Now supporting 22 Indian languages and structured long-form text
Download the model from Hugging Face, try it on our playground, and build with our APIs.
Making content available across languages has been a key consideration for digital accessibility. While translation systems have continued to evolve, there remains work to be done in three broad directions - one, support for more languages; two, support for more natural translation of stylised (such as idiomatic) long-form text; and three, support for structured text in different formats. These formats could be varied depending on the source such as a math textbook with equations, or a web page with HTML code around content, or an output of digitising an image with potential OCR-related errors.
Although multilingual large language models have demonstrated the ability to do long-form translation, their performance on Indian languages still trails behind. At Sarvam, we’re working to address this by focusing on the 22 Scheduled Indian languages, with an emphasis on more natural translation while supporting long-form structured content.
We are happy to share that, in partnership with AI4Bharat, we have made a significant step forward in this with our latest model, Sarvam-Translate. Trained by fine-tuning Gemma3-4B-IT, Sarvam-Translate supports 22 Indian languages - Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayalam, Punjabi, Assamese, Maithili, Santali, Kashmiri, Nepali, Sindhi, Dogri, Konkani, Manipuri (Meitei), Bodo, Sanskrit. It supports paragraph-level translation for 22 languages, and supports translating diverse structured content for 15 languages.
In human evaluation by language experts, Sarvam-Translate is identified to be significantly better than much larger models such as Gemma3-27B-IT, Llama4 Scout, and Llama-3.1-405B-FP8. Further, in automated evaluation on ability to conform to structured long-form content, Sarvam-Translate shows high accuracy (> 4.9 over 5) for 15 languages.
Sarvam-Translate is available to try out and use in your applications on our API store. Further, to enable others to use and build upon the model, we are releasing an open-weights model on Hugging Face. This continues our commitment to build in the open for enabling a sovereign AI ecosystem for India.Example Use-Cases of Sarvam-Translate

Example Use-Cases of Sarvam-Translate
Below, we share examples to highlight the different ways in which Sarvam-Translate could be used.
Translating web pages without breaking the HTML structure
Instead of extracting/reinserting text around tags, Sarvam-Translate preserves the HTML structure and only translates the visible text content.
Translating web content is one of the central use-cases of translation models. However, extracting, translating, and reinserting text is often error-prone and tedious. Sarvam-Translate streamlines this by translating only the visible textual content, preserving all HTML tags and structure. As seen in the image below various elements including emphasis etc are maintained in the text.

Translating LaTeX documents while preserving syntax
Academic and technical documents in LaTeX combine human-readable text with formatting and command syntax. Maintaining the integrity of LaTeX code during translation is challenging. Sarvam-Translate identifies and translates only the human-readable content while preserving LaTeX syntax and structure. In the example below tables, and formatting are retained. Also notice the model's choice of retaining author names in cited papers in English.

Translating chemistry documents
Chemistry documents often mix specialised chemical notations and equations. Ensuring these remain unaltered during translation requires fine control. Sarvam-Translate accurately translates the surrounding text while preserving chemical equations and formatting. Also notation such as x and y are retained in Roman characters.

Translating idioms, slang and cultural references
Idiomatic expressions, figures of speech, and culturally specific phrases often lose meaning when translated literally. We find that Sarvam-Translate often produces translations that preserve the original tone, intent, and nuance. Notice in the following how several idiomatic phrases are correctly translated. For example, 'being behind the eight ball' an analogy from the game of pool meaning being in trouble is translated appropriately as 'జయేష్ అప్పటికే చాలా కష్టాల్లో ఉన్నాడు' inTelugu.
Input
"The Last Straw"
It was a Monday morning, and Jayesh was already behind the eight ball. His alarm hadn't gone off, he'd spilled coffee on his only clean shirt, and to top it all off, his car decided to kick the bucket right outside his driveway.
"Figures," he muttered, throwing his hands up. "When it rains, it pours."
Jayesh worked as an assistant manager at a downtown hardware store, and today was make-or-break. The regional manager was coming by, and if Jayesh didn't put his best foot forward, he'd be out on his ear.
By the time he arrived—twenty minutes late and sweaty as a pig in July—his boss, Lalita, was already breathing down his neck.
"You're skating on thin ice, Jayesh," she warned. "One more slip-up, and you're toast."
Jayesh bit his tongue. He needed this job. Rent wasn't going to pay itself, and with the way things were going, he was already robbing Pradeep to pay Pavan.
To his credit, Jayesh kept his nose to the grindstone all day. He bent over backwards to make sure everything ran like clockwork. The store looked like a million bucks. Even Lalita raised an eyebrow.
"Not bad," she said. "Maybe you're not such a lost cause after all."
Jayesh exhaled, finally feeling like he could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But just as he started to breathe easy, disaster struck. A kid knocked over a shelf of paint cans, turning aisle seven into a rainbow swamp. Jayesh rushed over, only to slip and fall flat on his back—right in front of the regional manager.
That was the last straw.
Lalita helped him up, trying not to laugh. "Well, if you're gonna go out, might as well go out with a splash."
Jayesh blinked, half-expecting to get the axe then and there. But to his surprise, the regional manager chuckled.
"Hey, at least he's hands-on."
Jayesh cracked a grin. Maybe, just maybe, things were finally turning around.
"ది లాస్ట్ స్ట్రా"
అది ఒక సోమవారం ఉదయం, జయేష్ అప్పటికే చాలా కష్టాల్లో ఉన్నాడు. అతని అలారం మోగలేదు, తనకున్న ఒకే ఒక్క శుభ్రమైన చొక్కాపై కాఫీ చిందించాడు, అంతేకాకుండా అతని కారు అతని ఇంటి ముందున్న డ్రైవ్వేలో పేలిపోయింది.
"అవును," అని అతను విసుక్కుంటూ చేతులు పైకెత్తాడు. "అన్నీ ఒకేసారి జరిగాయి."
జయేష్ డౌన్టౌన్ హార్డ్వేర్ స్టోర్లో అసిస్టెంట్ మేనేజర్గా పనిచేసేవాడు, ఈ రోజు చాలా కీలకం. రీజినల్ మేనేజర్ వస్తున్నారు, జయేష్ తన శాయశక్తులా ప్రయత్నించకపోతే, అతను ఉద్యోగం కోల్పోతాడు.
అతను వచ్చే సమయానికి - ఇరవై నిమిషాలు ఆలస్యంగా, జూలై నెలలో ఎంతో చెమటలు పడుతూ - అతని బాస్ లలిత అప్పటికే అతని వెనుక ఉండి ఊపిరి పీల్చుకుంటోంది.
"జయేష్, నువ్వు ప్రమాదంలో ఉన్నావు," అని ఆమె హెచ్చరించింది. "మరో పొరపాటు జరిగితే, అంతే సంగతులు."
జయేష్ తన నాలుకను బిగించాడు. అతనికి ఈ ఉద్యోగం చాలా అవసరం. అద్దె కూడా సరిపోవడం లేదు, పరిస్థితులు చూస్తుంటే పవన్కు డబ్బులు ఇవ్వడానికి అతను ప్రదీప్ను దోచుకుంటున్నాడు.
అతని అదృష్టం బాగుంది, జయేష్ రోజంతా శ్రద్ధగా పనిచేశాడు. ప్రతిదీ సక్రమంగా జరిగేలా చూసుకోవడానికి తన శక్తి మేరకు ప్రయత్నించాడు. ఆ దుకాణం చాలా అందంగా కనిపించింది. లలిత కూడా ఆశ్చర్యపోయింది.
"మరీ చెడ్డగా లేదు," అని ఆమె అంది. "బహుశా నువ్వు ఇంకా పనికిమాలిన వాడివి కాకపోవచ్చు."
జయేష్ ఊపిరి పీల్చుకున్నాడు, చివరకు ఏదో ఒక వెలుగు కనిపిస్తున్నట్లు అనిపించింది.
అతను ఊపిరి పీల్చుకోవడం మొదలుపెట్టగానే, ఒక విపత్తు సంభవించింది. ఒక పిల్లవాడు పెయింట్ డబ్బాల అరను పడగొట్టాడు, ఏడవ వరుసను ఇంద్రధనస్సులా మార్చాడు. జయేష్ వెంటనే అక్కడికి పరిగెత్తాడు, కానీ కాలు జారి వెనక్కి పడ్డాడు - అది కూడా రీజినల్ మేనేజర్ ముందు.
అది చివరి గడ్డిపరక.
లలిత నవ్వకుండా అతన్ని లేవనెత్తింది. "సరే, నువ్వు బయటికి వెళ్లబోతున్నావు, కాబట్టి ఒక పెద్ద శబ్దంతో వెళ్లవచ్చు."
జయేష్ కళ్ళు తెరిచాడు, వెంటనే ఉద్యోగం పోతుందేమో అని అనుకున్నాడు. కానీ ఆశ్చర్యకరంగా, రీజినల్ మేనేజర్ నవ్వింది.
"హే, కనీసం అతను పనిలో శ్రద్ధగా ఉన్నాడు."
జయేష్ చిరునవ్వు నవ్వాడు. బహుశా, పరిస్థితులు చివరకు మారుతున్నాయేమో.
Translating folk tales while preserving cultural nuance
Narrative text such as folk tales and fiction carries cultural depth and stylistic nuance. Capturing this while maintaining readability across languages is complex. Our model handles narrative flow, cultural expressions, and stylistic elements to produce faithful translations. For example, in Maithili the phrase "One who interferes in other's work" has been translated to "जे दोसरक काजमे टाँग अड़ाबैत अछि" which is an appropriate use of a common idiom.
Input
The Monkey and the Wedge
"One, who interferes in other's work, surely comes to grief".
There was once a merchant who employed many carpenters and masons to build a temple in his garden. Regularly, they would start work in the morning; and take a break for the mid-day meals, and return to resume work till evening.
One day, a group of monkey arrived at the site of the building and watched the workers leaving for their mid-day meals.
One of the carpenters was sawing a huge log of wood. Since, it was only half-done; he placed a wedge in between to prevent the log from closing up. He then went off along with the other workers for his meal.
When all the workers were gone, the monkeys came down from the trees and started jumping around the site, and playing with the instruments.
There was one monkey, who got curious about the wedge placed between the log. He sat down on the log, and having placed himself in between the half-split log, caught hold of the wedge and started pulling at it.
All of a sudden, the wedge came out. As a result, the half-split log closed in and the monkey got caught in the gap of the log.
As was his destiny, he was severely wounded.
The wise indeed say: One, who interferes in other's work, surely comes to grief.
বানর ও কীলক
"অন্যের কাজে হাত দিলে, সে তো বিপদে পড়বেই"।
একদা এক বণিকের বাগানে একটি মন্দির নির্মাণের জন্য অনেক কাঠমিস্ত্রি ও রাজমিস্ত্রিকে নিযুক্ত করেছিলেন। তারা নিয়মিত সকালে কাজ শুরু করতেন; এবং মধ্যাহ্নভোজনের জন্য বিরতি নিতেন, এবং সন্ধ্যায় আবার কাজে যোগ দিতেন।
একদিন একদল বানর নির্মাণস্থলের কাছে এসে দেখল শ্রমিকরা মধ্যাহ্নভোজনের জন্য চলে যাচ্ছে।
কাঠমিস্ত্রীদের একজন বিশাল একটি কাঠ কাটছিলেন। যেহেতু এটি কেবল অর্ধেক কাটা ছিল; তাই তিনি কাঠটিকে বন্ধ হওয়া থেকে আটকাতে মাঝখানে একটি কীলক বসিয়ে দিলেন। তারপর তিনি অন্যান্য শ্রমিকদের সাথে খেতে চলে গেলেন।
যখন সমস্ত শ্রমিক চলে গেল, বানররা গাছ থেকে নেমে এসে সাইটে লাফাতে শুরু করল, এবং যন্ত্রপাতির সাথে খেলা শুরু করল।
সেখানে একটি বানর ছিল, যে কাঠের মধ্যে রাখা কীলকটি সম্পর্কে কৌতূহলী হয়েছিল। সে কাঠের উপর বসে, এবং নিজেকে অর্ধেক কাটা কাঠের মধ্যে স্থাপন করে, কীলকটি ধরে টানতে শুরু করল।
হঠাৎ, কীলকটি বেরিয়ে এল। ফলে, অর্ধেক কাটা কাঠটি বন্ধ হয়ে গেল এবং বানরটি কাঠের ফাঁকে আটকা পড়ল।
ভাগ্যে তার যেমন ছিল, সে মারাত্মকভাবে আহত হয়েছিল।
জ্ঞানীরা সত্যিই বলেন: অন্যের কাজে হাত দিলে, সে তো বিপদে পড়বেই।
Translating social media posts with slang & emojis
Social media posts frequently contain informal language, slang, emojis, and unconventional structure, posing unique translation challenges. We find that Sarvam-Translate is often able to handle such content, accurately conveying both meaning and tone. Notice in the example below both usage of various emojis and stylised content. Example "Wut u doing rn?" is translated appropriately in Kannada as "ಏನ್ ಮಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದೀಯಾ?"

Translating documents with embedded foreign-language text
Multilingual documents often contain embedded foreign-language text that in most situations is expected to remain untranslated. Sarvam-Translate demonstrates the ability to identify such segments and preserve them while translating surrounding content. In the example below, we have traditional Chinese characters which are preserved.
Input
Bodhidharma (菩提達摩)
Bodhidharma (菩提達摩) was a Buddhist monk believed to have lived during the 5th or 6th century CE. He is widely recognized as the founder of Chan Buddhism [禪宗] in China and is considered the first patriarch [初祖] of the tradition. According to Chinese sources, Bodhidharma came from the Western Regions [西域]—possibly from South India [南天竺]—and traveled to China to spread the teachings of dhyāna [禪那], or meditative Buddhism.
One of the most well-known legends involves his meeting with Emperor Wu of Liang [梁武帝]. When the emperor asked him what merit [功德] he had gained from his generous support of Buddhism, Bodhidharma famously replied, "None whatsoever [無功德]", underscoring the Chan emphasis on inner realization [自悟] rather than external acts [外相].
After the imperial encounter, Bodhidharma is said to have journeyed to the Shaolin Monastery [少林寺], where he meditated facing a wall [面壁九年] for nine years. During this period, he is believed to have introduced physical exercises [行功] to aid monks in their practice, which later evolved into Shaolin martial arts [少林功夫].
His core teaching, often summarized as:
"Direct pointing to the mind, seeing one's nature, and becoming a Buddha [直指人心，見性成佛]",
rejected reliance on scriptures [經典] and ritual [儀式], emphasizing sudden enlightenment [頓悟].
Bodhidharma is also associated with a key text called "Two Entrances and Four Practices [二入四行論]", where he describes two paths:
- The entrance of principle [理入], and
- The entrance of practice [行入], which includes:
- Acceptance of suffering [報冤行]
- Detachment from circumstances [隨緣行]
- Absence of craving [無所求行]
- Accordance with the Dharma [稱法行]
In Japan, he is known as Daruma [達磨] and remains a cultural icon, often depicted in Daruma dolls [達磨達磨] symbolizing perseverance [堅忍] and good fortune [福運].

তেওঁৰ আটাইতকৈ বিখ্যাত কিংবদন্তীসমূহৰ ভিতৰত এটা হ'ল লিয়াঙৰ সম্ৰাট ৱু [梁武帝]ৰ সৈতে তেওঁৰ সাক্ষাৎ। যেতিয়া সম্ৰাটে তেওঁক বৌদ্ধ ধৰ্মক উদাৰভাৱে সমৰ্থন কৰাৰ বাবে কি পুণ্য [功德] লাভ কৰিছে বুলি সুধিলে, তেতিয়া বোধিধৰ্মে বিখ্যাতভাৱে উত্তৰ দিলে, "একেও নহয় [無功德]", যাৰ দ্বাৰা চান ধৰ্মৰ বাহ্যিক কাৰ্য্যকলাপ [外相]ৰ পৰিৱৰ্তে আভ্যন্তৰীণ উপলব্ধি [self-realization]ৰ ওপৰত গুৰুত্ব আৰোপ কৰা হৈছিল।
সাম্ৰাজ্যিক সাক্ষাৎৰ পিছত, বোধিধৰ্মে শ্বাওলিন মঠলৈ [少林寺] যাত্ৰা কৰিছিল বুলি কোৱা হয়, য'ত তেওঁ ন বছৰ ধৰি এখন দেৱালৰ ফালে মুখ কৰি ধ্যান কৰিছিল। এই সময়ছোৱাত, তেওঁ ভিক্ষুসকলক তেওঁলোকৰ সাধনাত সহায় কৰিবলৈ শাৰীৰিক ব্যায়াম [行功] প্ৰৱৰ্তন কৰিছিল বুলি বিশ্বাস কৰা হয়, যি পিছলৈ শ্বাওলিন সমৰ কলা [少林功夫]লৈ বিকশিত হৈছিল।
তেওঁৰ মূল শিক্ষা, যাক প্ৰায়ে এনেদৰে সংক্ষিপ্ত কৰা হয়:
"পোনপটীয়াকৈ মনলৈ আঙুলিয়াই দিয়া, নিজৰ প্ৰকৃতি দেখা, আৰু বুদ্ধ হোৱা [直指人心，見性成佛]",
শাস্ত্ৰ [經典] আৰু ৰীতি-নীতিৰ [儀式] ওপৰত নিৰ্ভৰ কৰিবলৈ অস্বীকাৰ কৰিছিল, আৰু আকস্মিক জ্ঞান [頓悟]ৰ ওপৰত গুৰুত্ব আৰোপ কৰিছিল।
বোধিধৰ্মক "দুটা প্ৰৱেশ আৰু চাৰিটা অভ্যাস [二入Four Practices]" নামৰ এটা মূল গ্ৰন্থৰ সৈতেও জড়িত কৰা হয়, য'ত তেওঁ দুটা পথৰ বিষয়ে বৰ্ণনা কৰিছে:
- নীতিৰ প্ৰৱেশ [理入], আৰু
- অভ্যাসৰ প্ৰৱেশ [行入], য'ত অন্তৰ্ভুক্ত আছে:
- দুখৰ গ্ৰহণ [報冤Four Practices]
- পৰিস্থিতিৰ পৰা বিৰত থকা [隨緣Four Practices]
- কামনাৰ অনুপস্থিতি [無所求Four Practices]
- ধৰ্মৰ সৈতে মিল [稱法Four Practices]
জাপানত, তেওঁক দাৰুমা [達磨] নামেৰে জনা যায় আৰু তেওঁ এতিয়াও এক সাংস্কৃতিক আইকন, যাক প্ৰায়ে দাৰুমা পুতলাত [達磨達磨] চিত্ৰিত কৰা হয়, যি অধ্যৱসায় [perseverance] আৰু সৌভাগ্য [good fortune]ৰ প্ৰতীক।
Translating legal documents with precision
Legal texts demand high precision in terminology and structure. Translating such documents requires preserving legal references, clauses, and formatting. We find that Sarvam-Translate is able to ensure accuracy and consistency suitable for professional legal use. For example, consider the complex sentence "Upon a meticulous perusal of the statutory scheme, the legislative history of the Parent Act, and the precedents cited at the Bar, this Court is disinclined to accede to the appellant's submissions". The model is able to translate this in Assamese as "বিধিবদ্ধ আঁচনি, মূল আইনৰ বিধিবদ্ধ ইতিহাস, আৰু বাৰত উল্লেখ কৰা পূৰ্ব উদাহৰণসমূহৰ এক নিখুঁত পৰ্যালোচনাৰ পিছত, এই আদালতে আপীলকাৰীৰ যুক্তিসমূহ মানি ল'বলৈ অনিচ্ছুক" which is a more natural sentence structure and correctly conveys the technical content.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CIVIL APPEAL NO. XXXX OF 2023
Poko Corporation Ltd. ... Appellant
Versus
Union of India & Anr. ... Respondents
J U D G M E N T
[Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta, Hon'ble Ms. Justice Anjali Gagnani]
-
The present appeal, preferred under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, assails the correctness and legal sustainability of the impugned final judgment and order dated 15th March, 2023 rendered by the High Court of Judicature at Delhi in Writ Petition (C) No. 5478 of 2022, whereby the Division Bench thereof summarily dismissed the appellant's challenge to the vires of the Environmental Impact Assessment (Amendment) Rules, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as "the Impugned Rules"), promulgated vide Notification No. G.S.R. 456(E) dated 12th April, 2021, by the respondent No. 1, purportedly in exercise of powers conferred under Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 2005 (hereinafter "the Parent Act").
-
Learned Senior Counsel for the appellant, with characteristic erudition, has advanced a multi-pronged submission. The fulcrum of his argument rests on the premise that the Impugned Rules suffer from the vice of excessive delegation, transgressing the permissible legislative ambit delineated by the Parent Act. It is contended that Rule 5(b)(iii) of the Impugned Rules, which introduces a novel criterion for mandatory environmental clearance for projects below prescribed thresholds, effectively supplants the substantive provisions of Section M(2) of the Parent Act, rather than merely supplementing them. This, it is urged, amounts to an impermissible arrogation of essential legislative functions by the executive, a proposition anathema to the constitutional scheme of separation of powers, as expounded in In Re Delhi Laws Act, 1912 (AIR 1951 SC 332) and reiterated consistently thereafter, including in Hamdard Dawakhana (Wakf) Lal Kuan, Delhi v. Union of India (AIR 1960 SC 554).
-
Furthermore, it is strenuously canvassed that the Impugned Rules are vitiated by manifest arbitrariness, thereby infracting Article 14 of the Constitution. The classification engendered by the amended proviso to Rule 7, which exempts entities with a turnover below a specified threshold from the rigours of comprehensive environmental impact studies, is assailed as lacking an intelligible differentia bearing a rational nexus to the purported object of the Parent Act, namely sustainable development and environmental protection. Reliance is placed on Shayara Bano v. Union of India ((2017) 9 SCC 1) to buttress the contention that subordinate legislation, too, must withstand the test of non-arbitrariness.
-
Per contra, the Learned Additional Solicitor General, appearing for the Union of India, has robustly defended the vires of the Impugned Rules. It is posited that the delegation of power under Section 3 of the Parent Act is sufficiently guided, empowering the Central Government to frame rules for "carrying out the purposes of this Act." The Impugned Rules, it is submitted, are merely procedural and clarificatory, effectuating the legislative policy enshrined within the four corners of the Parent Act. The distinction carved out in the proviso to Rule 7 is asserted to be a reasonable classification based on economic capacity, aimed at obviating undue hardship for smaller entities, a permissible legislative device well-recognised in fiscal and regulatory statutes. The presumption of constitutionality attaching to subordinate legislation, it is averred, has not been dislodged by the appellant.
-
Upon a meticulous perusal of the statutory scheme, the legislative history of the Parent Act, and the precedents cited at the Bar, this Court is disinclined to accede to the appellant's submissions. The contours of permissible delegation are well-demarcated. While the legislature cannot delegate its essential legislative functions, it can empower the executive to formulate rules to carry out the statutory purpose, provided the legislative policy is adequately enunciated and a standard is laid down for the guidance of the delegate. In the instant lis, Section 3, when read harmoniously with the Preamble and the substantive provisions, particularly Sections L, M, and N of the Parent Act, provides a sufficiently discernible policy framework. Rule 5(b)(iii) does not, in our considered view, supplant Section M(2) but rather operationalises its intendment by prescribing a specific modality for compliance, which falls squarely within the domain of delegated legislation. The criterion introduced is not alien to the statutory objective but rather ancillary thereto.
-
The challenge predicated on Article 14 also fails to commend itself to us. It is trite that the legislature (and by extension, its delegate exercising rule-making power) enjoys considerable latitude in matters of classification. The onus is heavy upon the party assailing the classification to demonstrate that it is patently arbitrary, irrational, or devoid of any discernible principle. The differentiation based on turnover, as effected by the proviso to Rule 7, cannot, ipso facto, be branded as discriminatory or bereft of a rational nexus to the objective of facilitating compliance without imposing disproportionate burdens, particularly when viewed through the prism of administrative convenience and economic realities. The threshold prescribed does not appear, prima facie, to be whimsical or capricious.
-
In light of the foregoing analysis, we find no palpable constitutional infirmity or statutory transgression in the promulgation of the Impugned Rules warranting judicial interdiction. The High Court's declination to interfere was, therefore, justified.
-
The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs.

৭. পূৰ্বৰ বিশ্লেষণৰ পোহৰত, আমি প্ৰশ্নযুক্ত বিধি প্ৰণয়নত কোনো স্পষ্ট সাংবিধানিক দুৰ্বলতা বা বিধিবদ্ধ উলংঘা বিচাৰি পোৱা নাই যি ন্যায়িক নিষেধাজ্ঞাৰ বাবে উপযুক্ত। সেয়েহে, উচ্চ ন্যায়ালয়ে হস্তক্ষেপ নকৰাৰ সিদ্ধান্তটো ন্যায্য আছিল।
৮. সেই অনুসৰি, আপীলখন খাৰিজ কৰা হ'ল। খৰচৰ কোনো নিৰ্দেশ নাই।
Translating code files while protecting syntax
Translating code files requires distinguishing between executable code and human-readable text, such as comments or documentation. We find that Sarvam-Translate selectively translates natural language content while leaving code unchanged. For example, the comment "Function to perform Bubble Sort" is translated in Bengali as "বাবল সর্ট করার ফাংশন" retaining technical terms like bubble sort without undue complicated translation.

Given the generic abilities of the model, we believe new use-cases can be unlocked. We encourage you to try Sarvam-Translate and share your findings with us on social media or our discord.
In the remainder of this blog, we will go through some technical details in terms of evaluation and training of the model.
Automatic Evaluation on Structured Content
To test the abilities of Sarvam-Translate, we conducted a large-scale evaluation that spans multiple languages, document styles, and content formats. For this evaluation, we used a curated dataset of articles covering a range of real-world formats and content types. The dataset included GitHub Markdown files, scanned PDFs that were digitized into Markdown using Vision-Language Models (VLMs), documents containing mathematical equations written in LaTeX, and chemistry documents featuring complex chemical notations. It also incorporated code files with embedded comments and documentation, as well as web page content extracted from HTML. We created 1,000 documents in each of these categories.
Given the scale of the evaluation, conducting human reviews for every document type and language pair would be impractical. To address this, we used Gemini Flash 2.5 to perform automatic evaluations. For each document type, we designed prompts that direct Gemini to focus on the specific aspects of translation quality that matter most for that format. For example, the evaluation criteria for math equations differ from those for code or HTML. We describe these criteria below.
Markdown Content (GitHub)
Goal: Ensure that the translated document preserves the Markdown structure including headings, bullet points, links, code blocks, and that the translated content fits naturally within the structure. The formatting should remain exactly as in the source.
Digitized Markdown (VLM / OCR output)
Goal: Evaluate how robust the translation is when the source document comes from a digitized, OCR-extracted source which may contain slight errors or inconsistencies. The structure (tables, headings) should be preserved, and the translation should handle noise gracefully without introducing additional errors.
Math Content (LaTeX equations)
Goal: Ensure that LaTeX equations are preserved exactly in the translated document, while surrounding text is translated naturally. No part of the equation syntax should be altered or corrupted. The translation must maintain the integrity of mathematical notation.
Chemistry Content (Equations, Symbols)
Goal: Validate that chemical equations, including subscripts, superscripts, arrows, and special symbols, are retained correctly. The text around the equations should be translated naturally, while chemical notations should remain untouched and precisely formatted.
Code Content (Code with Comments)
Goal: Ensure that code remains exactly the same in the translated document, and that only the comments and documentation are translated. The programming syntax must not be altered. The evaluation should also check that no unintended changes (indentation, special characters) were introduced.
HTML Content (Web pages)
Goal: Verify that HTML tags and structure are preserved exactly. The visible text content within the tags should be translated fluently, but the HTML itself should remain unchanged. If certain elements (e.g. italics, bold) are present in the original, the corresponding translation should maintain the same styling.
Evaluation Results
Translation quality scores (scale of 5) across languages, averaged over multiple content types.
Human Evaluations
While automatic evaluations are useful at scale, human evaluations are necessary given the subjectivity of translation quality and limited abilities of frontier models in specific languages. To do this, we curated 100 English documents covering a diverse mix of content types, including technical material such as scientific, mathematical, and chemistry-based content; informal and spoken text drawn from speech transcripts and conversational blogs; structured content such as Markdown documents, HTML pages, and code snippets; and formal content like news articles and textbook excerpts.
These documents were translated using Sarvam-Translate, as well as with leading open-source LLMs, such as Gemma3-27B-IT, Llama-3.1-405B-FP8 and Llama4 Scout. The translated outputs were then evaluated by professional human annotators. The evaluators were professional language experts, each with multiple years of professional experience in translation creation and validation, and with deep proficiency in both English and their target Indian language.
The human evaluators assessed the translations on several key dimensions, including fluency, adequacy, faithfulness to the source structure, and inclusivity. They were shown two translations at random and asked to pick if one is more preferred or both are equally preferred. The results of the human evaluation are summarised in the following tables.

Across all Indian languages, Sarvam-Translate consistently outperformed other models, particularly in its ability to handle structured content, maintain coherence over longer contexts, and deliver inclusive and culturally sensitive translations.
How Sarvam-Translate was trained
This journey has been years in the making, built on sustained effort and deep expertise in developing Indian language technologies in the open source. We invested heavily in building robust data-cleaning pipelines and sophisticated annotation workflows to ensure the highest quality datasets. We also leveraged the Gemma 3 open-source models which provided the best starting point to build Sarvam-Translate in comparison to any other model.
Data
Sarvam-Translate was trained on a rich and diverse dataset of translation pairs between English and 22 Indian languages. This dataset combines multiple sources. First, we incorporated cleaned data from past open-data efforts, including BPCC, which itself contains both mined and manually validated data. We carefully cleaned this data using robust internal pipelines. Second, we generated new translation pairs from carefully curated English source content. This spanned a wide range of domains: scientific and historical content, conversational and modern text, and structurally complex formats such as code, LaTeX, HTML, and chemistry equations. In this process, we recognised the need for very high quality filters on the data. Even large models such as Llama-3.1-405B-FP8make many errors in generating output in Indian languages.
Training Process
We trained Sarvam-Translate on top of Gemma3-4B-IT. We fine-tuned this in a two-stage process. In the first stage, we fine-tuned the full model on a larger dataset with broad coverage, including some noisier but domain-diverse data to establish wide-ranging translation capability. This is also required to provide language ability to the model in languages it is not already fluent in. In the second stage, we used LoRA to fine-tune the model further on a smaller, highly curated, format-diverse dataset, paying careful attention to format preservation and style consistency. Through various ablations we found this two-stage process to be effective.
Inference Efficiency
We were able to quantise Sarvam-Translate using Post-Training Quantization (PTQ), leveraging a large and diverse calibration dataset to ensure robust 8-bit inference performance. The inference system is finely tuned to run on NVIDIA NIM with the TensorRT engine, utilising full FP8 kernels for improved throughput and efficiency. This optimised set up is available for use in our API store and can be tried in the dashboard.
Known Limitations
While this model supports 22 languages across a variety of tasks, performance can vary depending on the language. These differences stem from the balance of pre-training data, post-training resources, and each language’s representation in the tokeniser. Document translation is a key capability, but performance is more limited for certain languages such as Bodo, Dogri, Kashmiri, Manipuri, Santali, Sanskrit, and Sindhi, where we have observed lower translation quality and occasional incomplete outputs.
For better-supported languages, the model performs well on most document formats. However, it has not been extensively trained on long-form LaTeX or HTML documents. As a result, it may sometimes miss tags or other structural elements in very large .tex files or .html files. To maintain accuracy, we recommend splitting large files of code or latex into smaller sections and then translating individual sections, when possible.
In addition, we have infrequently observed that some outputs may include transliterations or code-mixed segments, particularly in low-resource or highly inflected languages.
Conclusion
Translation technology has progressed substantially over the past few years. With Sarvam-Translate, we extend these advancements to 22 Indian languages, ensuring their representation across a wide range of content types.
What makes this achievement especially meaningful is the model’s ability to handle real-world, mixed-format documents such as Markdown, HTML, scientific notation, code, and more. The model not only preserves structure but also respects context, style, and gender nuances, ensuring that every translation feels authentic and natural.
We believe that this is a key enabler for:
- Making the web more accessible in Indian languages
- Supporting education and research in native languages
- Empowering government and public services to reach citizens in their preferred language
- Catalyzing the creation of Indian language digital content at scale
This is just the beginning. As content formats continue to evolve, our mission remains the same: to ensure that Indian languages are well-represented in the digital landscape.
We remain committed to advancing this work through collaboration with the open-source community, researchers, industry, and government partners, making high-quality translation accessible for all 22 Indian languages.
