Machine Translation Systems

The Machine Translation Systems settings may be used to configure which translation systems you want to use within Wordbee Translator. You may add as many Machine Translation Systems per provider as you would like. This allows for different language configurations to be used if needed. Additionally, each machine translation system will have a priority level that Wordbee Translator uses to determine what system will be used for translation.

In Wordbee Translator, you have the option to use an existing translation memory and resource group to pre-translate text and then machine translation. Basically, the defined resources (i.e.) translation memories will be used to initially pre-translate text. Then the machine translation system will be used to further pre-translate text, which may then be translated by a human or simply a machine translation (MT).

To enable, disable, or add a Machine Translation System in Wordbee Translator, you must first access these settings within the system. To do so, click on Settings at the top right of the screen.

Scroll down to the Machine Translation Section and then click on Configure to the right of the Machine Translation System option.

The following sections have been provided to help you better understand Machine Translation Systems:

Remember

Learn how to use your enabled MT systems in your project or how to use MT for full documents (only for Codyt projects)

What is a Machine Translation System?

A machine translation is one that has been performed by a computer with no human intervention. The Machine Translation System is the chosen system for performing the translation. In Wordbee, you may use one or more systems to accomplish an MT. Each has its own associated costs and can only be used if you have valid credentials for the provider. For more information please see the supported providers and credential requirements section of this page.

The following pages have been provided to help you become familiar with accessing and modifying these settings:

Available Statuses

A machine translation system may be configured as follows:

Limited (default): every available machine translation system is configured this way, which allows to MT segments in the CAT editor.

Having the Google MT enabled with limited access allows you to use MT combined with the Global Search

Enabled: Full Access (needs KEY) with the appropriate credentials, You will be able to use the CAT feature and additionally MT full documents.

Disabled: if the particular provider or system configuration is not currently needed.

In order to gain full access, you will need a valid credential set from the chosen provider. Otherwise, you will only have Limited Access, which is the default configuration selection per machine translation system in Wordbee Translator. This information will need to be acquired by registering with the desired provider.

Remember

Don't worry about authorship and confidentiality issues, we are not sending your data back to the MT owner.

Moreover, the segments you translate/improve by means of any MT connector will ONLY be saved in your local memories.
