The leading provider of virtualization software engaged Centific to modernize localization using AI-powered technologies. Together, we streamlined terminology workflows, cut manual effort by 80%, and built a scalable and multilingual solution ready for global releases.

The client needed to modernize localization for speed, scale, and quality

To support fast-paced global releases, the client needed a smarter way to manage terminology across tens of millions of translated words. Unfortunately, legacy solutions weren’t able to keep up with the project’s complexity and scale. 

Managing terminology was inconsistent and labor-intensive

Following a major software release, the client faced the challenge of extracting and standardizing terminology from a multilingual content set totaling more than 60 million words.

Without a centralized approach, glossaries varied across teams, and manual review processes further slowed down release cycles. Consistency suffered, rework rates were high, and translation quality was at risk.

The client wanted to explore AI for regional language adaptation

The team also piloted content transformation from es-International to es-Spain. This was a task that would require deep regional nuance and cultural understanding. Early experiments showed promise but lacked the accuracy necessary for global production.

This pilot signaled the client’s broader vision: to embed AI into localization workflows and deliver high-quality adaptations at scale.

And so the client turned to Centific, hoping to reimagine localization through automation, consistency, and linguistic precision.

Centific built an AI-powered framework to automate and standardize localization

To meet the client’s goals, Centific delivered a scalable solution rooted in automation, linguistic expertise, and AI innovation. At the solution’s center was Centific Flow, a powerful AI-driven localization platform built on Centific’s frontier AI data foundry platform.

AI-driven term mining streamlined glossary creation across languages

Centific used Flow to deploy an advanced term mining process that automatically identified and extracted key terms from massive multilingual datasets. Trained against the client’s approved glossaries and refined with product-specific prompt engineering, Flow surfaced context-rich terminology aligned with the client’s preferred style, tone, and usage.

To help ensure quality, Centific’s Language Quality Management Team validated the extracted terms and reviewed each for accuracy, clarity, and relevance. This human-in-the-loop (HITL) process gave the client high-confidence glossaries without the bottlenecks of manual curation.

Prompt engineering and validation enhanced linguistic precision

Glossary extraction began with collaborative workshops to define inclusion and exclusion criteria—such as avoiding general UI terms, verbs, or synonyms. From there, Centific fine-tuned its prompts to target high-impact terminology. The result was a set of glossaries that captured product specificity while minimizing noise and redundancy.

This process delivered both speed and precision, reducing the need for post-processing and making glossary reuse easier across teams and releases.

AI-powered adaptation brought regional nuance to Spanish content

Centific also piloted a regional adaptation workflow to convert content from es-International to es-Spain. Using Flow’s built-in language model—custom-trained on the client’s data—Centific achieved 95% accuracy in transforming syntax, vocabulary, and regional expressions.

The successful pilot validated the model’s readiness for broader use, opening the door to future AI-driven adaptation for additional languages and markets.

The client gained speed, consistency, and a scalable AI-driven localization model

Centific’s AI-driven solution didn’t just improve the workflow, it transformed how the client approaches localization. By automating term mining and validating outputs through expert review, the client reduced time, effort, and risk—all while laying the foundation for a more intelligent, future-ready, AI-driven localization process.

Manual labor reduced by 80% and glossary turnaround accelerated by a factor of eight

Flow reduced manual labor by automating the most time-consuming aspects of terminology extraction. What once required extensive human review now happened in a fraction of the time, with experts only needing to step in for final validation.

The result was an eightfold increase in glossary delivery speed, directly supporting faster content readiness across global product releases.

Standardized terminology improved quality and reduced rework

AI-extracted glossaries introduced a new level of consistency to translated content. By aligning terminology early, Centific helped reduce downstream queries, limit revision cycles, and ease the burden on localization and QA teams. With fewer inconsistencies, content quality rose—and so did confidence across regions. 

Regional adaptation pilot achieved more than 95% accuracy

The es-International to es-Spain pilot validated Centific’s ability to deliver precise, culturally relevant adaptations with AI. By embedding language-specific expertise into its models, Centific helped the client scale regionalization efforts without losing the nuance that makes content feel authentic.

The success of the pilot opened the door to future adaptation use cases in and across additional markets.

Centific is continuing to help clients transform localization with AI

By combining automation, expert validation, and scalable AI, Centific helped the client move beyond traditional localization workflows and embrace the potential of AI. The result was a faster, more consistent, more adaptive, and less stressful process.

With Flow in place and AI models trained on the client’s unique data, the client now operates with a future-ready framework for localizing multilingual and multimodal content—and a trusted partner ready to help handle whatever comes next.
