Lilt

What is Lilt?

Lilt is an enterprise translation platform that combines AI machine translation with professional human translators in an integrated workflow. The platform is specifically designed for sectors where accuracy and domain jargon are critical, such as legal documents, technical manuals, medical content and regulated financial communication. Lilt supports more than 60 languages and is used by large technology companies and governments to translate product documentation, software interfaces and policy material at scale.

How does Lilt work?

Lilt uses a custom-trained neural translation model that is fine-tuned per client on their specific terminology, style guides and previous translations. Human translators receive real-time AI suggestions that they can accept, adjust or reject, which shortens turnaround time by an average of 40 to 60 percent.

The platform continuously learns from translators' corrections, so the AI suggestions get better per client and domain. Thanks to this human-in-the-loop approach, every translation is reviewed and approved by a certified translator before delivery.

Key features

• Human-in-the-loop — human quality control is a standard part of the process, not an optional add-on.
• Adaptive translation model — the neural model learns per client and domain and becomes increasingly accurate.
• TMS — a Translation Management System manages projects from request to delivery, including version control and terminology management.
• LQA tools — built-in Linguistic Quality Assurance flags errors in terminology, consistency and formatting.
• API integrations — connections with content management systems, repositories and ticketing systems automatically create translation requests.

Comparison with alternatives

Compared with purely automated solutions such as the DeepL API or Google Cloud Translation, Lilt stands out through its guaranteed human quality control. Compared with traditional translation agencies, Lilt offers faster turnaround, because the AI does the heavy translation work and the translator only corrects and approves.

Who is it for?

Lilt targets medium-sized to large organizations that process structural translation volume and where both speed and quality are essential. For companies in regulated sectors that are liable for translation errors, the human-in-the-loop model is a decisive argument over fully autonomous translation tools.
