Specifying pre-translate settings for MT providers

You specify pre-translate settings when you connect to a Machine Translation (MT) provider and you run the pre-translate files batch task.

About this task

Note that this setting is typically specified at All Language Pairs level. Specify this setting at an individual language pair level only as an exception when you want to have different MT selections or a different MT order.

Procedure

  1. Decide whether you want to add the MT provider:
    • For all future projects - Go to File > Options > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs/ [source language - target language] pair.
    • For the current project - Go to the Projects view, select a project. On the Home tab, select Project Settings, and then in the Project Settings dialog, select Language Pairs > All Language Pairs / [source language - target language] pair.
    The Language Pairs settings are displayed on the right. Any language pairs for which default translation memory selections have been added, are displayed in the Language Pairs box.
  2. Go to All Language Pairs / [source language - target language] > Batch Processing > Pre-translate Files.
  3. Configure the appropriate Pre-translate settings for your projects. If you want to use MT results for the segments that do not have an acceptable match in the selected translation memories (TMs), enable the Apply automated translation option under the When no match found section.
  4. Select Save.
