Amazon Translate is a cloud-based machine translation service developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is based on neural machine translation technology, and it generates contextually aware translations that flow naturally as complete ideas, rather than just providing a word-for-word bilingual version. Not only is it able to translate in over 75 languages, but Amazon Translate is also a powerful application for large-scale translation of material. Best of all, it allows developers to easily plug it into websites, mobile apps, chatbots, and enterprise systems through its simple application programming interface (API). This versatility can open doors for businesses that want to expand internationally by providing local content, real-time multilingual customer service, or translated automations for content workflows. Amazon Translate can be paired with Amazon S3, Amazon Comprehend, Amazon Lex, and other tools in the AWS ecosystem to create an intelligent model for managing content. If a business needs to stay secure, scalable, and cost-effective, Amazon Translate allows them to expand engagement and visibility into international markets, whether it's for business or, non-profits or government.
