ATC Language Industry Report Q1 2026
What kind of LSC are you?
Four years into the GenAI era, every language service company has had to answer the same question: are you using AI? By now, the answer is almost universally yes, but how and to what extent AI is deployed varies widely from one business to the next.
This report maps where the language services industry really stands – and helps you to benchmark your own business.
We interviewed LSCs of different sizes, from smaller companies with a dozen employees to some of the top UK (and global) LSCs with hundreds of people on staff and dedicated tech teams.
Our research shows that the field is broadly split into two groups: the Innovators and the Followers – with a possible third group of Power User crystallising. The report covers pathways and opportunities for all three groups.
