What is Automatic Translation?
Automatic Translation also called Machine Translation (MT) is the process of translating text from one language to another without human involvement.
Nowadays, translation is crucial for many companies that have products or applications used by large numbers of people around the world. In addition, companies subsequently use these translated texts on other Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools such as Sentiment Analysis, Keyword Extraction or Text Summarization. As a result, developers are regularly challenged to develop websites that support text translation between multiple languages.
Eden AI Automatic Translation API allows to instantly translate a text into another language, by providing a simple interface for dynamically translating any supported language. It can also be used to detect a language in cases where the source language is unknown.
