Welocalize’s AI-Led Quality Assurance (AILQA) solution has been named “Natural Language Recognition Solution of the Year” in the 2025 AI Breakthrough Awards, celebrating a major milestone in redefining multilingual content quality at scale. 

Rethinking Linguistic Quality Assurance with AI 

Traditional approaches to Linguistic Quality Assurance (LQA) often rely on sampling a limited portion of translated content for manual review, introducing subjectivity, inconsistency, and inefficiency. AILQA changes that. 
 
AILQA uses large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to automatically detect and classify translation errors across entire documents. By referencing human-reviewed examples tailored to client preferences, AILQA can evaluate quality against the MQM error typology, surfacing only the most critical issues for human linguists to assess. This dramatically increases coverage and consistency while preserving expert human judgment where it’s needed most. 

Automation with Human-in-the-Loop Precision 

AILQA doesn’t just evaluate – it accelerates. By automating quality assessments, it reduces the time human reviewers spend combing through correct translations, expanding evaluation scope without increasing workload. That efficiency empowers linguists to focus on impactful errors, improving feedback loops, and speeding up content production cycles across hundreds of languages. 
 
AILQA is part of the Welocalize OPAL Enable suite, which includes complementary tools such as AIQE (quality estimation) and AIPE (post-editing), creating an intelligent and adaptive translation workflow. 

A Win for Innovation in Global Content 

“With AILQA, we’re putting AI to work in practical, powerful ways—helping our clients manage multilingual quality at enterprise scale,” said Chris Grebisz, CIO at Welocalize. “Winning the AI Breakthrough award reflects our focus on innovation and our commitment to balancing automation with human expertise.” 

Recognizing AI’s Global Impact 

Now in its eighth year, the AI Breakthrough Awards received over 5,000 nominations from 20+ countries. The program recognizes technologies leading the charge in generative AI, computer vision, robotics, NLP, and more. 

“Welocalize AILQA is transforming how multilingual content is evaluated,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director at AI Breakthrough. “By automating error detection and evaluation, Welocalize is not just improving quality – it’s maximizing the value of every human touchpoint in the process.” 

As global organizations seek scalable solutions for delivering accurate, brand-aligned content across languages and channels, AILQA offers a path forward – combining AI’s speed with expert validation to ensure quality, at scale.
