Enhancing Low-Resource Language Translation in Large Language Models through a Multi-Agent Workflow
---
## Overview
The **Multi-Agent Translation Team (MATT)** project explores how **agentic Large Language Model (LLM) workflows** can improve translation quality for **low-resource languages**. Instead of relying on a single translation model, this system decomposes the translation task into multiple specialized agents that collaborate to iteratively refine outputs.
The project evaluates whether structured, multi-agent collaboration can outperform baseline and single-agent translation approaches across multiple quality dimensions.

## Motivation & Problem Statement
Low-resource languages are often underserved by traditional machine translation systems due to:
- Limited parallel training data
- Cultural and contextual nuances
- Terminology inconsistencies
This research investigates whether **multi-agent orchestration**—where each agent focuses on a specific aspect of translation—can:
- Improve translation accuracy and fluency
- Preserve cultural context and terminology
- Produce more consistent and explainable translation outputs
---
## Approach
The MATT workflow uses **multiple LLM-based agents**, each assigned a specialized role, such as:
- Initial translation
- Fluency and grammar refinement
- Terminology consistency checking
- Cultural and contextual adaptation
Agent outputs are combined through a structured workflow to produce a final translation. This agentic approach is compared against:
- Baseline translation methods
- Single-agent LLM translations

## Evaluation Criteria
Translations are evaluated using a rubric designed for human-aligned quality assessment, including:
- **Accuracy** – Faithfulness to source meaning
- **Fluency** – Grammatical correctness and naturalness
- **Style** – Tone and readability
- **Terminology** – Consistency and domain correctness
- **Cultural Context** – Appropriateness f …
