Leading AI-powered Language Operations (LangOps) platform Unbabel, has announced its acquisition of Bablic, a Tel Aviv-based cloud-enabled solution for website localization and translation management.

This strategic move allows Unbabel to enhance its ability to adapt websites for a global audience, providing quality-checked, localized language while reducing costs, labor and project completion time.

The integration of Bablic's website translation capabilities will enable Unbabel users to easily identify errors and ensure their websites are ready for customers.

The importance of globalization in business cannot be overstated, with 95% of the world's consumers residing outside of the US.

These improvements contribute to enhanced sales performance and improved customer acquisition.

By incorporating Bablic into its platform, Unbabel equips customers with the ability to effortlessly translate their websites, enabling global sales expansion, improved SEO, increased website traffic and higher conversion rates.
