Lokalise

AI translation suggestions in the Expert Editor

Lokalise translators accepted 82.6% of Claude's translation suggestions

WorkingVendor case studyVendor ↗

Problem

Lokalise sells a localization platform to software teams that publish content in many languages. Customers wanted translations that needed little post-editing, and no single model was best for every language pair.

Approach

Lokalise built an AI orchestration layer that compares output from several language models and picks one by language pair, content type and context. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is one of five engines. It is the default for several high-impact language pairs and handles longer segments such as product UI text and in-app messages. Translators see its suggestions in the Expert Editor and accept, edit or reject them. In an A/B test against GPT-4o, Claude had the higher acceptance rate.

Takeaway
