In celebration of Haitian Heritage Month, MultiLingual Magazine brings together leading voices from the Haitian linguistic and cultural community to reflect on the richness, resilience, and global impact of Haitian identity.

A meaningful conversation with Marleen Julien (Creole Solutions), Junior Mesamours (JR Language Services), and Websder Corneille (Indiana University), moderated by MultiLingual CEO Eddie Arrieta.

Marco Trombetti, CEO and Co-Founder of Translated, discusses the latest updates to LARA—their large language model-powered translation system—and how it's reshaping expectations around adaptation, speed, and context in machine translation. Marco also walks us through the current state of AI agents, their interoperability challenges, and what MCP protocol adoption by major players means for the future.

We explore how localization teams can leverage LARA’s new Team Plan and API to enhance both internal workflows and enterprise-wide communication, and how the rise of agents could automate not just translation, but localization project management itself.
