Our Story

Our founders, Spence and John, met at Google working on Google Translate. As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley, they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. While together at Google, they were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasn’t used for enterprise products and services inside the company. The quality just wasn’t there. So they set out to build something better. LILT was born. LILT has been a machine learning company since its founding in ****. At the time, machine translation didn’t meet the quality standard for enterprise translations, so LILT assembled a cutting‑edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services, LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models, human‑in‑the‑loop systems, and now agentic AI. With AI innovation accelerating and enterprise demand growing, the next phase of LILT’s journey is just beginning.

Our Tech

What sets our platform apart:

• Brand‑aware AI that learns your voice, tone, and terminology to ensure every translation is accurate and consistent
• Agentic AI workflows that automate the entire translation process from content ingestion to quality review to publishing
• Native integrations with systems like Adobe Experience Manager, Webflow, Salesforce, Git Hub, and Google Drive to simplify content translation
• Human‑in‑the‑loop reviews via our global network of professional linguists, for high‑impact content that requires expert review
