    Why choose a custom MT integration

    Your business needs specialised translation that generic engines can't deliver. Custom MT gives you complete flexibility to use any machine translation engine, including proprietary models, internal systems, or niche domain-specific solutions.

    Whether you're working with highly technical content, industry-specific terminology, or confidential data that requires on-premise processing, custom MT puts you in control.

    FAQs

    Which machine translation engines can I connect?

    Any MT engine that supports API integration can connect to XTM Cloud. This includes proprietary models, open-source solutions like OpenNMT, commercial engines, and custom-trained models. Our SDK supports both REST APIs and direct integration methods for maximum flexibility.

    How does custom MT work with XTM's quality features?

    Your custom MT output gets enhanced with XTM's quality tools. SmartContext adds relevant background information to improve translation accuracy. Intelligent Score provides automated quality evaluation. Language Guard checks terminology consistency and compliance rules. These features work regardless of which MT engine you use.

    Can I use multiple custom MT engines simultaneously?

    Yes, you can connect multiple MT engines and set up intelligent routing rules. XTM can automatically direct different content types, languages, or domains to the most appropriate engine. You maintain full control over which engine handles specific translation tasks.

    What technical requirements are needed for integration?

    Your MT engine needs API access or SDK compatibility. XTM supports standard REST APIs, webhooks, and custom integration protocols. Our technical team provides documentation and support during setup. Most integrations complete within a few days, depending on your MT system's complexity.
