Index-Translate family offers multilingual translation across text, speech, and long documents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced Index-Translate, a family of multilingual translation models designed for various tasks including text, speech, controlled dubbing, and long-document translation. The models come in three sizes (2B, 9B, and 35B-A3B) and support 150 languages. Evaluations indicate that Index-Translate models achieve performance comparable to larger, frontier translation models, with specialized components like Index-Echo for speech translation and Index-Homura for dubbing demonstrating competitive results against existing end-to-end and omni models.
