Four pillars of
language intelligence.
Whether you're entering new markets, navigating multilingual compliance, or training the next generation of AI, our four service pillars combine the speed of automation with the assurance of human expertise.
Translation & Localization
Precision translation and end-to-end localization in 150+ languages — across documents, contracts, websites, software, mobile apps, and multimedia. Our native linguists adapt content for cultural and technical fit, ISO 17100-certified workflowsare available for projects that require independent revision and documented quality controls.
AI-Powered Translation
Hybrid pipelines combine the speed of large language models with the judgment of senior reviewers. For suitable content, AI-assisted workflows can help reduce turnaround time, with results depending on language pair, content type, workflow design, and review level.
AI & Data Services
High-quality multilingual data to train, fine-tune, and validate your LLMs and ML models. From data annotation to red-teaming, we provide the human-in-the-loop expertise that supports AI projects across multiple languages and cultures.
Interpretation & Global Communications
Simultaneous, consecutive, and remote interpretation for boardrooms, conferences, and regulatory hearings. We help your message land — in person, online, or over the phone — with 24/7 availability across 100+ language pairs.
Deep expertise where
stakes are highest.
Generic translation isn't enough when a single mistranslated digit can move markets, fail an audit, or trigger a product recall. For two decades, LocaTran has been the experienced language partner for industries where words carry real weight.
Translation that holds up under audit.
Specialized review for banking documentation, insurance contracts, fund disclosures, and SWIFT messaging (e.g., MT999 message types, BIC handling) — plus patent filings and certified legal translations. Numerical QA checks on figures, dates, and currencies.
Trusted by global banks and manufacturers
Built for product launch velocity.
Software UI, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, developer documentation, and technical content for global tech leaders. Continuous localization workflows that match your release cycle.
Continuous localization, each sprint
Technical precision, engineered in.
Expert terminology management for industry leaders such as Canon. End-to-end localization of technical manuals, engineering specifications, patents, and supply-chain documentation for global manufacturing operations.
5M+ words of technical content per year
Regulatory-aware multilingual support.
Clinical trial, regulatory, IFU, and patient-facing translations supported by ICH-aware terminology practices and trained life sciences linguists.
ISO 17100 + ICH GCP aligned
Brand voice that travels.
Marketing transcreation, e-commerce content, product catalogs, and packaging localization for global retail brands, supported by target-language creative writers who help adapt your brand voice for each market.
Transcreation across 30+ markets
Stories that land in target market.
Video game localization, app store optimization, subtitling, dubbing, and streaming media adaptation. Native creative talent with deep cultural and gaming knowledge.
Native creatives in 30+ markets
AI speed. Human expertise.
Zero compromise.
We don't believe in choosing between machine and human. We believe in engineering them together — with the right model, for the right content, at the right point in the workflow.
Intelligent Routing
Project is automatically classified by content type, risk level, and target market. Low-risk content flows through automated AI pipelines; regulated and brand-critical content is routed directly to senior linguists with subject-matter expertise.
AI-Powered Production
Our hybrid engine stack combines selected neural MT engines with leading global and Chinese LLMs — matched to each project based on language pair, subject domain, and confidentiality requirements.
Human-in-the-Loop Quality
Senior reviewers are subject-matter experts (SMEs), not just bilingual editors. They validate AI output for accuracy, brand voice, regulatory compliance, and cultural appropriateness — closing the loop that AI alone cannot.
Up to 60% faster turnaround on suitable content,
with a quality-focused workflow that delivers the precision your industry demands.
Precision is not a feature.
It's the foundation.
When financial figures, technical specifications, or regulated content cross language borders, “good enough” is unacceptable. Our multi-layer quality framework, built around ISO 17100:2015, meets the standards of the world's most demanding industries.
Numerical Accuracy QA
Automated and manual checks on key figures, dates, currencies, and units — helping reduce numerical errors in financial, technical, and regulatory documentation. Our reviewers flag inconsistencies that spell-checkers may miss.
Dynamic Terminology Management
Client-specific glossaries are built and updated throughout the project lifecycle to support brand and technical consistency across target languages, platforms, and recurring projects.
SME Review Layer
For regulated or brand-critical projects, senior linguists with relevant industry experience provide review support according to the agreed workflow.
ISO-Certified TEP Workflow
ISO 17100-aligned translation and revision workflows are available for regulated projects, with qualified linguists, tracked review steps, and agreed quality controls.
