A team built and industrialized a large-scale product-description translation pipeline using LLMs to translate millions of product pages into 10+ languages while cutting costs dramatically. They replaced expensive SaaS translation with LLM-based models (proprietary and open-source), ran cost/quality/latency benchmarks to choose models, and automated quality monitoring by using a second LLM as a judge instead of human annotation.
