OneSky is a provider of AI-powered localization solutions, offering tools and services designed to streamline translation workflows through the use of autonomous AI agents.[1] The company specializes in optimizing localization for global digital products and content, helping businesses manage multilingual operations at scale.
Overview
[edit]Initially launched as a cloud-based SaaS platform, OneSky offered a Translation Management System (TMS) combined with human and crowdsourced translation services.[2][3] The platform supported collaborative localization workflows, including integration with computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool and developer-facing APIs.[4][5]
OneSky focuses on integrating AI technologies into localization workflow automation, particularly for software string files used in mobile apps, websites, and games. OneSky introduces cutting-edge multi-agent localization system[6] and copilot localization practice involves:
This workflow combines multiple LLMs to deliver highly accurate translations, way better than single-model setups. It also flags poor AI translations for human editors to refine, reducing both time and cost compared to traditional MTPE.
History
[edit]OneSky was founded in 2011 in Hong Kong by Greg Sung, Kwun-Lok Ng and Fanny Ma.[10] In 2014, the company gained visibility through its work with high-profile apps such as QuizUp and Scribd, helping these platforms expand their user base through localized versions.[11]
In 2018, OneSky transitioned to a fully remote operation, employing staff and linguists across more than 30 countries. The company relocated its headquarters to Singapore in 2020.
OneSky actively participates in major industry events, including the Game Developers Conference (GDC), where it has been listed as an exhibitor.[12] It has also been featured at creative technology festivals such as Myojo Waraku in Japan.[13]
In 2025, Jac Wong was appointed as CEO.[14] That same year, OneSky launched its flagship AI product, the OneSky Localization Agent (OLA), signaling a strategic shift toward AI-enabled localization workflows.[15]
Products and Services
[edit]OneSky Localization Agent (OLA)
[edit]The OneSky Localization Agent (OLA, pronounced "OH-lah") is an AI-based system comprising multiple autonomous agents that collaboratively manage the localization process. It automates the end-to-end workflow, from pre-translation content preparation to post-translation quality assurance and delivery.[16]
Key features of OLA include:
- Workflow Automation: Autonomous handling of content parsing, machine translation, formatting, and error detection.
- Quality Control: Built-in quality assurance features flag machine-generated content requiring human review, ensuring linguistic and cultural accuracy.
- Integration: Compatibility with existing content management and localization systems.
- Target Audience: Designed for product managers, developers, and localization professionals in need of scalable AI-driven solutions.
OLA reflects OneSky's emphasis on leveraging AI to meet evolving market demands for speed, accuracy, and scalability in global product localization.
Human Translation Services
[edit]Before the launch of OLA, OneSky's offerings included:
- A cloud-based TMS supporting collaborative translation projects
- Professional human translation services provided by over 1,000 expert linguists, covering more than 70 languages
- Crowdsourced translation, enabling rapid and budget-conscious localization[17]
- CAT tools aimed at increasing translator productivity and consistency
These services continue to be available, though OneSky's strategic focus has shifted toward AI-based offerings.
Industry and Market Position
[edit]OneSky operates within the localization and translation services industry, competing with both traditional language service providers and emerging AI localization platforms. It is recognized for its early adoption of collaborative and cloud-based tools, as well as for supporting major technology and gaming companies such as Tencent, Epic Games, and Bandai Namco.[18]
OneSky is listed as an example of a collaborative localization partner in the official documentation for Unreal Engine by Epic Games, indicating its integration into industry-standard development pipelines.[19]
An industry guide by MCV/DEVELOP on localization strategies for East Asia, South America, and Europe recognized OneSky as a notable player in the global localization landscape. The article highlighted OneSky's ability to support culturally relevant and linguistically accurate content at scale, further reinforcing its role as a trusted localization partner for expanding into international markets.[20]
Additionally, OneSky has been referenced in case studies by language service providers (LSPs) such as Aploq Translations, highlighting its role as a trusted partner in delivering high-quality localization solutions.[21]
The company's adoption of multi-agent AI architectures aligns with broader trends in AI-assisted translation and automation, positioning it as a key player in the transformation of the localization industry.
