Applications	Translation and localisation	Machine translation for translation and localisation

Machine translation is a key technology in professional translation and localisation workflows.

Integrations

Translation software, like translation management systems and CAT tools, integrate machine translation APIs, directly or via plugins.

Workflow

The translation software fills in the machine translation for the human translator to post-edit. The machine translation can be inserted in whole files at once or one line at a time. Some engines that translate line-by-line can learn from post-editions and adapt the machine translation output accordingly.

Productivity

Post-editors work three to four times faster than traditional translators.
