Update: eTranslation makes general text engines available in five languages



The CEF eTranslation Building Block is making new general text engines available in five languages: German, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian and Polish.

In addition to the general improvement brought about by more data, better data filtering and adjustments to the machine learning processes, a specific processing step now helps to handle long sentences better.

Very long sentences are difficult for neutral machine translation, which may at times drop sections or repeat others.

These long sentences are now intelligently divided before translation and recombined afterwards into a coherent text.

This improvement will move on to all eTranslation engines as they are upgraded. 

What is eTranslation?

eTranslation is an automated translation tool available to translate text excerpts or complete documents. It is also a Building Block you can integrate into your digital systems, if you need to embed them with translation capabilities.
