The rate of global data creation is increasing exponentially, with 2.5 quintillion bytes of data added to repositories around the world each day. For the intelligence community, translating a massive volume of foreign content quickly with a limited pool of trained linguists is a challenge. Not meeting this challenge means reduced decision advantage and threats to national and global security.

To address these challenges, LILT swiftly onboarded this USAF unit’s team into a two-step workflow. Compared to past programs, the LILT Contextual AI Platform was intuitive and easy to learn, resulting in a more than 50% reduction in overall linguist ramp time.

The unit's Translation Program Manager shared how straightforward LILT's platform was relative to past translation solutions: “Every single linguist said how easy it is to use the LILT tool. Every other program required a 300-page manual, a three-day training, and at least a month of ramp time."

Using machine translation, non-linguists are able to quickly identify high-value content to send for human-verified translation by USAF linguists. Using LILT's predictive CAT tool, linguists then translate with efficiency and precision. This allows these specialized intelligence professionals to spend their time on the high-impact mission work where their focus is most needed.
