Flitto Unveils Innovative Translation Service "Flitto Place" Combining AI and Human Expertise

SEOUL, South Korea — April 5, 2023

Flitto, South Korea's premier language data and localization company, proudly announces the global launch of its groundbreaking service, "Flitto Place." This state-of-the-art solution seamlessly blends AI-based neural machine translation (nMT) and crowdsourced translation through an integrated language platform, leveraging the skills of certified professional translators and linguists from Flitto Localization.

Setting itself apart from traditional Language Service Providers (LSPs) that have only recently begun operating online platforms, Flitto has successfully broadened its expertise from IT platform operations to cutting-edge localization services. Flitto Place establishes a new standard by seamlessly integrating AI translation technology and human translators, delivering unparalleled accuracy in translating physical spaces.

Users simply provide an image or photo of the desired location, and Flitto Place generates translations in multiple languages. By scanning a QR code, users gain instant access to a webpage with the multilingual translation overlaid on the image, streamlining the experience for both operators and users without requiring a specific app installation. Building upon its extensive experience in crowdsourced translation operations and multilingual parallel corpora development, Flitto fosters the digital delivery of exceptional translations through the powerful synergy of AI and human expertise on its platform.

While QR code integration serves as the default, Flitto Place offers a range of customizable options tailored to clients' unique needs. The service has already achieved remarkable success in South Korea, revolutionizing menu translations and being adopted by ‘The Hyundai Seoul’, the nation's top-tier shopping mall, as well as over 200 local eateries in Jeju Island, the premier tourist destination.

Presently, Flitto Place is being implemented in one of the prestigious national museums in Korea, with active discussions underway with numerous galleries, exhibitions, trade fairs, and theme parks. The capacity to create digital multilingual information materials without resorting to print production has garnered widespread acclaim. Flitto is also engaged in promising negotiations with its branch office in Japan and exploring opportunities across numerous countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, where the MICE industry is flourishing.

Flitto’s CEO, Simon Lee, enthusiastically stated, "The global launch of 'Flitto Place' service is a momentous achievement, uniting AI-based MT trained on high-quality data with exceptional human translators on a state-of-the-art IT platform. Flitto Place's high translation accuracy, effortless digital accessibility, and the unrivaled speed and cost-effectiveness of the process firmly establish it as the most innovative digitalized multilingual translation service on the market today."
