Microsoft Translator Integration
Speed up bulk content with Microsoft Translator suggestions inside the editor.
Integrating Microsoft Translator with Awtomated helps you handle bulk content faster by offering machine translation suggestions that reduce the time spent on repetitive or straightforward text. You can pre-translate files before assigning them or enable suggestions directly in the Editor, giving linguists a solid starting point.
This integration is especially useful for internal documentation, product descriptions, or time-sensitive projects where a first draft helps speed things up. It doesn’t get in the way of your process-it simply adds another layer of support for your team.
What You Get with Microsoft Translator Integration
- Pre-fill segments with translations to speed up workflows
- Use suggestions in the Editor without switching tools
- Set usage per language pair, domain, or client
- Reduce manual effort for repetitive or low-priority content
- Maintain control-translators decide what stays and what goes
- Secure API connection keeps your data safe
How the Microsoft Translator integration works
- Get an API key for Microsoft Translator from your Microsoft account.
- In Awtomated, open Settings › Machine Translations and choose the Microsoft AI Translator tab.
- Add your API key. It is stored masked, and you can edit or delete it at any time.
- In the editor, linguists choose Microsoft Translator from the engine menu in the toolbar and pre-translate the file.
Who it is for
- Teams that handle internal documentation, product descriptions or other high-volume content.
- Project managers working on time-sensitive projects where a first draft saves hours.
- Linguists who prefer to review and post-edit a draft rather than type every segment.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own Microsoft Translator key?
Yes. The engine is connected with your own API key, which you add under Settings › Machine Translations. You can edit or delete the key at any time to rotate it or disconnect the engine.
Can I use Microsoft Translator together with DeepL?
Yes. If both engines are configured, linguists can choose between them for each file in the editor.
Who decides what is kept from the machine translation?
The linguist. Suggestions are a starting point that translators review and edit, so people stay in control of the final text.
Should I run translation memory first?
Yes. Run your translation memory first so earlier translations come back exactly as agreed, then machine-translate the remaining segments.
