translated/lara-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Lara Translate, enabling professional translation capabilities with support for language detection, context-aware translations, translation memories, and glossaries.
Lara leverages Translation Language Models (T-LMs) trained on billions of professionally translated segments, delivering domain-specific translations that capture cultural nuances and industry terminology that general-purpose LLMs often miss.
