Before you can use machine translation, you must
configure the adapter in the page. Click
Add in the row for
the adapter you want to configure. In the configuration page that
appears, you supply information that depends upon the adapter you
are configuring. Adapters require the following:
-
-
-
A URL to which WorldServer can connect to perform lookups (not required
by GlobalConnect or the pseudotranslator adapters)
-
-
(GlobalConnect) Account ID for the ToD account.
-
(GlobalConnect) User ID for the ToD user.
-
(GlobalConnect) API Key for the ToD account.
-
(GlobalConnect) Touchpoint ID used for translations
-
A score that you want WorldServer to assign to all matches, which
you can use when determining whether to use the machine translation
or the translation memory translation. (not required by GlobalConnect)
You can test that your configuration works before exiting the configuration
page.
