Click Add to open the Machine Translation Configuration window. Here you can create a configuration for an MT system. The following configuration options are available:

Name
Description
Configuration name

System
The MT system can be selected here. The following systems are available:
  • DeepL
  • Tip

    For this system, you can also specify the formality level (more formal or less formal). Please note that not all languages are supported. Further information is available in the DeepL API documentation.

  • Google
  • KantanMT
  • Moses
  • OctaveMT
  • Tip

    To get even better results, the project relation is transmitted for queries submitted to this system. Additionally, you can enter a substitute relation under Default presetting, which will be used for the query if no results are returned with the project relation. If no results can be found with the predefined relations, the query will be submitted again without the relations.

  • Systran
  • TextShuttle
Configure
Enables the input of MT system-specific data such as the login, API key, etc.
Status
Indicates whether the MT system can be used.
Server
Determines for which connected server the MT will be performed. If no servers are connected, only the Local entry will be available for your own server.

In the Languages tab, you can determine the language pairs for which the MT is to be performed.

mt-config_tab_sprachen

In the System Attributes tab, you can determine which attributes and attribute values a project must have in order for the MT to be performed. If at least one attribute value exists for every attribute in the project, the MT will be performed. Leave the tab empty if you want to use attribute-independent MT.

mt-config_tab_systemattribute

In the Advanced tab, you can configure crossTank and sentence-related settings.

mt-config_tab_erweitert

Define the match rate below which source sentences are to be machine-translated. If a crossTank entry exists for a source sentence above this match rate, the respective source sentence will not be machine-translated.

Furthermore, you can determine the minimum and maximum number of words that a source sentence must have in order to be machine-translated.
