Enhanced AI/MT offerings through platform integrations
Lingotek partnership and integration
Lingotek users can now take full control over their machine translation requirements by deploying Intento’s MT hub directly into their workflow. The addition of AI-driven applications will significantly broaden the scope of MT providers that can be supported through Lingotek’s platform, leveraging Intento’s curated tools and services for greater choice and flexibility in enabling the best-fit MT.
Smartcat connector
Intento MT Hub is now available as a meta-MT engine for Smartcat users with the Unite subscription package. By default, Inteno will pick the best MT engines depending on your language pair, increasing the overall MT quality, however, you’re free to customize your settings to match each project.
Working with Intento from Memsource
When Intento clients requested to use curated machine translation with custom pipelines in Memsource, and there was no integration available, the Intento team started thinking out of the box. Our experts unlocked the possibility of using Intento MT Hub from Memsource via the Apertium connector. It means that Memsource users can access their Intento MT Hub as if it is an Apertium model — easy as pie. To learn more, contact our team for a demo request!
