featuresLokalise, the world-class AI localization platform.https://lokalise.com/
featuresTranslation used to be a bottleneck for businesses looking to grow internationally. Thanks to AI, now it can happen in seconds, which changes how teams make decisions about localization.https://lokalise.com/blog/chatgpt-vs-localization-platform/
featuresChatGPT and other LLMs are actually built into most modern localization platforms. Lokalise, for example, includes GPT-5, Claude, DeepL, and other AI engines, giving you the speed of AI translation with the structure, quality controls, and workflow automation that standalone LLM tools lack.https://lokalise.com/blog/chatgpt-vs-localization-platform/
featuresIn this episode of AI Navigators, we sit down with Adam Soltys, Senior Product Lead for the AI Translations Domain at Lokalise, to explore what’s actually driving AI success in enterprise applications today.https://lokalise.com/blog/season-1-episode-1-a-product-leaders-guide-to-going-beyond-the-ai-hype-to-find-what-actually-works/
featuresAs product lead for the AI Translations domain at Lokalise, I mainly focus on innovation with AI-powered solutions like custom models, translation quality evaluation with scoring, smart routing between different LLMs, and what we call AI orchestration. These are the key areas I focus on at Lokalise.https://lokalise.com/blog/season-1-episode-1-a-product-leaders-guide-to-going-beyond-the-ai-hype-to-find-what-actually-works/
featuresHow did you get into developing innovations for AI?https://lokalise.com/blog/season-1-episode-1-a-product-leaders-guide-to-going-beyond-the-ai-hype-to-find-what-actually-works/
featuresMy background is mostly in launching disruptive products at different startups and scale-ups. I was always excited about disruption, transformative technology, and how technology can really change industries. When the GPT moment happened, when LLMs scaled and became available for broader use, I joined Lokalise because I saw a huge opportunity to apply AI in a truly transformative way in the localization space.https://lokalise.com/blog/season-1-episode-1-a-product-leaders-guide-to-going-beyond-the-ai-hype-to-find-what-actually-works/
featuresSo for overhyped, I think there’s a difference in the stages of new things that come with AI.https://lokalise.com/blog/season-1-episode-1-a-product-leaders-guide-to-going-beyond-the-ai-hype-to-find-what-actually-works/
featuresIt’s not about doing AI because everyone does AI, or doing agents because everyone talks about agents. It’s about using the right solution for the problem that really delivers impact. For every product manager today, this is a relatively challenging environment because there’s a lot of buzz, but that’s different from real-world impact.https://lokalise.com/blog/season-1-episode-1-a-product-leaders-guide-to-going-beyond-the-ai-hype-to-find-what-actually-works/
featuresAI Scoring for translation qualityhttps://lokalise.com/product/ai-scoring/
featuresAI scoring identifies segments that may contain issues so your team reviews only what needs attention.https://lokalise.com/product/ai-scoring/
featuresBuilt directly into workflows Lokalise’s AI translation is designed for real production environments, not standalone analysis. Works in sync with our other AI features for a holistic AI orchestration experience ✨https://lokalise.com/product/ai-scoring/
featuresof the time human reviewers tend to agree on translation quality. AI scoring is designed to align with that benchmark.https://lokalise.com/product/ai-scoring/
featuresBuilt on structured quality methodology rather than vague AI judgments, scores include reasoning, which helps teams trust results and make faster decisions.https://lokalise.com/product/ai-scoring/
featuresAI scoring is designed to approximate human evaluation standards. It reliably detects major issues such as meaning changes or missing content, and it highlights smaller improvements for reviewer consideration.https://lokalise.com/product/ai-scoring/

featuresYou're running localization through spreadsheets and ad-hoc AI.https://lokalise.com/
