Episode notes
Make Products Multilingual By Default
- Lingo.dev auto-translates product UIs using LLMs and automates localization end-to-end.
- The goal is to let teams “just keep shipping” without translation bottlenecks.
Hackathon Birth Of The Product
- The first prototype was built at a 2023 hackathon and won best dev tool.
- That hackathon revealed many teams shared the same localization pain, so they kept building the product.
Why Localization Is Hard
- Localization costs are threefold: infrastructure, scaling across teams/languages, and quality control.
- Quality needs domain-native speakers and ongoing coordination across teams.
