Why teams prefer LILT over Lionbridge

You own the model, not a rented one

LILT's proprietary models are customized and fine-tuned using your enterprise data assets. Each word translated provides feedback that automatically trains it on your organization's content, compounding quality and efficiency with every project. Lionbridge's translation quality rests on GPT-4 post-editing layered over blended third-party machine translation which is an orchestration strategy, not a proprietary model.

No more manual AI re-training

In-context learning and adaptation

As translators interact with the LILT’s AI suggestions, LILT's adaptiveAI engine learns and instantly self-trains the AI models. Lionbridge's third-party LLM doesn't.

In-context learning and adaptation

Efficiencies from agentic workflows

Autonomous agents detect content, choose the right workflow, manage production end to end, and call in human experts only when needed — cutting manual overhead and driving your program toward full autonomy.
