Breaking Babel: A Self-Evolving Multi-Agent System for Long-Form Subtitle Translation
Long-form subtitle translation requires reasoning over discourse and cultural context spanning episodes or entire series, while maintaining consistent terminology and style. Existing single-LLM methods are largely sentence-level, and multi-agent systems often use static workflows that do not adapt to scene complexity or production context. We propose SMART, a Self-evolving Multi-Agent system for long-foRm subtitle Translation. During test-time training, SMART builds persistent series-level memory and translates a subset of sentences through a dynamic router and Mixture-of-Agents layer with tools for terminology verification, subtitle constraint validation, and contextual retrieval.
