    Lilt Inc.
    Lilt is a great platform for translating and reviewing content for mainstream languages that are spoken by a large number of people such as Spanish, French, etc. in which case the machine translation tool does a great job of adding the appropriate fluency, grammar, and punctuations. The QA checks also likewise provide apt feedback with rarely any errors. The only shortfall for Lilt is when the content to be translated belongs to any non-mainstream languages (such as regional Indian state ones) and the most noticeable errors are thrown by the QA check tools which have several long-standing unfixed bugs.

    • Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating.
    • UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager.
    • Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.
