    Amazon AWS
    I use Amazon Translate plug-in in my regular translation
    work. I realized that it does better in marketing and general texts. It still
    suffers from some shortcomings when it comes to the specific linguistic
    feature of Arabic. It makes some grammatical mistakes. It does not sound
    natural in some instances because of using uncommon word combinations.

    • Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating.
    • UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager.
    • Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.

    I use Google Translate and Amazon Translate. I find them both helpful. What I like more about Amazon Translate is that I can control the privacy of my files. The text entered into Google Translate enters its database and might be used for further improvement of their service; however, I do not like exposing the data of my clients to a third party. Therefore, I find Amazon Translate wins by large in this regard.
