Proteins are made in the cytoplasm. In prokaryotes, there are proteins called ribosomes that link on to the mRNA and synthesize a protein. This process is called translation. In eukaryotes however, translation also occurs on ribosomes which are situated on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Although there are some notable differences in the process in which proteins are made in both systems, protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm.
