Lilt Neural Machine Translation Platform
Automatically recognize languages, customize translations, and track accuracy with metrics.
What is Lilt Neural Machine Translation Platform?
Lilt is a neural machine translation platform designed to help teams translate content accurately and efficiently. It combines automatic language detection with customisable translation models, allowing organisations to maintain consistency across their translated materials. The platform includes built-in quality metrics that track translation accuracy, helping teams identify patterns and improve their translation workflows over time. Lilt is particularly useful for companies that need to manage multiple language pairs or maintain brand-specific terminology across translations. Rather than treating translation as a one-size-fits-all process, the tool lets you train models on your own content and glossaries, making it suitable for industries with specialised vocabulary.
