Latest update (11-11 19:00): OpenRouter explains its self-correcting localization system for its website

Overview: OpenRouter's blog explains how it localizes its website: a daily job finds changed English strings, translates them with GPT-6.1 Sol, checks the output in code, and uses a second model call to verify that the meaning matches the English. Strings that fail checks are retried with the failure reasons attached. Reader reports are turned into glossary rules, style notes, or test cases. The post says a full retranslation of 16,918 strings into 7 languages costs about $460 with verification included. These figures come from OpenRouter's own post.
