FAQs

Q: Which Amazon Translate actions do I need to include in the IAM policy? A: Translate, S3 bucket Q: Do specific resource types need to be indicated in the policy or the ARN? A: Ideally yes, you would create a very specific IAM. Without specific resource types, someone could have more or less privileges than what you want on your AWS account. Q: For the ARN, we need more information about what exactly is required. Is this for encryption? A: No it is to access translate client, S3, and other resources needed for translation. Q: What happens if we turn on the “Use Terminology” option? Will this create a terminology resource in AWS with our LILT glossary/TB or the other way around (it will use custom terminology already uploaded to AWS)? A: LILT will send the terminology from the data source to AWS, and the terminology will be used in AWS.
