Our take

Widely available tools like Google Translate are not fit for complex, operationally intense processes that require expert translations. Manual methods of yesterday can't scale with the volume of digital information produced in the world today. Lilt works with companies, schools, and government agencies to provide AI-powered enterprise language translation. Lilt’s platform combines a translation management system and neural machine translation with human language experts to create a “human-in-the-loop” approach.

While companies like AI Translate offer intelligent machine translations, they still have linguists fine-tune and correct the texts afterward. With the Lilt platform, AI and humans work in collaboration through the text together, with the AI making real-time sentence suggestions and the linguist reviewing them immediately. This collaboration creates 3-5x better efficiency compared with traditional human-only translation services, aiding in Lilt's substantial rounds of funding.

Clients such as Asics, Canva, and Digital Ocean use Lilt technology for urgent campaigns and large-scale localisation projects. Recently, Lilt launched its V3.5 translation models, which improve quality by 15% to 20%, significantly enhancing translation accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, Lilt appointed a new Chief Revenue Officer to propel growth and scale, emphasising its commitment to expanding its market presence and improving its services further.
