What Venture Capital Firms Look For When Investing in Language AI

"AI may have gotten top billing for SlatorCon London 2025’s Investor Panel, but investors Ignacio Monereo and Simone Cremonini stated up-front that when it comes to committing funds, they place great importance on the people behind the tech.
Prior to his current role, as Partner at USD 40m firm Boost Capital Partners, Monereo worked eight years at Google, where he met members of the team that would eventually found Madrid-based AI dubbing platform — and Boost Capital rising star — DubMe.io. Investing in a company at the pre-seed or Seed A round, he said, means betting on the team.

DeepL Plants Flag on iPhone, RWS Stock Puzzle

"Florian and Esther discuss the language industry news of the week, with DeepL becoming the first third-party translation app users can set as default on the iPhone, a position gained by navigating Apple’s developer requirements that others like Google Translate have yet to meet.

Florian and Esther examine RWS’s mid-year trading update, which triggered a steep 40% share price drop despite stable revenue, healthy profits, and manageable debt.

On the partnerships front, the duo covers multiple collaborations: Acclaro and Phrase co-funded a new Solutions Architect role, Unbabel entered a strategic partnership with Acclaro, and Phrase partnered with Clearly Local in Shanghai. "

Denmark Says Post-Editing Is Not Translation

"A passage taken from a statement (in Danish) published in April 2025 by the Danish Translators’ Association and the Danish Authors’ Society says that “some people have wrongly received public lending money for books where they were listed as translators. In these instances, no real translation work was done; instead, they only edited text that was already translated by a machine.”
According to the European Council of Literary Translators Associations (CEATL), the two associations, along with the Danish Publishers Association, have reached an industry-wide agreement regarding crediting practices for translators and AI translation post-editors.

EU Language Law with Professor Stefaan van der Jeught

"Stefaan van der Jeught, Professor of EU Constitutional Law at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and a Press Officer at the Court of Justice of the European Union, joins SlatorPod to talk about the complex relationship between language and law in the EU.
Stefaan outlines the historical evolution of EU language policy, from French-only founding treaties to the gradual inclusion of all member state languages. Despite formal equality, institutions largely define their own internal language regimes, leading to fragmented and often English-centric practices.
Stefaan’s book EU Language Law, now in its second edition, examines these issues in depth.

What Are Language Solutions Integrators and Language Technology Platforms?

"Florian and Esther welcome Slator’s Anna Wyndham and Alex Edwards to SlatorPod to explain the rationale behind the new industry framework introduced in the Slator 2025 Language Industry Market Report.
Drawing from the flagship report and echoing the buzz of SlatorCon London, the team explains why the traditional labels, Language Service Providers (LSPs) and Translation Management Systems (TMSs), no longer capture the scope and complexity of the evolving market. Instead, Slator has introduced two new terms: Language Solutions Integrators (LSIs) and Language Technology Platforms (LTPs).
SlatorPod breaks down new industry terms, Language Solutions Integrators (LSIs) and Language Technology Platforms (LTPs), reflecting the AI-driven evolution of language services."

Alibaba and Meta Face Off in Simultaneous AI Translation

"Two recent research papers — one from a team at Alibaba and Xiamen University, the other from Meta AI —- proposed different ways to improve simultaneous AI translation (SiMT): by adapting large language models (LLMs) for real-time use, and by extending translation systems with a lightweight streaming module.
The Alibaba and Xiamen University researchers introduced a method called EAST (Efficient and Adaptive Simultaneous Translation), which enables LLMs to handle streaming input.

The BLS estimated about 78,300 jobs in 2023, with nearly one-third (32%) of those being self-employed. (Data on their earnings was not included in the OOH.)
