Managed AI localization for high-volume content

AI translation services with a native linguist on every job

Our AI translation services give high-volume programs what AI on its own does not: terminology that holds from release to release, human depth where your risk is, and evidence on every delivery that you can show your stakeholders. We run the work as a managed service, inside your files or your platform, and you can use it in two ways: we translate your new content, or we assess AI output you already have. AI agents translate against your glossary, translation memory (TM), and style rules, and check the text before and after a native linguist, who decides what changes. If a file fails the quality gate, it does not ship.

Agents do the volume work, and a linguist makes the call

Each step in the cycle has a named owner: an agent, a linguist, or you, so you always know who decided what. Agents test every file against the rules that can be checked automatically, and the linguist judges the rest and decides what changes.

Then: learn from your reviewers. Every edit your reviewer makes is compared with what we delivered. Each confirmed lesson becomes a glossary entry, a rule or an automatic check before your next batch.

What happened, step by step

  1. Client Step 1 Sends the file, the glossary and the style guide.
  2. Agent Step 1 Measures the file and finds what changed since the last batch: one new segment.
  3. Linguist Step 1 Project lead confirms the scope and the service level: AI + Edit + Review.
  4. Agent Step 2 Proposes “Bestellung” for “order”, with its source: your glossary.
  5. Linguist Step 2 Reviewer approves the term.
  6. Agent Step 3 Translates against your glossary, translation memory and rules, then runs automatic checks.
  7. Agent Step 4 Native-reader agent, seeing only the German, flags the word order as reading like a translation.
  8. Linguist Step 4 A native linguist post-edits the segment and fixes the word order.
  9. Agent Step 5 QA agents check accuracy, grammar, style and terminology, each blind to the others’ results.
  10. Linguist Step 5 A second linguist reviews every segment.
  11. Agent Step 6 Advocate and devil’s-advocate agents argue one style finding. The judge agent recommends keeping the edit.
  12. Linguist Step 6 The reviewer decides to keep it and records the reason.
  13. Agent Step 7 Quality gate: not passed. File held. Placeholder {order_id} is missing from the German, so the file does not ship.
  14. Linguist Back to step 4 The linguist restores {order_id}. Nothing else changes.
  15. Agent Step 7 A regression check re-reads the changed text.
  16. Agent Step 7 Quality gate: passed.
  17. Client Step 7 Receives the file, the gate result, the issue log and the quality report.

Every job runs steps 1–4 and 7. Steps 5 and 6 run at the higher service levels, as named in your quote. Step 5 runs at AI + Edit and AI + Edit + Review, and step 6 at AI + Edit + Review.

Put human depth where the risk is

An archived help article and a campaign page do not carry the same risk, so they should not get the same depth. You set the service level per content type, and the quote names it.

No new tools for your team, and fewer repeat corrections

We work from your exports, or inside your translation management system (TMS), including Phrase, XTM, Smartling, Crowdin, and Lokalise. Your team keeps its own workflow. Files come back in your format, with tags and placeholders preserved and checked by the gate before they leave us.

Your reviewers’ corrections carry forward into the next batch. Every edit your reviewer makes is compared with what we delivered. Each confirmed lesson becomes a glossary entry, a rule or an automatic check before your next batch.

Evidence you can show your stakeholders, with every delivery

You don’t have to read the target language to know what happened to your file. Every delivery includes the quality-gate result and an issue log. At AI + Edit, sampled quality reports follow the schedule agreed for your program and can cover several small releases; at AI + Edit + Review, each delivery gets a full report.

AI translation services built for high-volume programs

Locstars has a dedicated team of native linguists for each language we offer.

High-volume programs are normal business for us. Send a single batch or a continuous stream of updates. For updates, we translate what changed since the last batch and recheck existing translations the change affects.

Each linguist is a native speaker of the target language and a subject specialist. The same team stays on your account, so the people who learned your terms and rules are the people who apply them.

Same-day delivery is possible for suitable volumes. We confirm timing in the quote.

You decide where AI is used

Your content is processed only through business AI services whose terms bar training on it. You decide how AI is used, content type by content type.

Read the full detail on the Data and AI use page.

  • If some content should stay out of AI, tell us. It is then translated by native linguists without machine translation or generative AI, using your translation memory and glossary.
  • We sign your NDA before work starts.
  • We sign your data processing agreement (DPA), as we sign your NDA.
  • We delete your files on request.
  • You own your translation memory. We hand it over as a TMX file whenever you ask.

Judge the work on your own content first

Start small and judge the work on your own content, not on our claims. There are two ways in. Your quote confirms whether the work is a one-off project or part of an ongoing program.

  1. Free check, if you already use AI or MT

    Send up to 300 source words of AI or MT output you already have, in a listed language pair. We send back findings on that text. They are indicative, not a rating of your full content.

  2. Sample on your file

    Request a quote. If the fit is right, we work on a defined part of your own content at the service level we propose.

  3. Pilot

    We run real work in your TMS or files at the levels you chose, and your reviewers judge the result.

  4. Monthly contract

    For an ongoing program, the contract sets the service level for each content type, a volume band, and delivery windows.
