The Outlook Addin links to the Instant Translation MT Hive tool which is part of the Wordbee Translator client portal. Instant Translation MT Hive is a web interface where users upload files to obtain gist translations.
To activate the service for your users, some customization is required:
...
, such as:
- File types such as Word, Excel, XML that can be translated, as well as how content is translated.
- Any translation memories to use for pretranslation (typically these would be specific per your customer).
- The machine translation system to use.
- Options for post-editing
These settings are grouped in, what we call, an Instant Translation MT Hive form. Once a form is created you assign it to corporate or client users. From then on these users can request translation from Outlook. You can create as many forms as you like, such as one per client. This is indeed necessary if you want to configure client specific translation memories.
