Lingotek is a cloud-based translation services provider, offering translation management software and linguistic services for large enterprises including web content, software platforms, and electronic documents.

Founded in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2006, Lingotek is best known for pioneering the first cloud-based translation management system (TMS) and for its work to eliminate email and FTP as a means of file transfer during the translation process.

Lingotek’s Translation Management System (TMS) employs a variety of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) technologies, including project management software, a translator translation workbench, translation memory storage, glossaries and terminologies storage, machine translation integration, translation workflows and integrated localization services.

In 2008, Lingotek released "Lingotek-Inside," a product created in partnership with content management service providers such as Drupal, Oracle , and SharePoint , to develop automated translation services for web content inside commercial websites. “Lingotek – Inside” can be integrated (via the Lingotek Multilingual API) to many platforms, allowing for on-demand translation of websites, software, and other media. Today Lingotek has 17 "Inside" connectors including Adobe Experience Manager, Alfresco, Atlassian Confluence, Documentum, Drupal, Ektron, Git, GlotPress, Joomla, Liferay, Lingoport, Marketo, Microsoft SharePoint, Oracle WebCenter, Salesforce, Subversion (SVN), and WordPress.

In January 2015, Lingotek partnered with Lingoport to help automate the internationalization and localization process for electronic data (web content, commercial software, and product documentation).

Lingotek’s most notable product, a translation management system (TMS), is accessible online and gives users the ability to upload/download translatable documents and multilingual content. Once uploaded, users are able to translate and review the documents, leveraging enterprise-grade translation tools such as machine translation tools, stored translation memory, and professional translators.

Project managers can view progress, by document or project, via the TMS’s dashboard tools. Lingotek also offers the ability to crowdsource translations. With this option community members are able to propose translations and vote on each other’s translations to ensure all content is translated accurately for each language.

Major translation projects include the Library of Congress’ metadata translation for the World Digital Library, Project Matsu (in collaboration with NASA) coordinating disaster relief efforts in post-earthquake Haiti, and the National Science Foundation’s research sponsorship CluE project.

Lingotek has received recognition as an Edison Award Finalist(2015) and Edison Award Nominee(2014), a Gartner Cool Vendor of the Year(2012), and has received the Stevie Award for Best New Product or Service of the Year – Software as a Service (2010).
