Lara translate for memoQ

Lara Translate for memoQ — Context-Aware MT, Real-Time Learning 

Lara Translate is an adaptive machine translation platform built by Translated, a leading language services company with 25+ years of industry expertise. The Lara plugin for memoQ connects Lara’s LLM-powered translation engine directly to memoQ, giving professional translators, LSPs, and enterprise teams a faster, smarter, and more consistent translation workflow. 

How it works with memoQ

Unlike standard MT engines that translate one segment at a time, Lara processes the full source document before producing any output. This document-level context awareness means every segment is informed by the surrounding content, preserving tone, meaning, and terminology throughout. 

Once installed, Lara appears as a native MT provider in memoQ’s Translation Results pane. Translators work exactly as they normally would: confirming segments, working through the document, leveraging translation memories. The difference is that every confirmed segment is instantly sent to Lara and updates the connected TM in real time, so future suggestions keep getting better, automatically. 

Key features 

• Document-level context awareness: Lara reads the full source text to generate each segment translation, improving consistency across long and complex documents. 

• Self-learning MT: Every confirmed segment updates the connected Lara Translation Memory in real time. No manual sync required. 

• Translation Memory integration: Connect one or more TMs in Use or Use & Update mode directly from the MT profile settings. 

• 200+ supported languages: Including major European, Asian, and emerging language pairs, with strong performance across all. 

• All memoQ file formats supported: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, XLIFF, InDesign, SRT, PO, and all other formats natively supported by memoQ. 

• 24-hour usage cache: Re-translations within a 24-hour window are not charged again, making review cycles cost-free. 

• Enterprise-grade security: All communication is encrypted via API calls. No content is stored locally by the plugin. Lara is ISO 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 17100 certified, SOC2, GDPR-compliant, and PCI-compliant. 

Who is it for?

• Professional translators (freelance and in-house) who want faster, higher-quality MT inside their existing memoQ workflow. 

• LSPs and translation agencies managing multi-translator projects where shared TMs and terminology consistency are critical. 

• Localization managers and content teams responsible for maintaining brand voice and terminology governance at scale. 

• Enterprise and institutional teams, including legal, compliance, academic, and public-sector organizations, where output quality and data security are non-negotiable. 

Why Lara?

Internal evaluations by Translated show that Lara delivers approximately 30% higher translation quality compared to previous-generation adaptive MT systems across 200 languages. Beyond quality scores, users consistently report fewer repetitive corrections, faster project delivery, and smoother consistency across multi-translator workflows. 

For teams already using memoQ, the integration requires no change to existing workflows. Install the plugin, create a Lara MT profile, and start translating. The learning happens automatically in the background.
