ModernMT is an enterprise-grade machine translation technology developed by Translated, whose core feature is its ability to adaptively learn from users' corrections to translations, thereby continuously improving translation quality and fitting professional language workflows.
According to official information, ModernMT is currently evolving into Lara—Translated's next-generation translation platform. Lara is based on a domain-specific Large Language Model and offers higher AI translation quality, supports multilingual processing of text, documents, images, audio, and professional workflows, and has a growing integration ecosystem. ModernMT's technology and team continue into Lara, ModernMT will be discontinued at the end of 2026, and the official team is assisting customers with the transition.
In terms of main capabilities, the information shows that Lara supports more than 200 languages and more than 70 native file formats, provides CAT tool plugins (such as Trados Studio, memoQ), API access, and integrations for Crowdin, Blackbird, n8n, Google Sheets, agents, and various workflows. ModernMT's existing translation memories (TM) and glossaries can be migrated to Lara, and the official team states that no data will be lost; data stored in MyMemory can also be quickly transferred with the team's assistance.
Regarding migration and usage, existing ModernMT API keys can continue to be used until December 31, 2026; users need to generate new keys in Lara's Settings → API Keys before that date and update their integrations. CAT tool users need to uninstall the ModernMT plugin, install the official Lara plugin from the RWS AppStore (Trados) or the memoQ plugin store, and enter the Lara API key; the official step-by-step guide states that this process can be completed within 10 minutes. Users of integrations such as Crowdin, Blackbird, n8n, and Google Sheets need to update their API keys and plan a transition path with the team. For users with custom enterprise agreements or team plans, the official team manually reviews the current configuration and provides a dedicated Lara solution.
Applicable scenarios cover professional language work such as translation, localization workflows, CAT tool-integrated translation, API-automated translation, and document and media translation.
