the OP in this thread is dealing with what i'm dealing:
[url removed]
so, i have no active machine translation plugins nothing is ticked/configured on that list. and i don't know which one (if any) is free / good.
crosslang gateway MT
googleMT
etc.
i have activated and use the MyMemory plugin that i thought would do this, but that's in "TM plugins," not at the "Machine Translation" -selection. in studio, it pulls the machine translations and prepopulates with them - either gTranslate, or a human one, if such exist in their database. in memoQ, no such luck.
so what IS the difference between "TM plugins" and "Machine Translation?"
which one of the API vendors provides a free / good Machine Translation?
cheers.

that a good machine translation can be free and vice versa (except MyMemory). I use GoogleMT. They have free translation threshold and then charge a rather small payment for ACTUAL translations. I don't know its performance in other domains except medical and legal texts but undoubtedly Google MT helps to increase productivity and the quality in my main domains and languages is satisfactory. Of course these are my 2 cents only.
