Translated

Translated is one of the most distinctive players in the global professional translation landscape: founded in 1999 in Rome by Marco Trombetti and Isabelle Andrieu, it has spent 25 years building a hybrid infrastructure that combines artificial and human intelligence to deliver translation and localisation services at industrial scale — with quality that automated systems alone cannot yet guarantee across all contexts. Translated's most significant technology project is ModernMT — an adaptive machine translation system that learns from context and improves continuously through feedback from human translators — which in 2025 is evolving into the next-generation Lara platform, a domain-specific LLM for translation with support for documents, images, and audio. ModernMT will be sunset by 2026. The company's stated 2025 ambition is to harness 20 million GPU hours to approach "language singularity" — the point at which automatic translation reaches human quality across all contexts. Translated operates with a network of over 300,000 certified human translators and serves clients in over 200 countries — tech companies, media, e-commerce, international institutions — requiring localisation across hundreds of language combinations. The startup has remained independent and Italian in a market where consolidation is frequent, representing a rare case of technological excellence in translation with deep roots in the Roman ecosystem.
