What It Does

Lara is Translated's next-generation AI translation platform, evolved from ModernMT. Powered by a domain-specific Large Language Model (LLM), Lara delivers professional-grade translation across 200+ languages for text, documents, images, and audio. It combines high AI quality with adaptability features that let translations learn from your glossaries, translation memories, context, instructions, and style guides.

Who It's For

Lara serves professional translators, localization teams, API developers, and enterprises managing multilingual workflows. It integrates directly into CAT tools (Trados Studio, memoQ), supports automation workflows (Crowdin, Blackbird, n8n, Google Sheets), and provides developer-friendly APIs and SDKs for custom integrations.

Typical Workflows

Professional translators use Lara through CAT tool plugins to maintain translation memory consistency while accessing higher AI quality. Developers integrate Lara's API into localization pipelines, agent workflows, and automation tools. Enterprise teams connect Lara to existing systems via integrations with Crowdin, Blackbird, n8n, Google Sheets, and other workflow platforms.

Migration from ModernMT

Existing ModernMT users receive guided migration support with no data loss. Translation memories transfer automatically, CAT tool plugins swap in minutes, and ModernMT API keys remain functional until December 31, 2026, providing ample transition time. The Lara team reviews each customer's setup personally to ensure smooth migration of assets, integrations, and commercial agreements.

What Differentiates It

Unlike general-purpose translation tools, Lara's domain-specific LLM is purpose-built for professional multilingual work. It extends beyond text translation to handle documents in their native formats, images with layout preservation, and audio files—all while maintaining the adaptability features (glossaries, TMs, context, instructions) that professional workflows require. The platform combines CAT tool integration, developer APIs, and workflow automation in a unified ecosystem.
