Choosing a Machine Translation Provider

• Ribbon Select Resources>Choose MT.

  Switching between ribbons and the tool strip… You can use the Options dialog to switch between ribbons and the classic tool strip layout. See Switching Between Ribbons and the Tool Strip. 

  More about ribbon options… Keep in mind that the smaller the application window becomes, the more the options in a ribbon shrink. Therefore, you might only see a small icon instead of text, or you might see only a section name displayed with a down arrow to access the options in it. You can hover over small icons to see tooltips that describe them. You can also enlarge the application window or click one of the section drop-downs in the ribbon to locate a hidden feature.

• Menu Select Resources>Choose MT.

• Translate Toolbar In the Translate toolbar, click .

The Machine Translation Providers dialog opens.

Click the button for the provider(s) you want to use for machine translation. The button becomes highlighted when it is selected.

You can select multiple providers if you want to see suggestions from more than one machine translation service.

Note: You can select up to three machine translation providers to provide translation suggestions for individual segments in your project. However, if you want to translate your entire project at once, you must choose a single provider from the Machine Translation Providers dialog. See Translating Projects with Machine Translation.

(Optional) If you have not yet entered credentials for the machine translation provider in the Options dialog (see Setting Machine Translation Options), an additional dialog opens where you can provide your authentication information.
