Welcome 2026
As we step into a new year, let’s look back at what’s happened over the last few decades!
1996
The commercial internet went multilingual. Website localization and CAT tools were born. We learned to speak the language of the web.
2006
Web 2.0 platforms like Facebook and Twitter changed how content spread globally. LSPs began building new workflows for speed and scale with high volume, fast turnaround, and continuous localization emerging as the new reality.
2016
Neural MT was born, leading to a fundamental reshaping of our landscape. Everything we see today—LLM-based translation, automated post-editing, tools like Hera AI—descends from this pivot.
When you think about what we worked with just 10 years ago, today’s AI-powered innovations feel almost like science fiction.
Yet, each leap has made human connection across languages more natural and accessible.
What will 2026 bring? Let’s find out together.
