ to deliver quality, speed, and results across their entire content operation."
“As buyers increasingly shift to AI-driven research to discover software solutions, being recommended in the ‘answer moment’ must be earned with credible proof,” said Godard Abel, co-founder and CEO at G2. “Our Best Software Awards are grounded in trusted data from authentic customer reviews. They not only give buyers an objective, reliable guide to the products that help teams do their best work, but they’re also the proof AI search platforms rely on when sourcing answers. Congratulations to this year’s winners, including Smartling. Earning a spot on these lists signals real customer impact.”
