How to monitor Custom Translator language model updates?

Question

Recently noticed that there is a new version of the language model underlying Azure Custom Translator (2025-March release).

Is it possible to know which model version is being used for a trained/deployed model? How can we monitor Custom Translator language model updates and versions?

Thanks

Hi classy weeks

Currently, Azure Custom Translator does not display the specific version of the underlying language model used in your deployed custom models. To remain informed about the latest features, improvements, and language support, we recommend regularly reviewing the [Custom Translator release notes]. These release notes provide details on new updates and indicate when retraining your models is advisable to take advantage of enhancements in translation quality. Refer the link Custom Translator release notes

To monitor changes and updates to the language models, please check the release notes page frequently. Additionally, following Azure updates or official blogs can help ensure you are promptly notified of significant changes.

Whenever a new language model release is announced, we suggest retraining your custom models to benefit from the latest improvements and maintain optimal translation quality. The release notes will also specify which language pairs are impacted and may benefit from retraining.Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
