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
