Hi,

I am totally new at this so please be patient with me!

I just bought SDL Trados 2021 and I am trying to find my way around it (without jumping off a bridge in the process)

I am trying to add the SDL Machine Translation feature to a project and it asks me to choose from 1) SDL Be Global Online or 2) SDL Enterprise Translation Server

When I pick one of them, it asks me for the following info:

-Account ID
-User ID
-API

-Touch Point ID

I have looked through all the emails I received from Trados when I dowloaded the software but cannot find the information for the life of me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try SDL Language Cloud Dec 12, 2020

I think the one you want is "SDL Language Cloud".
Also, go to the SDL App Store and get the MT Enhanced plugin so you can use Google and Bing.

SDL Language Cloud is not the Machine Translation? Dec 12, 2020

Hi John,

Thanks for your message.

But the SDL Language Cloud is not the Machine Translation? I added the language cloud but it does not have the same feature as the machine translation, i.e. it translates automatically your text in the target language?

Thanks

Alex

You can use 3rd-party apps for that Dec 12, 2020

I know 2 apps: QTranslate (for free) and GT4T (for fee).
Other fellow translators insist GT4T is better and is worth its cost, however I prefer QT because it does what I need at no cost and no need to share your API. Plus QT supports #1 MultilanguageRussian dictionary (Multitran) which is a personal benefit for me as a Russian translator. Both apps can use shortcuts to replace text with translation. And both support Google and Microsoft Bing MT engines. You can try them and then make your choice.
