What's the difference between using Lokalise Flow and Google Translate or DeepL?

When using Google Translate or DeepL, you're relying on a single machine translation (MT) engine to translate your content. While these tools are fast and convenient, they often lack the context needed to produce translations that truly resonate with your audience. The result can be literal translations that miss the mark, leading to content that feels off or out of sync with your brand's voice.

Lokalise Flow, on the other hand, takes translation to the next level. Instead of just one MT engine, we use multiple powerful AI engines, like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, working together to deliver the highest accuracy. These engines don’t just translate words—they consider your brand, products, and audience to ensure that your content is always relevant and on-brand.


How do we ensure high-quality translations?

Lokalise Flow goes beyond simple AI translation by incorporating several layers of quality control to ensure your translations are top-notch:

  • Multiple AI engines working together — we use a combination of the most advanced AI engines available, which analyze your content from different angles. By leveraging the strengths of each engine, we produce translations that are more accurate and contextually appropriate than those generated by any single engine.

  • Personalized style guide and glossary — to maintain consistency and keep your brand’s voice intact, Lokalise Flow uses your personalized Style guide and Glossary. The AI engines adhere to these rules, ensuring that specific terms, phrases, and stylistic preferences are consistently applied across all languages.

  • Human review for sensitive content — for high-impact or sensitive content, we introduce a human touch. Professional translators review the AI-generated translations, fine-tuning them to meet the highest standards. This step ensures that your most important content is not just accurately translated, but also culturally appropriate and aligned with your brand's messaging.

  • Continuous learning and improvement — Lokalise Flow isn’t static. The system continuously learns from feedback and improves over time, making future translations even more accurate and aligned with your brand’s evolving needs.

By combining cutting-edge AI technology with expert human oversight and personalized tools, Lokalise Flow ensures that your translations are not only accurate but also meaningful and impactful, allowing your brand to connect with audiences worldwide.
