Ugh Jun 11, 2025

In their endless drive to push through completely unnecessary changes that do not benefit anyone, they can't even think up a new name that fits their new initialism.

LSI Jun 11, 2025

According to Slator LSIs are "organizations whose core offering is to deliver fit-for-purpose multilingual content solutions by integrating language technology and AI with human experts as part of a fully managed solution."

So what's the difference with a regular translation agency then? Don't they all more or less do that?

That's pretty much the whole point: There is no difference. There is just a drive to upend the entire industry for no valid reason whatsoever. Because how could one invest the money one is no longer paying to those pesky human translators better than sticking it into completely nonsensical renaming?

You know how it is with marketing descriptions Jun 11, 2025

Marketers tend to obfuscate, not enlighten, with their pseudo technical descriptions of new (?) entities. They aren't fooling anyone, except silly investors with money to burn and little sense left in them. Same with crypto currencies.
