Emerging players

• Lilt: Lilt is an AI-first translation platform combining large language models with human-in-the-loop review for enterprise localization.

• Smartling: Smartling is a technology-led translation management platform focused on software and website localization for enterprise digital content. Overlaps with Trusted Translations on app/website localization but competes primarily through a software platform rather than human-led services.

Broad incumbents
