200 Languages and a New Reasoning Model: Translated Redefines Translation AI Quality With Lara

• The new model, Lara Think, achieves an average human evaluation grade 40% higher than the baseline model.
• Contextual understanding, custom instructions, and glossary support now apply to 200 languages, including low-resource ones, resulting in up to 76% improvement in quality.
• New languages are immediately available across enterprise workflows and professional translation software.

ROME, November 2025 – Translated, a leader in AI-powered language solutions, announced that Lara, its translation AI, now supports 200 languages and introduced a new reasoning model, Lara Think. The latter improves translation quality by achieving an average human evaluation grade 40% higher than the baseline model, approaching single-pass human translation quality in the most widely spoken languages for user-generated content.

This milestone paves the way toward universal understanding, empowering enterprises and language professionals to deliver fluent, accurate translations to 99.7% of the world’s population by supporting the official languages of the countries where they live. With this release, Translated is unlocking the world’s latent demand for translation.

Launched one year ago in 11 languages, Lara now supports contextual understanding, custom instructions, adaptation, and glossaries across a broad global set of languages. By extending this capability to low-resource languages, Lara strengthens organizations' ability to operate in underrepresented yet fast-growing markets. New languages include:

• Africa: Hausa, Shona, Swahili, Xhosa, Zulu
• India: Gujarati, Hindi, Telugu
• Asia: Azerbaijani, Georgian, Kurdish, Tagalog

Building on initial tests where Lara outperformed popular MT systems and LLMs, this update delivers further gains in performance, significantly outperforming previous, most recent
state-of-the-art commercial systems across the most spoken languages. Internal tests show an average 25% improvement in translation quality and up to 76% for low-resource and underrepresented languages.

The new reasoning model, Lara Think, allows enterprises to increase go-to-market speed by 50%. It reduces errors by 50–60%, achieving an average grade in human evaluations that is 40% higher than the baseline mode. Lara Think delivers translations in under 10 seconds and at a cost similar to professional translations, providing a viable solution for contexts with a latent demand for high-quality content delivered at a pace that exceeds human capabilities.
