What is Translated ModernMT?

ModernMT is an open-source neural machine translation platform designed for developers and organisations that need accurate, context-aware translation capabilities. Unlike static translation engines, ModernMT adapts to your content over time, learning from corrections and terminology preferences to improve quality for your specific domain. The tool is particularly useful for content teams, software localisation, and businesses handling multilingual material at scale. Because it's open-source, you can self-host it, integrate it into your infrastructure, and customise it without vendor lock-in. ModernMT handles both API-based translation workflows and can be trained on your own data to specialise in industry-specific language.
