Auto-Translation+

This technical note discusses Lexbe's Auto-Language Translation+ Feature.  Please contact the Professional Services department or Sales if interested in Auto-Language Translation+.

Overview

The Lexbe Auto-Translaton+ service uses neural network deep learning techniques to produce more accurate and fluent translation than traditional statistical and rule-based translation models. The neural machine translation system takes into account the entire context of the source sentence as well as the translation it has generated so far, to create more accurate and fluent translations. In comparison, conventional phrased-based machine translation only translates within the context of a few words before and after the translated word. The underlying AWS engines are trained on a wide variety of content across different use cases and domains to perform well on many kinds of content for industry-leading results.

Benefits of hybrid workflow:
