What is a Translation Engine?

A translation engine is a software tool or system that automatically translates text from one language to another. It uses algorithms, machine learning, and pre-built language models to process and generate translations. Translation engines can vary in complexity, from rule-based systems that follow linguistic rules to neural machine translation engines that learn from vast amounts of bilingual data.

Translation engines are important because they provide fast, scalable solutions for translating large amounts of content, making them essential in global communication, content localization, and e-commerce. While they can produce accurate translations, human review is often necessary to ensure context, nuance, and quality in certain situations.
