In the last recent years, MT support for specific language pairs has flourished in many ways. Many providers now offer now 100+ language combinations, specialize in a specific domain field, and/or train custom models that provide high-quality MT results.

Wordbee makes it easy for administrators to tailor MT systems so they can to be used for specific language combinations, where they perform best, or based on the way they need their users to interact with them.

By configuring a metaconnectorin the MT profiles section, several MT engines can be linked through a single MT profile that can be made available in projects, orders, or jobs. When linked to self-service modules like MT Hive, using a metaconnector profile is the best way to make sure the language pairs that are proposed, adhere to end user expectations.

If we take Intento as an example, we see that all languages the provider supports are enabled by default by default, all the languages they support are enabled when /wiki/spaces/WBT/pages/711232. It is possible to narrow down the language pairs that need to be proposed in MT Hive by means of using a metaconnector.

Configure MT Hive to support only specific language pairs

Follow the steps below to configure your MT Hive form with specific language pair(s) by using a metaconnector:

1. You have Select the MT provider you want wish to enable. For this example, we will be using Intento.
   See How to enable Intento MT in Wordbee Translator

2. There is a Metaconnetor that uses the your selected MT engines you wish for each language pair you want to support in MT Hive.
   In this example, we need to make sure all language combinations required are configured here. Note Please note, that you can also use the metaconnector to configure trained models, so the name of the MT profile could be based on the domain (ex. MT for finance, MT for health, etc.)
   See What is a Meta Connector?

3. The Metaconnector you configured in (step 2 ) is linked in the MT Hive form, as a new option or as the only option.
   See How to configure and assign MT Hive forms.
   

   

   1. Having several Options in the MT Form makes it possible for users to compare between several MT providers or several trained machines.
      Note Please note that the support for the languages is linked to the MT connector configured in each option, so make sure your ensure that you cover the expectated expected pairs for each of them.
      

   2. If you only want to propose a single MT provider, just keep a single option enabled in the form.

...

If there is more than one option configured in MT Hive, users will get to see a dropdown to choose from menu with different options when they access MT Hive to machine translate text/files.

...

Otherwise, users will only get to select the source and target languages when filling out the fields on the screen. The languages proposed in the FROM/TO dropdown fields relate 1:1 to the ones configured in the metaconnector.
