Quality layer

AI orchestration across models

Lokalise automatically routes each piece of content to the best-performing LLM across 5+ models using Thompson Sampling.

33% higher quality than using ChatGPT alone
92% acceptance rate (vs. ~60% with a single LLM)
Industry-first smart routing — tested and optimized continuously

High-precision context

Lokalise selects the right context for each string — TM, glossaries, style guides, screenshots, and metadata. ~25,800 input tokens per 100 words translated, a 50:1 input-to-output ratio.

Glossary injection alone delivers +6.9pp improvement in acceptance rates
Context pipeline includes TM, glossary, style guide, and metadata
Precision retrieval prevents hallucinations and tone drift

Customizable AI localization

Custom AI profiles use advanced RAG to ground every output in your past translations, approved terminology, and style preferences. AI that sounds like your brand.

92% acceptance rate, matching human translation quality
Up to 97% cost savings when RAG grounding removes most human review
Eliminates off-brand output and inconsistent terminology

FAQs

How does AI translation work at Lokalise?

Lokalise delivers human-level translation quality at scale with AI orchestration, unmatched localization efficiency, and a centralized platform as your single source of truth.

Translations that NEVER sound literal: Human-level results that sound native, not translated
Localize 1,000 things in the time it takes others to do 10: Context-aware translations in minutes, ready to ship, not review, while you save budget.
One platform. Every language. Total control: AI is baked in—so your content flows, updates, and translates in one seamless place.

How does Lokalise ensure the best quality for AI translations?

Translation quality can feel subjective, but our approach brings data and structure to the problem. Instead of asking you to trust the AI blindly, we give you tools to evaluate and control it and the metrics to prove its effectiveness.

Our AI translations are context aware (translation memory, style guide, glossary). We use smart routing between multiple LLMs, built-in scoring, human-in-the-loop controls, and Custom AI profiles that use advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation on your content to deliver human-level results you can rely on, not just hope for.

What types of content can be translated using AI?

AI translation is incredibly versatile and can handle a wide range of content types, including websites, documents, emails, marketing materials, user-generated content, and more. It can adapt to different industries and content formats, making it the perfect solution for businesses aiming to reach global audiences.

Can Lokalise AI handle translations of highly specialized or technical content?

Absolutely! Lokalise can handle AI translations of highly specialized or technical content. Our AI models are trained to understand complex terminology, ensuring accurate translations even for the most specialized industries.

Is our data really safe when we use AI orchestration with Lokalise?

Lokalise uses enterprise-grade security protocols and partners only with trusted AI providers (like OpenAI and Anthropic), both of which are ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR compliant.

We’ve also opted out of data sharing for model training, meaning neither Lokalise nor our providers will use your translations to train their models. Anthropic (Claude) uses a zero-retention policy, and OpenAI retains data only for 30 days for abuse monitoring, never for training.

This setup ensures that your data stays private, controlled, and compliant — while still enabling you to benefit from world-class AI performance.
