"LILT and AWS, we're better together, and we want to help address customers with a variety of different use cases that they have." - Tim McLaughlin, Senior Product Manager, AI Language Services at Amazon Web Services

Takeaway 1: LILT and AWS Collaborate to Create a Comprehensive AI Translation Strategy

LILT and AWS have partnered together to provide customers with a comprehensive AI translation strategy that combines the best of human ingenuity and machine efficiency. This partnership aims to address the challenges businesses face in sourcing and retaining language professionals, dealing with volume fluctuations, and maintaining cost-effective solutions.

"LILT was formed as a company in 2015 when our founders realized that there was still quite a bit of development before machine translation like Google Translate could be fully capable of producing enterprise-grade content without any human involvement at all," said Brittany Benchoff from LILT. Tim McLaughlin from AWS added, "We have made leaps and bounds in terms of the technology that's utilized when it comes to machine translation and ultimately how that impacts the overall accuracy and fluency of what the outputs look like."

Together, LILT and AWS offer solutions that cater to various translation needs, from "good enough" translations to human-verified translations, depending on the specific use case and desired outcome. This allows customers to choose the right solution or set of solutions to achieve the right balance of quality, scalability, cost, and rare language support.

Takeaway 2: LILT's Contextual AI Engine Enhances Efficiency and Quality in Translation

LILT's Contextual AI Engine is designed to provide predictive feedback to human translators while learning in real-time from their decisions and inputs. This creates a continuous loop that allows the human linguist to maintain control over the translation process while receiving increasingly accurate and efficient suggestions from the AI engine.

"LILT's technology is making that translator better, while at the same time, the translator is making LILT's technology better," explained Brittany Benchoff. This approach ensures that the final translation output is of high quality and accuracy, while also benefiting from the speed and efficiency provided by the AI engine.

Takeaway 3: LILT's Integration with AWS Ensures Security and Ease of Use

LILT and AWS prioritize security when it comes to customer data, offering encryption at rest and in transit, as well as data opt-out policies for customers who do not want their information used for training purposes. Integration with AWS services also enables easier deployment of multilingual content across various platforms and systems.

Tim McLaughlin from AWS shared, "We have taken extra lengths to make sure that especially data centers, regional availability, the security staff, etc., all the physical needs of protecting data centers are things that Amazon and AWS take up on behalf of our customers." By working together, LILT and AWS provide a secure, scalable, and efficient solution for businesses seeking to deploy AI-based translation strategies.
