English to Tatar AI translation quality, cost and speed

What it takes to automate translation from English into Tatar against 10 requirements in three levels: the solutions that meet them, what they cost and how fast they are, from the 2026 benchmark of 57 AI models and MT engines.

How good is AI translation from English to Tatar?

Key findings on English to Tatar translation

  1. 1Near missThe two-step solution (translation + post-edit) on Google Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview meets every Standard requirement in Tatar but general translation quality, at $31.47 per million characters. Its translations have 27.7 weighted errors per 1,000 words, above the bar of general translation quality.See the data →
  2. 2Level step-upThe cheapest solution that meets every Basic requirement in Tatar is the three-step solution (translation + LQA + repair) on Google Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, at $610 per million characters. It misses formatting, so it does not meet the Standard requirements.See the data →
  3. 3Cost driverIn Tatar the cost follows the steps. The one-step solution on Anthropic Claude Fable 5 costs $32.97 per million characters, the two-step one (translation + post-edit) $74.12 and the three-step one (translation + LQA + repair) $645, the only one of the three that meets general translation quality.See the data →

Find English to Tatar translation solutions for your requirements

Pick a quality level, or your own requirements, bars and constraints, to see the shortlisted solutions that meet them in Tatar, with a column for each requirement you select. Under Optimize for, choose which of them comes first: the one with the fewest total errors, the lowest cost or the shortest time. Click a column heading to sort by it.

The shortlisted solutions on 11 models, with their Intento LQA results. Total errors per 1,000 words add the weighted general translation quality errors (minor 1, major 5, critical 10) to the missed glossary terms, sentences in the wrong register, tag errors and sentences that fail gender neutrality, each counted once. Formatting counts as met or missed and does not add to the total errors. The models that did not make the shortlist have automatic scores only: the shortlist. Inconclusive: the three LQA judges agree on fewer than 90% of the sentences of the solution, so it has no general translation quality result (09-02). Gender neutrality: the Advanced requirements count the two best solutions of the language, with the gender-neutrality agent where they need it. The results of the other solutions are shown for information.

Trade-offs in English to Tatar translation

Trade-off

Two three-step solutions (translation + LQA + repair) meet every Standard requirement in Tatar. The one on Anthropic Claude Fable 5 has 10.5 total errors per 1,000 words and costs $645 per million characters, against 16.2 and $759 for the one on Translated Lara 2. The one on Translated Lara 2 is faster, at 255 against 348 seconds per 1,000 words. So optimizing for quality or cost selects Anthropic Claude Fable 5, and optimizing for latency selects Translated Lara 2.

Constraints

The shortlist for Tatar holds three real-time solutions, under 2 seconds per text across the languages we timed: the one-step ones on DeepL Next Gen, Translated Lara 2 and OpenAI gpt-oss-120b. None of them meet the Basic requirements. Into Tatar, the ones on Translated Lara 2 and OpenAI gpt-oss-120b take 2.2 and 2.8 seconds per 1,000 words, so a time limit of 2 seconds per 1,000 words leaves only the one on DeepL Next Gen, at 0.7.

Level step-up

The Advanced requirements add gender neutrality, and in Tatar meeting them does not raise the cost or the time. Translations from the two three-step solutions (translation + LQA + repair) that meet every Standard requirement have 100% of the sentences about people gender-neutral without the gender-neutrality agent. So the same two solutions meet every Advanced requirement, at the same cost and time as for the Standard ones.

Optimize for selects one of the solutions that meet the level: the one with the fewest total errors, the lowest cost or the shortest time. Where no solution meets the level, the card shows the available solution with the fewest total errors and what it misses. Total errors count every requirement with countable errors.

Level step-up

Meeting the requirements of any level in Tatar takes three steps (translation + LQA + repair). Under the Basic requirements, optimizing for quality and cost selects Google Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, and for latency Translated Lara 2. The Standard requirements remove the solution on Google Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, so optimizing for quality and cost selects Anthropic Claude Fable 5. The Advanced requirements remove neither of the other two, and both meet gender neutrality without the gender-neutrality agent.

Every model we got a translation from, as the shortlist compared it: off the shelf, without context in the request, or adjusted, with it. Ranks among 27 models, with each model family counted once, and the top 10 in bold. The similarity rank combines LaBSE and Cohere embed v3, higher is better on both. The scores rank models within this language and are not a requirement result.

Metrics vs LQA

The similarity score, which does not measure fluency, and Intento LQA order the shortlisted solutions differently in Tatar. The score ranks OpenAI GPT-5.5 first and z.ai GLM-5 second, and translations from the one-step solutions on them have 36.9 and 94.6 weighted errors per 1,000 words. Translations from the ones on Google Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, third, and Anthropic Claude Fable 5, fifth, have 30.0 and 33.3 weighted errors per 1,000 words. Nearest the cut in the tail is OpenAI GPT-5.6 Luna, 11th.

Cost driver

A translation into Tatar has a median 0.46 tokens per character over 23 models, 1.8 times as many as English text. Tokens per character do not set the order of the costs. The tokenizer of z.ai GLM-5 produces 0.491 tokens per character of the translation, and the one-step solution on it costs $2.67 per million characters, against 0.383 and $5.45 for Google Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. From the Basic to the Standard requirements, the lowest cost rises from $610 to $645 per million characters, and the Advanced requirements add nothing.

Real-time models are those the shortlist counts as real-time, under 2 seconds per text across the languages we timed. The chart shows the time of each model into Tatar.

Real-time

The six real-time models in Tatar are three MT engines, the LLM-based MT engines DeepL Next Gen and Translated Lara 2, and the open-weight OpenAI gpt-oss-120b. The last three are on the shortlist, and translations from the one-step solutions on them have 90.3, 124.6 and 206.0 weighted errors per 1,000 words. The fastest solution that meets the requirements of each level is the three-step one (translation + LQA + repair) on Translated Lara 2, at 255 seconds per 1,000 words, against 2.2 in one step.

Analysis

For tone of voice in Tatar we check the formal register, with the form of address Сез, and a bar of 100% of the sentences. All 8 shortlisted one-step solutions with a conclusive Intento LQA result meet it, and so do 2 of the other 3. Translations from the one on MoonshotAI Kimi K2.5 have 97.9% of the sentences in the formal register. Tatar has no grammatical gender for persons, so for gender neutrality a translation is neutral by default. It has only to avoid gendered terms and not add a gender the source does not specify.
