Update Your Profile

Completing your Smartling profile helps your teammates learn more about you. Here's how to add details about yourself, upload a photo, and set your location.

  1. Log in to Smartling, and click the dropdown menu next to your name.
  2. Select Profile.
  3. Make any of the following updates to your profile and click Save Changes once you're done.

Contact Information

  1. Update your first name or last name to change your display name in Smartling.
  2. Update your location to let your teammates know where you are based.

Profile Picture

Your Smartling profile picture is powered by Gravatar.

  1. Visit the Gravatar website to create your profile picture.
  2. To turn off your profile picture, use the ON/OFF toggle.

Login Information

Update the email or password you use to log in to Smartling in the Login Information section.

Languages You Can Translate

Let your teammates know what languages you can translate. Click the pencil icon and select language pairs from the dropdown menus.

This is unrelated to the language pairs you have been assigned to.

Multi-Factor Authentication Type

Change the type of multi-factor authentication used for your account. For more information, see Logging in with Multi-Factor Authentication. 

Default Landing Page 

This setting is available for Account Owners and Project Managers.

Configure which page will be displayed as your landing page when you log into your Smartling account. Choose between the following options:

  • Account Jobs: This page displays the account-level Jobs Dashboard, where you can manage translation tasks across all projects you have access to.
  • Account Dashboard: This is the recommended option, as this page allows you to easily identify and access high-traffic pages and resolve bottlenecks or issues.

The default landing page appears when you log in from dashboard.smartling.com. If you log in from a bookmarked page, you’ll be directed to that specific page instead.

Global Notification Preferences

  1. Ensure Global Notification Preferences is switched ON to receive translation notifications.
  2. Under Daily Notification Limit, you can set a limit on the number of notifications received each day.
  3. Configure an alternate email address if you'd prefer to receive notifications to a different email than what you use to log in to Smartling.
    *System emails (such as password reset or two-factor authentication emails) and issue watcher notifications cannot be sent to an alternate email address.

Notifications help you stay on top of your work. Try changing your notification preferences by project before disabling globally.
