Translated, a leading provider of AI-powered language solutions, is proud to introduce Lara, a new AI architecture for translation that surpasses traditional machine translation and approaches the quality of the best professional translators. Lara is available to individuals and businesses through the Lara Translate online tool and a developer interface for translating texts and documents and providing real-time interpreting. Professional translators can use Lara within Matecat, an online open-source computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool managed by Translated.

Lara goes beyond traditional machine translation by understanding context, explaining its choices, and seeking clarification when ambiguities are detected. These capabilities enable the model to match the quality of top professional translators, making fewer errors than the average translator.

Translate online tool instantly translates not only text but also documents and conversations at the touch of a button, providing individual users with a seamless experience that was once only available to professional clients.

Furthermore, Lara Translate is the first online translation tool to offer direct access to language experts when needed. These specialists can handle complex requests, validate translations with native speakers, ensure web localization and layout, and perform cultural checks to ensure content consistency and adaptability.

Unleashing innovation for developers and fueling R&D with a massive investment

Lara is the first next-generation AI model specifically designed for text processing. Translated has also launched a live interpreter and announced a $100 million investment in the research and development of new multimodal models for next-generation text and speech translation, business localization, and data preservation.

These announcements reinforce Translated's position in the global translation solutions market, following a $30 million investment by the investment firm Ardian in 2021. This investment has enabled Translated to expand its technology globally while maintaining its role as a key player in European innovation.

"This investment aims to strengthen Translated's position as a pioneer in addressing linguistic challenges and driving the translation sector in Europe. While many rely on generic AI models, we've chosen to focus our efforts on what we believe is the most crucial aspect: translation. We've been fortunate to establish our company in Europe, a continent where over 20 languages are used daily, providing an ideal setting to hone our expertise".
Isabelle Andrieu – Translated's Co-founder

A unique and reliable translation system

Lara is available in 200 languages. The online tool Lara Translate currently supports the 11 most commonly used languages and will be gradually rolled out to 200 languages by the end of June 2025.

Translated has also developed an innovative method, Trust Attention, which assesses the reliability of source data, thereby enhancing the accuracy of AI-generated translations.

Today, Translated's advanced technologies and vast global network of professional translators make it a trusted partner for prestigious clients like Uber, Lenovo, Airbnb, and SpaceX.

Lara was trained on a unique translation dataset comprising 25 million translations from top professional translators. This database includes machine translations that have been reviewed and refined by experts, capturing errors, corrections, and the reasoning behind any discrepancies in interpretation. By combining this expertise with advanced contextual understanding, Lara can analyze multiple translation options and refine its results to ensure exceptional precision and clarity. Users can also customize the translation style based on the project’s requirements, whether they prefer a fluid, faithful, or creative approach.

"Lara marks a significant milestone in our mission to empower everyone to understand and be understood in their own language. Language has always been a cornerstone of human evolution, enabling us to understand each other and collaborate toward a brighter future. With the latest advances in AI and the feedback from our customers, we believe that the demand for machine translation could increase by 100 times, while the demand for human translation could increase by 10 times. By fostering global understanding, Lara brings us closer to the next major milestone in human evolution".
Marco Trombetti – Translated's CEO

Lara consistently outperforms the average professional translator in terms of error rate and is rapidly approaching what Translated calls the linguistic singularity. This concept refers to the point where top translators will spend as much time revising an AI-generated translation as they do revising one produced by their human peers. According to initial evaluations, Translated expects to achieve this singularity by the end of 2025 with the release of an even more powerful version of Lara.

Lara is accessible to individuals and teams at laratranslate.com. Companies interested in integrating Lara into their localization processes can reach out to Translated directly.
