What is Amazon Translate?

Amazon Translate is a neural machine translation service used for language translation. Neural machine translation is a form of language translation automation that uses deep learning models to deliver more accurate and more natural sounding translation than traditional statistical and rule-based translation algorithms. Amazon Translate allows users to localize content - such as websites and applications - for international users, and to translate large volumes of text.

Categories & Use Cases

Semi-human Translation with a Push of a Button

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Amazon Translate in my translation work in its form as a Trados plug-in. I find it particularly good to provide a semi-human translation which reduces the time needed to do my tasks and increases my productivity. After retrieving the result from Amazon Translate I do some editing before it is customer-ready. Amazon Translate is excellent for marketing and general tasks.
