LILT x GOOGLE TRANSLATE

In 2023, LILT built an integration with Google Translate. With this integration, customers can input their GCP credentials and send documents to Google Translate for both instant translation and AI>Review workflows. This integration can:

• Integrate with Google Translate and pull Google Translate content into LILT

• Deploy Google Translate content in workflows

• Send training data back to Google Translate for fine-tuning

Below is a description of how this is completed. 

Configuring Google Translate within LILT is a straightforward process. In LILT’s AI Hub, users upload a Google service account credentials file and specify their bucketname. Once this is complete, a user navigates to LILT Model Hub to create a Google model. Creating a model in LILT sends a request to create an AutoML model within Google. If the user desires, they can send bilingual translations stored in LILT to fine-tune the Google model. A fine-tuned model will produce translations which are more contextually accurate to the bilingual training data.

Once a Google model is created within LILT, it can be used for translating documents and in LILT’s AI>Review workflow. The translation of documents will use an API call to Google to complete a document translation. The AI>Review workflow is similar, but different in that the translated document is parsed into LILT’s CAT editor, where a reviewer can go through and make post-editing modifications as needed.
