Translate content instantly with our machine translation API

A machine translation API is a software interface that connects your applications directly to automated translation services. Instead of manually copying and pasting text into different translation tools, the API handles everything automatically.

Our machine translation API works by receiving your content through a simple integration, then routing it to the most suitable translation engine based on your predefined rules. The system can connect to multiple providers like Google, DeepL, and Microsoft simultaneously, choosing the best option for each specific translation task.

XTM supports all major machine translation providers through our comprehensive API integration. This includes Google Translate, DeepL, Amazon Translate, Microsoft Translator, and Systran, among others.

You can use multiple engines simultaneously and set up routing rules to automatically select the best provider for different language pairs or content types. This flexibility ensures you always get optimal translation quality whilst maintaining cost efficiency across your projects.

Our Xera quality estimation technology analyses machine translation output in real time to predict accuracy levels before human review. The system examines linguistic patterns, context consistency, and translation confidence indicators to generate quality scores.

This allows you to automatically identify which translations meet your standards and which need human attention. You can set custom quality thresholds for different content types, ensuring critical materials receive appropriate review whilst routine content flows through automatically.

Yes, our machine translation API is designed for seamless integration with existing translation management systems and content workflows. The API uses standard REST protocols and provides comprehensive documentation for quick implementation.

You can maintain your current project management processes whilst adding intelligent automation for translation routing and quality control. The system adapts to your workflow rather than requiring you to change established procedures.

When our quality estimation system detects low-confidence translations, the content automatically routes to human translators based on your predefined fallback rules. This ensures quality standards are maintained without manual intervention.

You can customise these thresholds for different content types and languages. Critical marketing content might have stricter quality requirements than internal documentation, and the system handles these distinctions automatically whilst keeping your projects moving forward.

XTM maintains brand consistency through integrated glossary and translation memory alignment with your machine translation API workflows. Your approved terminology and previous translations guide the MT engines to produce consistent results.

The system automatically applies your brand glossaries and translation memories to machine translation output, ensuring consistent terminology usage. When combined with quality estimation, this approach maintains brand voice whilst delivering the speed benefits of automated translation.

Our machine translation API typically reduces translation costs by 40% through intelligent engine routing and automated quality control. The system selects cost-effective engines for routine content whilst reserving premium services for critical materials.

Additionally, the API eliminates manual processing overhead and reduces human review time through accurate quality prediction. Teams can focus their expertise on content that truly needs human attention, maximising both cost efficiency and translation quality.

Most teams can implement our machine translation API within a few days using our comprehensive documentation and support resources. The API follows standard REST protocols that most development teams are familiar with.

We provide detailed integration guides, code examples, and dedicated technical support to ensure smooth implementation. Many customers start seeing benefits immediately after connecting their first MT engine, with full workflow automation typically achieved within the first week.

Yes, our machine translation API includes enterprise-grade security features suitable for sensitive business content. All data transmission uses encryption, and we offer on-premises deployment options for organisations with strict data governance requirements.

You can also configure the system to route sensitive content exclusively to specific MT providers or human translators based on your security policies. This flexibility ensures compliance whilst maintaining the efficiency benefits of automated translation workflows.

XTM provides comprehensive support for machine translation API users, including technical documentation, implementation assistance, and ongoing customer success management. Our team helps optimise your MT workflows based on your specific content and quality requirements.

Support includes API troubleshooting, workflow optimisation recommendations, and regular performance reviews to ensure you’re maximising the benefits of automated translation. We also provide training resources to help your team make the most of advanced features like quality estimation and intelligent routing.
