We at Lilt are saddened to witness the events that have unfolded in Ukraine over the past weeks, and we unequivocally condemn Russia’s acts of aggression. To our Ukrainian colleagues, our Ukrainian translator community, and all those with ties to the country, our support for you is unconditional.
Here at Lilt, we’re focused on providing the highest quality translations possible, and that requires a large professional network of translators. We've spent years building a community of experienced and quality translators, and we're excited to showcase the incredible individuals helping to lead the charge in building successful global experiences. Much like our Liltonian Spotlight series, we're sharing the backgrounds of the talented professionals in our community in our newest series, the Translator Spotlight Series.
