On-Prem Features and Security Updates

Structured PDF Translations

You can now upload a text-based PDF directly to Lilt and get a translated PDF back while retaining original formatting, for both Instant and Verified Translation jobs. LILT’s new PDF translation feature automatically extracts the text, translates it, and reconstructs the document, ensuring that your tables, columns, and images stay right where they should be.

Language & Locale Management API

We now have a new language & locale management API, delivering a more efficient and robust way to handle translation pairs in the Lilt platform. This powerful API brings several key benefits:⁠⁠​ Streamlined Workflow: Automatically creates missing languages and locales when setting up new translation pairs, eliminating manual setup steps⁠⁠​
Intelligent MT Integration: Automatically enables machine translation for supported language pairs (60+ languages), ensuring optimal translation quality with zero configuration⁠⁠​
Enhanced Reliability: All pair creation happens in a single transaction, preventing incomplete setups and ensuring data integrity⁠⁠​
Error-Proof Operations: Comprehensive validation with clear error messages and graceful handling of duplicates, making integration seamless and reducing support requests⁠⁠​ This API represents a significant step forward in making language management more accessible and error-resistant for both administrators and developers.

Improve Translation Memory Management

Prioritize Recency Organization SettingLILT released a new organization-level setting that allows for recency-based match prioritization. If enabled, 101% matches will be treated as equivalent to 100% matches, prioritizing recency over context precision. This supports customers who want to use the most recent 100+% match translation, regardless of context, without decreasing the strength of TM matches.
