In contrast to translation memory from Across, machine translation technologies (MTs) translate automatically. Essentially, there are two different approaches for this, namely:
Machine translation (MT) is currently experiencing a renaissance, even if it cannot yet be used to produce print-ready results. As an integrated process step within a translation workflow, MT can - depending on the type of text, language direction, and quality requirements - also make sense in the professional environment.
Basically, the optional MT interface of Across can be used to connect any external MT system. The text segments are forwarded to the MT on the basis of defined criteria, and the target-language segment delivered by the MT is inserted in the (pre-)translation with the respective state. Thus, for example, text segments that are not found in the translation memory can be pre-translated automatically and post-processed by a professional translator.
Across users can thereby take advantage of all available technologies and are not bound to individual MT suppliers. For many MT systems, incorporation into Across v5 SP1 is already prepared completely; these include the products of Asia Online and Lucy Software.
