Lara Translate
LLM-based translation API from Italy's Translated (successor to ModernMT) with context, style and translation-memory adaptation.
Lara replaces ModernMT, whose API keys stop working at the end of 2026. API and CAT-tool usage are separate from the UI allowance: $24.99 per million characters on Pro or $19.99 on Team. Higher Team tiers add UI characters only. Documents have a 20,000-character billing minimum. Processing uses AWS in the EU or US, with no documented self-serve EU-only option.
