Translation

Dynamically translate between languages using Google machine learning

Fast, dynamic translation tailored to your content needs

Translation enables organizations to dynamically translate between languages using Google’s pre-trained or custom machine learning models.

AutoML Translation

Developers, translators, and localization experts with limited machine learning expertise can quickly create high-quality, production-ready models. Just upload translated language pairs and AutoML Translation will train a custom model that you can scale and adapt to meet your domain-specific needs.

Translation API

Translation API Basic instantly translates texts into more than one hundred languages for your website and apps. Translation API Advanced offers the same fast, dynamic results you get with Basic and additional customization features. Customization matters for domain- and context-specific terms or phrases.

Media Translation API

Media Translation API delivers real-time audio translation directly to your content and applications with enhanced accuracy and simplified integration. You can also improve user experience with low-latency streaming translation and scale quickly with straightforward internationalization.

Benefits

Translate many languages

Translate many languages

Translation API’s pre-trained model supports more than one hundred languages, from Afrikaans to Zulu. AutoML Translation lets you build custom models in more than fifty language pairs.

Language detection

Language detection

When you don’t know your source text language — for instance, in user-generated content that doesn’t include a language code — our translation products automatically identify languages with high accuracy.

Glossary support

Glossary support

Translation API’s glossary can help you maintain your brand in translated content. Simply define the vocabulary you want prioritized, then save the glossary file to your translation project, and those words and phrases will be included in your copy.

Highly scalable

Highly scalable

Our translation products scale seamlessly. We provide a generous daily quota and let you set lower limits. And you can use batch translation with Google Cloud Storage to reduce the workflow complexity of translating long or multiple text files.

Easy integration

Easy integration

Translation’s easy-to-use Google REST API means you don’t have to extract text from your document; just send the HTML and you’ll get back translated text.

Simple, affordable pricing

Simple, affordable pricing

Translation charges on a per-character basis, even if the character is multiple bytes. AutoML Translation charges for training, per-character prediction usage, and storage. You only pay for what you use, so our products are usually more affordable than other options.

Customers

The advantages of Cloud Translation API are not only the number of languages available, but the quality of the translation. An API with more languages that doesn’t have accurate translation wouldn’t interest us, because we want to provide users with the most efficient service.
