Translated: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Translated is a language-services company that, according to its website, has delivered translations since 1999 and combines human translators with AI. Its core technology is Lara, an AI translation solution available as the Lara Translate platform, as Lara AI inside professional CAT tools, and as APIs. TranslationOS is a platform for enterprise localisation, and T-Rank matches content with suitable translators. The company also created Matecat and ModernMT; according to the ModernMT site, ModernMT is evolving into Lara and will be sunset by the end of 2026.

The provider is Translated S.r.l., based in Rome, Italy, so in the EU; no foreign parent is mentioned. The Lara privacy policy notes EU hosting and refers to a list of sub-processors and data locations for details. European organisations can therefore choose a company under European jurisdiction for translation services, but should still review the sub-processors behind the AI services.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Translated

Translated is headquartered in IT and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Translated scores best on data residency.

Translated is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Translated together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
