Section 1
The premise
AI localization engineers go beyond machine translation: cultural adaptation, idiom transcreation, locale-specific compliance, and per-market evaluation pipelines.
What AI does well here
- Translate at scale with terminology-glossary enforcement
- Adapt tone and register per locale via prompt engineering
- Run locale-specific eval sets against every release
What AI cannot do
- Catch dialect, slang, and recent cultural shifts reliably
- Handle right-to-left or vertical script edge cases without engineering
- Replace legal review in regulated content categories per market
