Machine Translation Online CAT tool

MT configuration

Customize your CAT tool's translation settings by creating MT configurations. Each configuration specifies preferred translation engines and glossaries. Re-use configurations across projects or create new ones for specific requirements.

Consider creating a new configuration when:
  • You need to use a specific glossary for particular projects. Note that default glossaries for selected language pairs will always be applied.
  • Multiple MT engines are available for a given language pair, or you have a custom translation engine. Explore your options in the MT engines list

How to get there?

  • New project: Click Configure machine translation on the final project setup step.
  • Existing project: Access the MT configuration tab within the Editor view.
