Setting Machine Translation Options

1. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

   • Ribbon Select File>Options.

     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 Tools>Options.

   The Options dialog opens.

2. Click the Machine Translation tab.

3. From the Select Machine Translation Provider drop-down, select a machine translation service. In the Settings area, enter your authentication credentials. Each provider requires different credentials.

   • Google Enter your API Key in the field.
   • Microsoft Enter your Client ID and Client secret in the fields.

   • MyMemory Enter your Key in the field.

   For information about machine translation provider usage and credentials, please visit each provider's website.

   Click Test Connection to verify that your credentials are correct.

4. (Optional) If you want MT suggestions to show up when you are using a concordance, select Use MT in concordance searching. In the Concordance Search window pane, you'll be able to tell whether a suggestion comes from translation memory or MT by hovering over a segment. See About the Concordance.

5. Click OK.
