About LILT

LILT is an enterprise translation and localization platform built around its own adaptive translation models. Content flows in from connected systems such as CMSs, help desks and code repositories, gets translated by models tuned to a company's domains and terminology, and can then be checked by AI review agents or by human linguists, either LILT's or the customer's own. Corrections feed back into the models so quality improves over time. It aims to replace a separate translation management system and outside language service provider with one platform, and it also sells multilingual training and evaluation data to AI developers. LILT is geared to large companies and public sector bodies: it offers private cloud, on-premise and air-gapped deployment, security certifications, and connectors to more than 100 business systems plus an MCP server. All plans are sold through sales with usage-based charges for verified translation, so it is not a fit for individuals who just need a quick translation.

Best for: Large companies and government teams localizing high volumes of content with AI plus human checks.
