    Phrase on the Forrester Wave: Automation, AI, Impact

    Forrester’s first-ever Wave for Translation Management Systems is here—and it just made language tech a board-level conversation. In this episode of Localization Today, Eddie Arrieta sits down with Georg Ell (CEO) and Jason Hemingway (CMO) of Phrase, named a leader in the inaugural report with top scores in 21 of 26 categories. We unpack why the Wave matters now, how AI, orchestration, and quality scoring are driving hyper-personalized, multimodal experiences, and what enterprises can do in the next 90 days to turn multilingual content into measurable growth. Georg and Jason also dig into partner ecosystems, transparent roadmaps, and automation outcomes—plus where agentic workflows really stand.

    Gen AI at Scale: Adobe's Journey to 100+ Languages

    Adobe’s Ankush Sharma (Sr. Director & Head of Globalization Engineering) breaks down how his team delivers multilingual experiences at scale—across 100+ languages—by embedding MT and GenAI into Adobe’s platforms. We dive into the shift from pilots to production, human-in-the-loop quality, multimodal (text, image, video) workflows, and the real gains in speed, cost, and cultural relevance. Ankush also previews Adobe’s Globalization Summit 2025—Accelerating the Globalization AI Ecosystem—a free, invite-only, tech-forward gathering for product leaders, engineers, linguists, LSPs, and AI innovators (Nov 12–13, Noida/Delhi, with virtual access). If you’re building or buying GenAI for global content, this one’s for you. Details and interest form in the show notes.

    We speak with Helena Batt (TED Conferences) and Guy Piecarz (Panjaya) about TED’s move from subtitles to AI-assisted, human-reviewed dubbing across 115 languages. They unpack why dubbing delivers experience—not just information—how consent and clear labeling are built in, and what it takes technically (speech separation, context-aware translation, timing, emotional fidelity, and lip-sync).

    Segmentless Localization & the Future of Translators

    Translate beyond segments. In this episode, we dig into “segmentless localization” with Burroworks’ founder & CEO, exploring the Free Flow Editor’s context-rich approach to translating whole pages and posts—not line by line. You’ll hear when this method outperforms classic CAT (blogs, social, email) and when it doesn’t (UI), how vector-based memory differs from TMs, how MT/LLM suggestions pair with human authorship, and why quality shifts from fidelity to effectiveness in the AI era.

    Detecting AI-Generated Content: A hybrid linguistic approach

    By Wojciech Wołoszyk and Marta Domaszk The authors detail a method for determining whether texts are human-written or AI-generated.  The approach combines computational analysis, linguistic expertise, and a weighting system to provide a probability assessment rather than a binary classification. This nuanced approach is valuable in professional contexts in which content authenticity has significant implications for quality assurance, compliance, or intellectual property.
