Internationalization of Agentic AI Systems

This post details the process and challenges of internationalizing LinkedIn's Hiring Assistant, an agentic AI product, for French and German markets. It highlights the difficulties of on-the-fly text generation compared to traditional software localization, focusing on linguistic nuances like gender agreement, formal/informal address, noun capitalization, and number/date formats. The solution involves a shared rubric framework to capture language-specific rules, per-language Low-rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapters, and an adaptive model strategy to reduce serving costs while maintaining native quality. The system now supports French and German, with a roadmap for more languages.
