Text Translation
Text Translation is available to and from any of the languages listed below. Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is the new standard for high-quality AI-powered machine translations and is available as the default when a neural system is available. In addition, Translator has several other features to help create fully functional multilingual apps and services. Learn more.
Language Detection: Automatically detect the language of the text sent to Translator to help decide which content should be sent for translation or not.
Transliteration: Convert words and sentences from one script into another script. For instance, you can present Chinese characters in the Latin alphabet (PinYin) so they can be read by non-Chinese audiences.
Dictionary: Display alternative translations from or to English, examples of words in context to help you choose the perfect translation, and even examples of translated sentences using this word.
Customization
Build neural translation systems that understand the terminology used in your own business and industry. Learn more.
Speech Translation
Add end-to-end, real-time, speech translation to your applications or services with Speech service. Learn more about how speech translation works.
Speech-to-text: Convert speech into text in order to translate to the text language of your choice. Speech-to-text is used for speech to text translation, or for speech-to-speech translation when used in conjunction with speech synthesis.
Text-to-speech: Convert text to speech. Text-to-speech is used to add audible output of translation results, or for speech-to-speech translation when used with Speech-to-text.
