Amazon Translate Specialized2017年〜
A neural machine translation service for multilingual text translation
What It Does
Amazon Translate uses neural machine translation to translate text between 75+ languages. It supports both real-time and batch translation, with custom terminology to control how specialized terms are translated. Translation features can be easily integrated into applications via API calls.
Use Cases
Localizing websites and applications, translating customer support chats, batch-translating documents, and real-time translation of user-generated content.
Everyday Analogy
Think of a professional interpreter. They instantly translate conversations (text) into another language, using a specialized dictionary (custom terminology) to accurately handle industry-specific expressions.
What Is Translate?
Amazon Translate is a deep learning-based machine translation service. Simply pass text along with source and target languages to the TranslateText API to get translation results. It also supports automatic source language detection, so you can translate without specifying the source language.
Custom Terminology and Batch Translation
Registering custom terminology ensures brand names and specialized terms are translated with your specified translations. Batch translation processes large volumes of documents on S3 at once, supporting HTML, DOCX, XLIFF, and other file formats. Results are output to S3. For reference material on custom terminology and batch translation, related books on Amazon are a useful resource.
Getting Started
Try translation in the Translate console's real-time translation screen by entering text. To integrate into applications, call the TranslateText API via the AWS SDK. The free tier includes 2 million characters per month for 12 months.
Things to Watch Out For
- Translation quality varies by language pair. English to/from major languages is high quality, but accuracy may decrease between less common languages
- Pay-per-use based on translated character count. Free tier includes 2 million characters/month for 12 months
