Translate with Claude + context
Give the model brand voice examples in the target language. Much better than raw translation. Review required, but heavy lift is done.
Native-speaker QA
Always have a native speaker review. LLMs produce grammatically correct output that natives recognize as 'off'. That kills local SEO.
Cost savings are real
Typical localization $0.15-0.30/word. LLM + editor $0.04-0.08/word. Same quality, a third the cost.
