Founded in 2012 in Tel Aviv, Israel, Bablic emerged to address the complexities of website localization for small and medium-sized businesses. The company was established by co-founders Roi Ronn and Ishai Jaffe, with Gabriele Manasse later leading as CEO. Bablic secured $100K in seed funding through two rounds in 2012 and 2013 from investors including Elevator, 8200 EISP, and Wadi Ventures. In a significant milestone, Unbabel, an AI-powered Language Operations platform, acquired Bablic on June 1, 2023, to enhance its website translation capabilities and drive multilingual SEO for customers.
Bablic operates as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to simplify and automate the website translation process. Its primary clients are businesses of all sizes seeking to expand their global reach by making their websites multilingual without requiring coding or technical expertise. The business model is subscription-based, with tiered pricing plans that offer varying levels of features, such as the number of translated languages and page views. The platform generates revenue by providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional, cumbersome, and expensive localization methods.
The core of Bablic's service is its user-friendly visual editor, which allows clients to translate their websites almost instantly. A user can simply paste a snippet of code into their website's header to get started. The platform offers a choice between immediate machine translation, the option to use one's own translators, or access to professional translation partners. Key features include the ability to edit translations directly on a live version of the site, replace images and videos for different locales, and customize the style to maintain the site's original design. Crucially, Bablic is built to be SEO-friendly, supporting translated URLs and meta tags to improve visibility in local search engines, which helps drive international traffic and sales. The system also automatically detects and updates new content, ensuring that all language versions remain synchronized.
