Using Machine Translation providers

You can connect to a Machine Translation (MT) provider to use during pre-translation or translation.

About this task

As a general rule, you select your MT resources at the All Language Pairs level, which means that the selected MT resources apply to all the language pairs they contain. However, you can also specify MT resources at an individual language pair level, as an exception. Use individual language pairs only if 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.
    • 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.
    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. Select Translation Memory and Automated Translation from the navigation tree.
  3. Select Use and select Language Cloud to connect to translation engines that you configured for your cloud account or to Neural Machine Translation (NMT) engines that you subscribed to via Language Weaver.
  4. Click OK to close the window.

Disclaimer

Using an MT provider may violate your non-disclosure agreement with your translation customer. Check with your customer before connecting to an MT provider. The .SDLXLIFF bilingual file records if you used one of the MT providers during translation.
