Lokalise AI is an AI-powered translation feature within the Lokalise platform that uses large language models (GPT-4, DeepL) combined with translation memory and glossary context to produce high-quality software translations. Unlike generic machine translation, Lokalise AI understands software context (UI strings, placeholders, markdown) and uses your existing approved translations as few-shot examples for better consistency.
