AI in Localization

Nowadays, AI localization is an art that requires more than just linguistic knowledge. As AI becomes an integral part of the localization workflow, mastering the art of crafting effective prompts is important for translators and localization professionals. This article was created in collaboration with professional linguist, localization consultant, and AI trainer Dorota Pawlak. Find out advanced prompting strategies and examples for using Agentic AI in Crowdin to enhance various aspects of the localization process.

For decades, making your business multilingual meant a slow and expensive process of translating word-for-word. Now, with AI localization, every business can afford to go global. But simply changing the language isn't enough; you need to capture the culture, the tone, and the market nuance for every single audience. AI localization is not just a faster version of old-school machine translation. Based on Large Language Models, it produces translations that are tailored to specific local cultures rather than language-to-language interpretation. Read on to discover how AI, combined with human expertise, is making it possible to launch international products faster. Learn what the Crowdin platform is, and which localization tools can help you create AI-powered workflows to optimize your budget. Editor's Note: AI Technology moves fast. Tools that work today may be useless tomorrow. To make sure the content is always up-to-date, we review and update this article every few months with the most relevant insights and newest tools.

Localization often takes a lot of effort, so saving time on manual tasks lets you focus on quality. In a recent Crowdin Power Up episode, host Stefan Huyghe and AI localization expert Dorota Pawlak introduced new features that make your Crowdin workflow smarter and more efficient. Keep reading to discover how these platform updates will: - Eliminate ambiguity by automatically flagging unclear strings. - Handle bulk actions like a pro with simple text commands. - Automate workflows for tasks you perform every day. You'll see how these new tools help translators who are ready to embrace the future of AI-powered localization. Check the full episode on YouTube.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a technology that allows you to connect large language models (LLMs) to external, dynamic data sources and tools to provide more contextual information. Unlike Retrieve Augmented Generation (RAG), which accesses static documents, MCP connects to live resources that change constantly, such as code repositories or content management systems. This dynamic access helps LLMs provide more accurate and context-rich outputs. MCP usage can reduce "hallucinations" in which the AI generates incorrect information.

What if there was a way to make AI in localization not just faster and more cost-effective, but also smarter? Enter the Agentic AI era, which transforms how we approach translation and localization. In this article, we'll explore: - What Agentic AI is. - How it differs from earlier AI versions. - How Agentic AI works. - Its impact on the localization industry. - Crowdin's approach to Agentic AI (features, examples, and how it helps translators).

Lightning fast, continuous localization. Decent quality. Super affordable. All automated with no humans in the loop. This guide shows you how to build a multilingual product on autopilot using Crowdin. The workflow is tech stack agnostic and suitable for web, mobile and desktop applications, as well as their documentation and marketing materials. Best of all, AI translations would be contextual. The AI will have all the information it needs to produce the best possible translations. And in the future, you would still be able to bring in a human linguists to improve translations, if you needed to. Prerequisites: You have an internationalized web or mobile application. This means that all translatable texts from the UI have been extracted into the resource files. The implementation time of this guide is 30 minutes. <BlogCTA title="Looking for a Complete General Guide?" buttonUrl="https://crowdin.com/blog/ai-localization" buttonText="Read More About AI Localization" buttonId="read-more" />

Accurate translation is essential to facilitate global collaboration. Traditional translation methods often require significant time and resources. Combining Crowdin AI and human translations offers faster and more consistent results. By harnessing the power of AI, you can enhance its translation capabilities and optimize resource allocation. Discover how AI revolutionizes the localization process and workflow by enhancing translation accuracy through contextual understanding in this article.

If you're curious about how Crowdin AI can enhance your localization projects, this article answers some frequently asked questions about price, customization, and best practices. Let’s discover if an AI can translate and the best way to use AI tools for language translation. <YouTubeEmbed id="ZqfvNIMpp4Q" />

It's fascinating to watch how LLMs are taking over the translation industry. In the last few months, we've seen many great applications of how machines can assist and perform translation tasks. The reason LLM's seem to be taking over is because of the context they can accept and leverage when translating. Today, we're very excited to announce immediate access to the latest version of Crowdin AI with the fine-tuning feature! A way to feed TM's and glossaries of any size before asking the LLM to translate your content. Our complete solution for AI localization.

The first experiments with machine translation began in the 1950s. At that time, the technology was more like an automated dictionary. Machine translation became more useful in the 90s when statistical machine translation was introduced. However, the translation quality was still far from human translation. In 2010, when Google introduced Neural Machine Translation, things changed. Machine translation became a useful tool, which in many cases, influenced both the work of professional translators and clients' budgets. Now, AI is actively searching for its place within all industries, and localization is no exception. Let's see how you can run AI pre-translation and the potential of AI in localization.

Today we are happy to announce the invitation to the beta version of our new app – an AI chatbot built on OpenAI's ChatGPT API. Large language models are the hottest topic around our newsfeeds these days. While companies are still figuring out how to use them most efficiently, it is clear that this technology will change the way people and companies work in the near future. Crowdin has been experimenting with AI and ML for years to offer the most advanced technologies and make sure we enable our users to be most productive while doing global business. AI chatbot built on OpenAI's ChatGPT API we're showing today is just one of the first successful experiments we're excited to share. This is an private beta, and you're welcome to join.
