What is Intento?

Intento is an Information Technology company which enables access to various vendors via a single API. Besides machine translation, Intento offers optical character recognition sentiment analysis, speech transcription, among others.

How does it work in memoQ?

The new Intento plugin in memoQ works the same way as a single machine translation plugin. Intento enables memoQ users to access machine translation providers such as Google Cloud AutoML, Amazon Translate, and Baidu Translate, among many others. 

 

This integration also offers the “Smart Routing” option, a highly effective and customizable feature that automatically chooses the best MT engine according to the project’s language pair by using Intento’s latest quarterly evaluation report. Moreover, you can also see detailed reports on your MT API’s usage on Intento’s dashboard.

Private Plugin

Intento is also available as a private plugin. A private plugin is not publicly available in memoQ, but it can be used within the software.  

When installing a private MT plugin, make sure to copy the plugin into your “Add-ins” folder on your computer so that memoQ can recognize it and will not display a warning after launching the software.  

You are good to go!

What is Google Cloud Translation Basic?  

Google Cloud Translation Basic (or Google Translate API v2) is one of the best-known machine translation services available. The translate.google.com service is free – but there is an API call charge for using it to translate a large amount of text, or using it within another tool. The Google machine translation API offers dynamic text translation between thousands of language pairs. Google can work with more than 100 languages, offers language detection and simple, affordable pricing. 

How does it work with memoQ?  

memoQ sends a text to the Google machine translation engine, one segment at a time. The results are then displayed in the translation results and the translator can decide whether to use them. 

Translators and project managers can also have their documents translated automatically, and then revise them as needed. 

How to use this service in memoQ?  

memoQ is integrated with Google MT through an API key provided by Google. To start using the plugin, just enter the API key in memoQ when you are enabling the plugin in Resource Console | MT settings. For a step-by-step guide on how to use Google MT in memoQ, please click here. 

The Google MT plugin is now using neural machine translation if it is available in your language combination. In some cases, neural machine translation can be much more fluent and human-like opposed to statistical machine translation. To learn which language pairs are available for neural machine translation, see this page.
