How to Connect to an Automated Translation Server

You can connect to an automated translation server to use during pre-translation or translation.

1.     Choose where you want to add the connection.

2.     In the dialog box that you chose to open, select Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation from the navigation tree.

3.       Click Add and select one of the following from the drop-down list:

·         SDL BeGlobal Enterprise to connect to an SDL BeGlobal automated translation server. Use the SW Enterprise Translation Server option if your company has purchased an installation of Language Weaver Enterprise Translation Server and installed it on a server.  Use the BeGlobal Online option if you or your company has purchased the BeGlobal hosted services (Software as a Service). This requires a user and an API key for authentication.

·         SDL Language Cloud to connect to the machine translation engines that you subscribed to from your SDL Language Cloud account. The SDL Language Cloud MT engines are trained using domain-specific content to generate translation results that typically require less post-editing.

·         SDL Automated Translation to connect to the free SDL community automated translation server or an automated translation server of your own.

·         Google Translate to connect to the Google Translate automated translation server. This is now a paid for service that requires an API key. The API key you enter here will update all other projects that use Google Translate.

4.             Click OK to close the Options or Project Settings dialog boxes.

The connection to the automated translation server is added to the list on the Translation Memory and Automated Translation page. It will be included in the lookup during translation and the results will be displayed in the Translation Results window.

NOTE

Using Google Translate, SDL Language Cloud or SDL Automated Translation Server may violate your non-disclosure agreement with your translation customer. Check with your customer before connecting to these translation providers. The *.sdlxliff bilingual file records if you have used one of these providers during translation.
