Amazon Translate is a neural machine translation service that delivers fast, high-quality, and affordable language translation. Neural machine translation is a form of language translation automation that uses deep learning models to deliver more accurate and more natural sounding translation than traditional statistical and rule-based translation algorithms. Amazon Translate allows you to localize content - such as websites and applications - for international users, and to easily translate large volumes of text efficiently.
Benefits
Highly Accurate & Continuously Learning
Amazon Translate is a neural machine translation service. The translation engines are always learning from new and expanded datasets to produce more accurate translations for a wide range of use cases.
Easy to Integrate into Your Applications
Amazon Translate removes the complexity of building real-time and batch translation capabilities into your applications with a simple API call. This makes it easy to localize an application or web site, or process multilingual data within your existing workflows.
Scalable
Whether it’s just a few words or large volumes of text, Amazon Translate scales easily as your translation needs grow. The service provides consistently fast and reliable translations, regardless of the volume of translation requests you make.
Machine Translation Use Cases
Enable multilingual sentiment analysis of social media content
Provide on-demand translation of user-generated content
Add real-time translation for communications applications
With Amazon Translate, you are not restricted by language barrier. Understand the social sentiment of your brand, product, or service while monitoring online conversations in different languages. Simply translate the text to English before using a natural language processing (NLP) application like Amazon Comprehend to analyze textual content in a multitude of languages.
It’s very difficult for human translation teams to keep up with dynamic or real-time content. With Amazon Translate, you can easily translate massive volumes of user-generated content in real-time. Websites and applications can automatically make content such as feed stories, profile descriptions, and comments, available in the user's preferred language with a click of a “translate” button.
Amazon Translate can provide automatic translation to enable cross-lingual communications between users for your applications. By adding real-time translation to chat, email, helpdesk, and ticketing applications, an English-speaking agent or employee can communicate with customers across multiple languages.

"Using our services and technology, global companies can localize massive amounts of content quickly while maintaining high quality. We’re excited about the initial results we’ve seen with Amazon Translate on a translation project we ran for our customer, iHerb. Overall turnaround time was cut by 67%, while maintaining the same high quality standards. Our total costs were reduced respectively, helping us offer our customers even more competitive pricing.”
“At Isentia, we built our media intelligence software in a single language. To expand our capabilities and address the diverse language needs of our customers, we needed translation support to generate and deliver valuable insights from non-English media content. Having tried multiple Machine Translation services in the past, we are impressed with how easy it is to integrate Amazon Translate into our pipeline and its ability to scale to handle any volume we throw at it. The translations also came out more accurate and nuanced and met our high standards for clients.”
