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.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
I use Amazon Translate plug-in in my regular translation
work. I realized that it does better in marketing and general texts. It still
suffers from some shortcomings when it comes to the specific linguistic
feature of Arabic. It makes some grammatical mistakes. It does not sound
natural in some instances because of using uncommon word combinations.

Smartling is great for a company or team that doesn't have the resources to translate multiple properties in-house. It automates the process and makes it much more manageable. If you have a large website that is managed by one local team and not a global team, Smartling is for you.

I use Google Translate and Amazon Translate. I find them both helpful. What I like more about Amazon Translate is that I can control the privacy of my files. The text entered into Google Translate enters its database and might be used for further improvement of their service; however, I do not like exposing the data of my clients to a third party. Therefore, I find Amazon Translate wins by large in this regard.

We prefer Smartling as an online CAT tool because it is easy to use and we can onboard new translators quickly without lengthy training cycles. Our customers like Smartling because they can manage all of their translation needs (website, apps, business documents) through one single platform, share style guides, glossaries and translation memory and save on translation cost over time.
