Capabilities

​
Translation

Upload files (documents, presentations, websites) and translate them into multiple languages. The agent can recommend translation methods based on document type—choose Instant Translation for quick turnaround or Verified Translation for quality-critical content. You can also get quotes before starting, track progress in real-time, and create or use custom translation models.

​
Content Creation

Generate content like blog posts, training materials, or marketing copy in any language. Use professional templates for consistent output, then translate your content into additional languages as needed.

​
Terminology Management

Extract key terms from documents, websites, or search results to build custom glossaries (termbases). These help ensure consistent translations across projects, especially for technical or specialized content.

​
Insights and Analytics

Track translation quality over time and monitor AI accuracy to inform your translation method choices. Generate customizable reports with graphs and tables, and download charts and CSVs for further analysis.

​
Team and Project Management

Automatically assign translators and reviewers, manage workflow stages for quality control, and track assignments and project timelines.

​
Limitations

  • Cannot create new LILT accounts (you need an existing account with API access)
  • 2GB file size limit for uploads
  • AI translations are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate; human review is recommended for important content
  • Cannot accurately represent current spend to date
  • Cannot process file formats that LILT doesn’t support
  • Cannot modify account permissions or user roles
  • Cannot create or use connector integrations
The agent works best with modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari). Large projects may have slower performance, and some features require specific LILT subscription levels.

​
Getting Started

​
Step 1: Start a Conversation

Start by telling the agent what you want to do: “I’d like to translate a document,” “Can you help me create a blog post?” or “I need to build a glossary for my company.”

​
Step 2: Upload Your Content

If you’re working with files, the agent will guide you through the upload process. You can upload single files or entire folders. Supported formats include Word documents, PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, and more. If you’re working with text, paste it in the chat and ask the agent to translate it.

​
Step 3: Specify Your Needs

Tell the agent what languages you need (e.g., “English to Spanish”), what type of content you’re working with (e.g., “marketing materials,” “technical documentation”), and your quality requirements (e.g., “I need this to be perfect” vs. “This is just for internal use”).

​
Step 4: Review and Approve

The agent will show you a summary of what it plans to do, ask for your approval before proceeding, and give you options to modify settings.

​
Step 5: Let the Agent Work

Once you approve, the agent handles the technical details. You’ll get updates on progress and can ask questions or make changes along the way.

​
Examples

​
Translate a Marketing Brochure

You: "I have a marketing brochure in English that I need translated to Spanish and French"

Agent: "I can help you translate your marketing brochure. Let me ask a few questions:
- Do you have the file ready to upload?
- Is this for external customers or internal use?
- Do you need human review for quality assurance?"

You: "Yes, I have the file. It's for customers, so quality is important."

Agent: "I'll set up a workflow with human review to ensure high quality. Let me create a translation project for you..."

​
Create a Multilingual Blog Post

You: "I need a blog post about our new product in English, German, and Japanese"

Agent: "I'd be happy to help create a multilingual blog post. Let me gather some details:
- What's the main topic or angle of the blog post?
- Who is your target audience?
- How long should the post be?
- Do you have any specific keywords or topics to include?"

You: "It's about our new AI translation feature, targeting business users, around 800 words. Use the attached files as a reference"

Agent: "I'll create a professional blog post about your AI translation feature. Let me generate this in English first, then translate it to German and Japanese..."

​
Build a Company Glossary

You: "I want to create a glossary of technical terms for my software company"

Agent: "A glossary will help maintain consistency across all your translations. I can help you:
- Extract terms from your existing documents
- Create a structured glossary
- Translate terms to your target languages

What languages do you need, and do you have some sample documents I can analyze?"

You: "We need English, Spanish, and Chinese. I have some product documentation I can upload."

Agent: "I'll analyze your documentation to extract key technical terms and create a comprehensive glossary..."

​
Things to Avoid

​
Sensitive Information

Avoid uploading confidential business documents, personal information, or sensitive data. Don’t share passwords, API keys, or other credentials, and be cautious with financial or legal documents.

​
Expectations for Large Projects

Large files (over 50MB) may take time to process, and projects with multiple languages and human review take longer. Quality takes time, especially for human-reviewed translations.

​
Skipping Steps

Always review the plan the agent creates before approving. Provide details when asked—this helps the agent give you better results. Don’t skip the confirmation step.

​
Doing Too Much at Once

Start with one translation or content creation project first to learn the basics before attempting complex workflows. Ask for help if something isn’t working.

​
Forgetting to Review

Review translations before using them in production, verify terminology in your glossaries, and test content in different languages to ensure it makes sense.

​
Tips for Better Results

​
Be Specific

Instead of “translate this,” say “translate this marketing brochure from English to Spanish for our Latin American customers.” Instead of “create content,” say “create a 500-word blog post about AI in healthcare for medical professionals.”

​
Use the Agent’s Expertise

Ask the agent to recommend the best approach for your situation. Let it suggest workflow stages and quality levels, and trust its recommendations for language pairs and models.

​
Plan Ahead

Think about your target audience and their language preferences, and consider whether you need human review for quality-critical content.

​
Getting Help

​
Built-in Help

Use prompts like “help abilities” or “help getting started” to see what the agent can do. Ask the agent to explain any terms or concepts you don’t understand.

​
When Things Go Wrong

Describe the problem clearly to the agent and ask for alternative approaches if your first attempt doesn’t work. Escalate to support if the agent can’t resolve the issue.

​
Contacting Support

Screenshot errors if they appear, note what you were trying to do when the problem occurred, and include any error messages in your support request.

​
Feedback

Your feedback helps us improve. Report issues you encounter, suggest improvements to workflows or features, and ask questions about anything that’s unclear.
