Localization is more than translation. Products need consistent terminology, tone, formatting, and cultural adaptation.

Use cases

LLMs can help with:

  • UI copy translation
  • marketing localization
  • glossary enforcement
  • tone adaptation
  • translation QA
  • support message translation

Use glossaries

Provide approved terms, product names, and forbidden translations. This improves consistency.

Review important copy

High-visibility pages, legal text, and pricing copy should still receive human review.

Final thoughts

LLM APIs can speed localization when paired with glossaries, QA checks, and review workflows.
