Tarski's original proof demonstrates the undefinability of truth within formal languages

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says

Is it true that Tarski's original proof demonstrates the undefinability of truth within formal languages?

No. Tarski's foundational work famously established how to define truth for formalized languages (rather than proving truth is undefinable within them, which is often confused with his undefinability theorem regarding arithmetic or semantic paradoxes).
