Case Study: United States Air Force achieves 10x faster translation velocity with Lilt

LILT's intuitively designed platform amplifies linguist productivity and reduces USAF linguist onboarding time from months to hours.

The United States Air Force partnered with Lilt to address the challenge of translating massive volumes of foreign technical documentation quickly and accurately, despite a limited pool of trained linguists. The need was to improve global awareness and decision advantage while reducing the time required to onboard and ramp up linguists.

Lilt implemented its Contextual AI Platform with a simple two-step workflow, combining machine translation with predictive CAT tools to support both non-linguists and USAF linguists. The result was a more than 50% reduction in linguist ramp time, a 3-4x boost in productivity, and 10x faster translation velocity, with the team completing more work in four months with Lilt than in the previous two years.
