Why Lilt?

Introduction

Lilt is a language service provider that makes translation faster, more accurate, and more affordable for organizations around the world. Lilt provides both translation services as well as a powerful platform for in-house translation.

For organizations that employ in-house translators, we provide software to make your own translators more accurate and efficient. Government agencies and most large enterprises fall into this category.

For organizations that don't employ in-house translators, we provide a complete, end-to-end translation services solution where we source, vet, and manage the world's best human translators on your behalf, equip them with Lilt's technology to make their work faster and more accurate, and then have them work on your organization's content that needs translation. Most businesses fall into this category.

No matter your organization, the Lilt Platform ensures that your content is translated quickly, accurately, and efficiently.

Workflow

Projects are first imported into our Enterprise Portal through a natively-built connector, custom-built integrations using our open API, or via manual upload. The Lilt Platform integrates with content systems such as your TMS, CMS, knowledge base software, code repo, file sharing tool, and more, automatically pulling new content into Lilt for translation and back out into your systems for publishing.

Then, a translator, due date, and any existing linguistic assets (like glossaries, termbases, and translation memories) are assigned to the project. A human translator works using Lilt's cloud-based CAT Tool, which leverages our interactive, adaptive neural machine translation system, and predicts translations in the interface. As the translator completes work and accepts, amends, or rejects each prediction, the system learns from your feedback in real-time, and predicts more accurately over time. The system assists the human translator with higher quality for potential fully automatic translation.

Unlike most LSPs, Lilt does not use machine translation post-editing (MTPE), a process where machine translation (MT) is used to pre-translate texts for later human correction. Lilt revolutionizes translation by replacing post-editing with interactive and adaptive machine assistance - keeping the human in the loop.
