The word spokes refers to the spokes of a wheel and symbolically represents our global network of partners.
At smartspokes, we tackle every challenge: Our personalized approach ensures that we can handle all formats, media, and tools—for us, there’s no such thing as “can’t be done.” We adapt flexibly to your requirements and always find a suitable solution, no matter how complex the project is.

smartspokes is different from many other translation agencies. We don’t work with thousands of freelancers. We rely on trusted translation partners—coordinated centrally from Böblingen in Germany.
Our partners are based in the target country and employ full-time, native-speaking translators and editors.So, your translation will be done in the country it’s meant for—and is therefore in the very best hands.
With us, you’ve got a dedicated point of contact for every project—covering all languages and every step of localization: from quotes and preparation to translation, voice-overs, video editing, implementation, and quality assurance.
The world is more connected than ever—businesses are expanding globally, reaching new target markets, and connecting customers and employees worldwide. Language is the key here: it knows no boundaries, makes content accessible, and brings people together, regardless of location or culture.
But language is more than just the written word. It appears in images, resonates in audio, moves in videos, and creates experiences that go beyond words. That’s why it’s so important to perfectly align all these elements—precise, engaging, and easy to understand.
In our specialty area of e-learning, you can see just how diverse and comprehensive our services are.
Whether it’s translating texts, adapting audio and video content, or integrating into complex learning platforms—we’ve got every step covered and ensure your e-learning impresses worldwide.
Our experience shows that e-learning projects are only successful when all elements are precisely aligned. We guide you from the initial planning to the final implementation—flexible, efficient, and always with the goal of delivering the best solutions from a single source.
With over 30 years of experience in localization, we know how to craft content that resonates globally and delivers its message effectively. Our language and media solutions blend linguistic precision, cultural insight, and technical expertise. Whether it’s individual texts, complex videos, or extensive projects—we ensure your content captivates in any language, on any medium, and every audience.
Whether you need a single component or a full-service solution, we offer everything from a single source. Because successful communication doesn’t stop at borders—it connects.
Our expertise in language, media, and technology is as diverse as your projects. Whether you’re looking for support in a specific area or need a complete solution—we’ve got the right services for you.
