How does AI orchestration work?
-
1
Upload content to translate
First you’ll need to upload content to a project. Manually add files or automatically add content by integrating your CMS tools, code repositories, and more.
-
2
Context is fed to our AI system
Before our AI starts translating, it gets context from resources like translation memory, style guide, glossary will be analyzed to ensure that cultural nuances are captured, industry-specific jargon is preserved, and brand guidelines are consistently followed, just as a professional translator would do.
-
3
Translate with AI. Sound human.
Now it’s time to translate. Lokalise is the first localization platform to use smart routing with multiple LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude — automatically selecting the best-performing engine for each translation based on the language pair and context.
The result? 80% of translations are good to go — no edits needed. And with advanced RAG acceptance rates rise up to 90%, matching average human level quality.
-
4
Review with human translators where they make most impact
Add human translators in your workflow if you need to review AI-translated content. Our Translation Scoring evaluates AI translations and tells you what’s safe to publish and flags what needs a second look. Right in the editor.
This means smarter budget allocation (you won’t need to overspend on unnecessary reviews) and improved productivity for you and your team.
-
5
Automate everything
With customizable no-code Workflows you can let translations run in the background without a worry. Our AI will automatically gather the necessary context, auto-select the right engine and evaluate the translation quality and flag low confidence segments (only 20% of output requires post-editing) thanks to our built-in translation scoring. All automated and in one 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.

Which languages does Lokalise support for AI translations?
Lokalise supports more than 100 languages and dialects for AI translations and we’re always adding new ones.
Are AI translations included in all plans?
Yes, AI translations are included in all plans, but we’ve divided them into two types depending on the technology that powers them: Standard and Pro AI.
Think of Standard AI as advanced machine translation—fast and helpful for low-impact content. But if you need customer-facing, brand-sensitive, or high-volume content, Pro AI is built for that.
Pro AI uses smart routing, rich context, and Custom AI profiles to deliver human-like quality at scale. With Pro AI, you’ll see better translation quality, less post-editing, and much higher trust in the results.
