The AI Ready Localizer #9: Ontologies: The Missing Context for Smarter LLMs

A practical guide to building ontologies that feed language models with the structure they need to reason better.

Over the past few weeks I’ve stepped back a little from the screens. More time with family, walks in nature, and a few moments to reconnect with where I come from.

That pause, away from the constant stream of digital noise, also gave me space to reflect on how we work with language models in localization. One thought kept circling back: if we want LLMs to truly support us, we need to get serious about context engineering, and ontologies are one of the sharpest tools we have for that.
