Smartling + Iterable Integration

The Smartling + Iterable integration lets you easily translate and localize your Iterable templates. Once you've set up the integration, you can start translation jobs from your Smartling account. The requested template is uploaded to Smartling, translated, then automatically imported to your Iterable project according to your project's locale settings.

Smartling supports email, SMS, in-app, and push templates.
