Frequently Asked Questions

No, one of the benefits of using Smart MT is the ability to easily change MT engines at any time. MT vendor lock-in is problematic because big tech companies continuously invest in and improve their engines.
In addition, each MT engine performs differently by language pair and by domain, so no single MT engine will ever deliver best-in-class performance for all of your needs. Smart MT enables you to leverage the best options, with the ultimate ability to be flexible as advancements and improvements become available in the market.
Smart MT supports leading MT engine providers like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Yandex and DeepL.
