DENVER - ColoradoDesk -- International AI SEO expert Chris Raulf, founder and CEO of Boulder SEO Marketing, was cited in a new article from the Chartered Institute of Linguists, the United Kingdom's Royal Charter body for languages and linguists. Founded in 1910 and granted its Royal Charter in 2005, it is incorporated by the Crown, alongside bodies like the Chartered Institute of Marketing. The article examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping the translation profession and what separates struggling practitioners from those thriving.

Raulf, who began his career with a decade in localization before moving into search and now hosts the AI SEO Insighter Podcast, was asked whether AI is ending translation work or changing it.

Old Translators Never Die, They Just Diversify

It was written by Emma Gledhill, Head of Localization at Avaloq, a Fellow and Council member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and Chair of its Membership Committee. Drawing on thirty years in the profession, Gledhill argues that translation is not disappearing but converging with localization, UX writing, content strategy, and AI supervision. Raulf's contribution addresses the identity question underneath that shift. He observes that the people struggling most defined themselves by the task. The ones thriving redefined themselves by the expertise underneath it.

"I watched this happen once already in localization, and it is happening again now in search," said Raulf. "The skill was never the task itself. It was knowing whether the output in front of you is right or wrong and why, and that is exactly what machines cannot do. Anyone who built a career on that judgment has more room to move than they think."

The parallel between translation and search is not incidental. Both fields spent two years absorbing generative AI, and the practitioners keeping their footing treat AI output as a draft requiring expert review rather than a finished product. It is the argument behind Boulder SEO Marketing's human-driven AI-assisted approach to search.
