Lionbridge

KKR-owned translation, localisation, testing and AI-data provider

Overview

Lionbridge is a US-based localisation company that says it has created global content for more than 25 years.[5] Nimdzi ranked it seventh with 2025 revenue of US$513.9 million, which is a Nimdzi estimate rather than a company-verified figure. Nimdzi notes that ownership transferred from H.I.G. Capital to KKR, a deal it attributes to investor preference for predictable earnings.[1] Lionbridge’s services include AI and machine translation with human quality review, translation of software, video, websites and regulated content, interpreting in more than 380 languages, functional testing, games services, and AI data services drawing on a community it puts at more than half a million experts.[5] It is often used for large technology and life-sciences localisation programmes.
