Tip: In the below article, you can learn how to use an MT or LLM Profile as a translation provider in your workflows. For a full step-by-step guide on setting up a Machine Translation workflow, visit this article.
Once you have created MT or LLM Profiles, you can configure them for use in translation workflows:
- Go to Projects (select a project) > Settings tab > Workflows
- Click on the Translation step
- In the Translation provider dropdown, select an MT or LLM Profile that has been previously created
- (Optional) Define Alternate MT Profiles: if a string cannot be translated by the assigned MT or LLM Profile, you can choose other MT or LLM Profiles to translate the string
- (Optional) Define a Fallback Method: if a string cannot be translated by any MT or LLM providers due to an error, you can choose a different workflow step to automatically move these strings to
- A translation issue will be raised on the string even if you do not designate a Fallback Method
- The Fallback Method workflow step must support the same languages as the current MT step. If there are no options in the Fallback Method dropdown, then that means that there are no other workflows that support the same languages
- If a Fallback Method is not defined, the string will stay in the translation step until a user manually changes the workflow
- If you want Machine Translations to be processed through an edit step after the initial MT step, you need to understand how Machine Translations are saved to the Translation Memory
To find out which workflows use a specific MT or LLM Profile:
- Click into the AI Hub from the top navigation bar of your Smartling dashboard.
- Select Translation Profiles.
- In the Workflows column, click the number to view a list of active workflows that use the MT or LLM Profile.
