SDL Machine Translation Cloud (former BeGlobal)

Overview

SDL Machine Translation Cloud (NMT) is SDL's state-of-the-art secure machine translation cloud product for enterprises with various paid subscription models.

Setup

SDL MT Cloud Provider Plugin

• Download the SDL MT Cloud Provider plugin to your local drive
• Double click on the plugin to launch the SDL Plugin Installer and complete the installation, selecting the supported versions of SDL Studio.

Configuration

To add the provider to your project

1. Select Project Settings -> Language Pairs-> Translation Memory and Automated Translation
2. Click on the button "Use..." and select "SDL Machine Translation Cloud provider" from the drop-down list

Authentication

SDL MT Cloud provides various methods for authenticating your credentials.  Select the appropriate authentication type and provide the data that is required.

Authentication Type

• Studio credential - SDL Language Cloud
      Inherits the SSO credential and 'Sign In' workflow from Studio
• User  credential - SDL Machine Translation Cloud
      The same Email and Password that you use to log into SDL Machine Translation Cloud
• Client credential - SDL Machine Translation Cloud
      The Client ID and Client Secret can be retrieved by an admin user from SDL Machine Translation Cloud
  

Note: The authentication type "Studio credentials..." automatically inherits the SSO (i.e. Single Sign-On) credential and 'Sign In' workflow from Studio, so if you are already signed in, then that credential can be reused to authenticate you against SDL MT Cloud.

Settings

To access the provider settings, select the "SDL Machine Translation Cloud provider" from the project settings and click on the button "Settings"

The entries presented in the settings reflect the project language pairs, and are automatically mapped to the MT Cloud languages via the "Language Mapping" interface. 

When loading the provider for the first time, the generic model will be selected for each of the language pairs.  To choose a different model and/or dictionary, simply select them from the available options in drop-down menus appropriately.

The models and dictionaries for each of the language pairs will reflect what is available from your subscription.

Note: by default the "Re-send draft and translated segments" is checked.
