Who is Lokalise for?
Lokalise focuses on translation & localisation, IT & software development and e-commerce. It fits work such as producing first translation drafts and machine pre-translation (post-editing), keeping terminology and house style consistent with term bases and translation memories, and rolling out and maintaining websites, apps and software in multiple languages.
What should I watch out for with AI in translation & localisation?
Client source documents often contain personal data or trade secrets: never use the free consumer version of a translation tool for client material. Require a data processing agreement, check that your texts are deleted after translation and not used for training, and choose EU hosting where possible. Many translation contracts and NDAs with end clients prohibit passing texts to third parties without consent, so document which MT engine you use. And stay responsible for the content: AI translations read fluently but can reverse figures, negations and legal nuances.
