Florian and Esther discuss the language industry news of the week, with 
Slator’s latest Translation as a Feature (TaaF) Report, which explores how AI 
translation is becoming an integral feature in enterprise technology.
Florian talks about Reddit’s success with machine translation (MT). By localizing 
content into French, the social media platform quadrupled daily active users in 
France, demonstrating the high ROI of investing millions in AI-driven 
localization each quarter.
In an M&A corner, Esther discusses 
Wolfestone’s acquisition of TauRho Transcribes, beefing up Wolfestone’s 
offerings in transcription and life sciences. She also covers TransPerfect’s fourth 
acquisition of 2024 with 
Plint selling its Netherlands-based media localization studio to the Super 
Agency.
