Adding Translation Engines

Add as many Translation Engines as you need to support your source-target language combinations. Make sure that there is a correspondence between the installed Language Pairs and those supported by the Translation Engines.

Before you begin

You need to have an ETS administrator user account to access the following operations. If you have an SDL BeGlobal subscription and you want to access SDL BeGlobal resources from within ETS, you must configure the Edge Cloud connection before you add any hosts or servers. All Language Pairs and Translation Engines which originate in SDL BeGlobal (in the cloud) are marked by a cloud (cloud symbol for BeGlobal language pairs and translation engines) symbol.

About this task

The Translation Engine is the individual translation component in the ETS workflow that takes in segmented source input and produce the translation in the target language.

Procedure

  1. Launch the Web GUI.
  2. Log in using an ETS administrator account.
  3. Navigate to Manage > Deployment > Hosts.
  4. In the upper right-hand corner, select Edit.
  5. Under the Translation Engines column, identify the Host you are adding a Translation Engine to. Select Add under the Translation Engines column (and Host row) you identified previously.
  6. Select source and target languages under Language Pair.
  7. Select Add.
  8. Select Done Editing.

What to do next

The Translation Engine needs to be in running status for the ETS Job Engine(s) to use it as a translation server for that language pair. See Starting Translation Engines section for how to change the Translation Engine running status.
