Key points

  • Sakana Translate is a free web app with three modes: Translate, Proofread, and Ask, supporting Japanese, English, and Chinese.

  • The tool achieved competitive XCOMET-XL scores on WMT 2024 data, with strengths in handling honorifics, cultural concepts, slang, and register.
  • No public API is available yet; enterprise features like SSO, audit logs, and on-premises deployment are on the roadmap.
