A translation app and API from Translated that pairs context-aware machine translation with an optional reasoning step and three style modes — Faithful, Fluid, and Creative. Translates text, documents, audio, and images from one shared character quota, with web, mobile, CLI, and MCP access. Trained specifically on professional translation data rather than repurposed from a general-purpose LLM.
