Amazon Translate
FreemiumNeural machine translation API for text and documents on AWS
What is Amazon Translate?
Amazon Translate is the AWS service for translating text and documents with neural models. Developers call it from apps, websites and data pipelines, and it is billed per million characters with a free allowance for new accounts.
Requests go through the AWS console, CLI or SDKs, either one string at a time or as batch jobs over files stored in S3. Real-time document translation handles plain text, HTML and Word files, so a page or document keeps its formatting after translation.
Active Custom Translation lets you steer output with your own parallel data, and custom terminology keeps brand names and product terms consistent. Typical uses include localizing websites, translating support chats and emails, and processing user-generated content in other languages.
