Connecting to an Automated Translation server
You can connect to an automated translation server to use during pre-translation or translation.
- Choose where you want to add the connection. See Where to define your Language Pair settings.
- In the dialog box that you chose to open, select from the navigation tree.
- Click Add and select one of the following from the drop-down list:
- SDL BeGlobal Enterprise to connect to an SDL BeGlobal automated translation server. Use the SW Enterprise Translation Server option if your company has purchased an installation of Language Weaver Enterprise Translation Server and installed it on a server. Use the BeGlobal Online option if you or your company has purchased the BeGlobal hosted services (Software as a Service). This requires a user and an API key for authentication.
- SDL Language Cloud to connect to the machine translation engines that you subscribed to from your Language Cloud account. The Language Cloud MT engines are trained using domain-specific content to generate translation results that typically require less post-editing.
- SDL Automated Translation to connect to the free SDL community automated translation server or an automated translation server of your own.
- Google Translate to connect to the Google Translate automated translation server. This is now a paid for service that requires an API key. The API key you enter here will update all other projects that use Google Translate.
- Click OK to close the Options or Project Settings dialog boxes.
The connection to the automated translation server is added to the list on the Translation Memory and Automated Translation page. It will be included in the lookup during translation and the results will be displayed in the Translation Results window.
