In a world where technology moves fast, localization and AI are coming together in powerful ways. At LocWorld52 in Monterey, Bureau Works’ Jamil Raide, along with other experts, discussed how generative AI is influencing the localization industry. Here’s what we learned about the current challenges and exciting possibilities AI brings to localization.
Why AI Matters for Localization
Generative AI can help streamline localization, but it’s not without its challenges. During the talk, speakers highlighted several key areas where AI is making an impact:
- Efficiency: AI helps speed up processes, saving time and resources.
- Quality Control: Tools can now catch errors or “hallucinations” in translations.
- Engagement: New AI models are helping teams connect and collaborate more effectively.
Creativity, Communication, and Connection
One main point shared was how AI boosts creativity and communication in localization. As one speaker explained, “With AI, we’re able to engage a whole new segment of people.” This means teams can work together better, even if they’re in different locations.
Testing and Trusting AI Models
When using AI for localization, testing and quality control are critical. Jamil Raide shared a key insight:
“Virtually, we can resolve pretty much anything with technology.”
He explained that building trust with partners and clients is essential, especially when relying on AI.
- Testing for Accuracy: Translating between languages to see if the message stays the same helps identify mistakes.
- Building Trust: Jamil noted that trust helps smooth the adoption of AI tools in localization, encouraging teams to embrace change.
- Clear Communication: Making sure that all team members understand how AI tools work is crucial for successful implementation.
Embracing Change in Localization
Localization teams are often pushed out of their comfort zones by AI. Change can be challenging, but it also creates opportunities for growth.
Key Points to Consider:
Moving Forward with AI
As AI becomes more integrated into localization, companies will need to continue adapting. Jamil believes this transition will succeed with trust and clear goals, noting. With AI’s support, the future of localization looks promising, and sessions like this at LocWorld52 are just the beginning.
Final Thoughts
AI in localization is still growing, and there’s a lot to learn. With leaders like Jamil Raide and industry experts guiding the way, companies can find new ways to adapt and innovate.
