Overview

Smartling's Global Delivery Network (GDN) is a cloud-based translation proxy solution designed to streamline the localization of websites and web applications. By integrating seamlessly with existing digital infrastructures, GDN allows businesses to deliver multilingual content to global audiences without the need for extensive code modifications or duplicate site management.
