Neural machine translation API inside AWS with custom terminology support
Amazon Translate is AWS's neural machine translation service, called from an application or used to translate documents held in S3 in bulk. It covers a wide language list, supports both real-time and asynchronous batch jobs, and can be constrained with custom terminology files so product names and domain vocabulary stay fixed. Active custom translation goes further by letting you supply parallel examples that steer the model toward your own material. Its main argument is integration: translation becomes one step in a pipeline alongside storage, queues and analytics. There is no consumer interface, so it is infrastructure for developers.

It has no interface for translating. You call an API or run a batch job, and the output goes back to your application or into storage, so it suits systems rather than individuals working with text by hand.
They map source terms to fixed target terms, so brand names, part numbers and regulated vocabulary are not reinvented in every sentence. For technical documentation that alone often decides whether output is usable.
For documents already stored in S3 and for large volumes where waiting is acceptable. Real-time calls suit user-facing requests, while batch jobs are cheaper for bulk work and easier to schedule.
