Review
Lilt runs an enterprise AI-translation product with a human-in-the-loop community of professional translators reviewing and correcting machine translation across 119 language pairs. It targets people with an actual language degree or equivalent professional translation experience, not casual bilingual speakers.
Pay is estimated at $29-50/hr, semi-monthly, but on net-30 terms — meaning there's a real lag between completing work and getting paid, worth factoring into cash-flow expectations.
Pros
- Solid estimated pay range ($29-50/hr) for a professional-translator audience
- Broad language-pair coverage (119 pairs)
Cons
- Net-30 payment terms mean a real lag between work and pay
- Requires a language degree or equivalent professional experience — not open to casual bilingual speakers
