ModernMT is built around adaptive, context-aware translation for professional workflows. It learns in real time from translation memories and post-edits, considers document-level context rather than single sentences, and integrates natively with CAT tools. Google and DeepL deliver strong generic quality but do not adapt instantly to user corrections or a specific project's terminology without separate custom-model training.
ModernMT supports more than 200 languages and over 40,000 language pairs, including many low-resource pairs. Coverage includes all major business languages plus regional variants such as Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and traditional and simplified Chinese.
Human-in-the-Loop combines ModernMT's adaptive engine with professional post-editing by Translated's network of vetted linguists. The engine produces the first draft, human translators refine it, and every correction feeds back into the adaptive layer to improve quality for that account on future jobs.
