The o1-Like LLMs are transforming AI by simulating human cognitive processes, but their performance in multilingual machine translation (MMT) remains underexplored. This study examines: (1) how o1-Like LLMs perform in MMT tasks and (2) what factors influence their translation quality. We evaluate multiple o1-Like LLMs and compare them with traditional models like ChatGPT and GPT-4o. Results show that o1-Like LLMs establish new multilingual translation benchmarks, with DeepSeek-R1 surpassing GPT-4o in contextless tasks. They demonstrate strengths in historical and cultural translation but exhibit a tendency for rambling issues in Chinese-centric outputs. Further analysis reveals three key insights: (1) High inference costs and slower processing speeds make complex translation tasks more resource-intensive. (2) Translation quality improves with model size, enhancing commonsense reasoning and cultural translation. (3) The temperature parameter significantly impacts output quality-lower temperatures yield more stable and accurate translations, while higher temperatures reduce coherence and precision.

  1. Translation with Thought: Difficulty-Adaptive Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Domain Machine Translation

    cs.CL 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-stage SFT+RL recipe (TwT) that allocates reasoning depth by input difficulty matches large reasoning models on auto-metric MT quality with 32-60% fewer tokens, but the auto-metric edge is partly the training objective.

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LLM translations of Peter Pan sit stylistically closer to human translations than NMT outputs do on several child-literature features, but the prompting strategy and possible training-data overlap partly explain the c...

  3. TAT-R1: Terminology-Aware Translation with Reinforcement Learning and Word Alignment

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Word-alignment rewards for RL-trained translation raise terminology accuracy on RTT from 54.42 to 56.42 TA without hurting general translation quality.

  4. Self-Route: Automatic Mode Switching via Capability Estimation for Efficient Reasoning

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Self-Route uses hidden-layer representations from a brief pre-inference plan to route each question to either short or long chain-of-thought, cutting tokens by 30-55% with under 2% accuracy loss.

  5. Reasoning Before Translation: Enhancing Legal Machine Translation with Structured Reasoning

    cs.CL 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    On Swiss legal translation, reinforcement learning with a ChrF reward improves small open models more than supervised fine-tuning, but frontier reasoning models still score higher.
