ModernMT
Adaptive neural MT API from Italy's Translated that learns from translation memories and corrections; being replaced by Lara, sunsets end of 2026.
Only relevant to existing customers, since ModernMT is being folded into Lara and API keys work only until 2026-12-31. The Enterprise API licence is listed from $15 per 1M characters, the localisation-team licence is $100/M, and individual translators pay $25/month for 150k words. Neither the data-processing region nor a DPA is documented on the legacy site, so new projects are better compared against Lara directly.
