You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Microsoft Translator''' is a multilingual [[machine translation]] cloud service provided by [[Microsoft]]. Microsoft Translator is a part of Microsoft Cognitive Services<ref>((Cite book|last=Carmen.|first=Steiner|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/81702109|title=Pilotstudie: über die Funktion des Anhebens der Augenbrauen in der Deutschschweizerischen Gebärdensprache DSGS|date=2000|publisher=Verein zur Unterstützung der Gebärdensprache der Gehörlosen|oclc=81702109))</ref> and integrated across multiple consumer, developer, and enterprise products, including [[Bing (search engine)|Bing]], [[Microsoft Office]], [[SharePoint]], [[Microsoft Edge]], [[Microsoft Lync]], [[Yammer]], [[Skype Translator]], [[Visual Studio]], and Microsoft Translator apps for [[Windows]], [[Windows Phone]], [[iPhone]] and [[Apple Watch]], and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] phone and [[Android Wear]].

Microsoft Translator also offers text and speech translation through cloud services for businesses. Service for text translation via the Translator Text API ranges from a free tier supporting two million characters per month to paid tiers supporting billions of characters per month.<ref name="datamarket.azure.com">((cite web|title=Azure Data Marketplace- Microsoft Translator|url=https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/bing/microsofttranslator|access-date=2014-12-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180206203347/http://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/bing/microsofttranslator|archive-date=2018-02-06|url-status=dead))</ref> Speech translation via Microsoft Speech services is offered based on the time of the audio stream.

The service supports text translation between many languages and language varieties. It also supports several speech translation systems that currently power the Microsoft Translator live conversation feature, Skype Translator, and Skype for Windows Desktop, and the Microsoft Translator Apps for [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]].<ref name="Microsoft Translator- Languages">((cite web|title=Microsoft Translator- Languages|website=[[Microsoft]]|url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/languages.aspx|access-date=January 6, 2023))</ref>

== Development ==
=== History ===
The first version of Microsoft's machine translation system was developed between 1999 and 2000 within [[Microsoft Research]]. This system was based on semantic predicate-argument structures known as [[logical form]]s (LF) and was spun from the grammar correction feature developed for [[Microsoft Word]]. This system was eventually used to translate the entire Microsoft Knowledge Base into Spanish, French, German, and Japanese.<ref>((cite web|title=Microsoft Research- Arul Menezes|url=http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/arulm/))</ref>

Microsoft's approach to machine translation, like most modern machine translation systems, is "[[Data-driven programming|data driven]]":<ref name="research.microsoft.com">((cite web|title=Microsoft Research- Machine Translation|url=http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/mt/))</ref> rather than relying on writing explicit rules to translate [[natural language]], algorithms are trained to understand and interpret translated [[parallel text]]s, allowing them to automatically learn how to translate new natural language text. Microsoft's experience with the LF system led directly to a treelet translation system that simplified the LF to [[Dependency grammar|dependency trees]] and eventually to an order template model, significantly improving in speed and enabling the incorporation of new target languages. ((Citation needed|date=April 2019))

The consumer-facing translation site known as Bing Translator (previously known as Windows Live translator) was launched in 2007 and provides free text and website translations on the web. Text is translated directly within the Bing Translator webpage while websites are translated through the Bilingual Viewer tools.((Citation needed|date=April 2019))

In 2011, the service was extended to include numerous Microsoft Translator products through a [[cloud computing|cloud-based]] [[application programming interface]], which supports products available to both consumer and enterprise users. An additional speech translation capability was introduced in March 2016.<ref name="Microsoft Translator brings end-to-end speech translation to everyone with the world’s first Speech Translation API">((cite web|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/translation/archive/2016/03/30/microsoft-translator-brings-end-to-end-speech-translation-to-everyone-with-the-world-s-first-speech-translation-api.aspx|title=Microsoft Translator brings end-to-end speech translation to everyone with the world's first Speech Translation API))</ref>

In May 2018, an update to the API was introduced. This new version offered neural machine translation as the default method of translating. In addition to translation, the new version features [[transliteration]] and a bilingual dictionary to look up words to find alternative translations and view examples in sentences.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/translatorapi.aspx/|title=Microsoft Translator- Translator Text API|website=[[Microsoft]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190902184414/https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/business/translator-api/|archive-date=2019-09-02))</ref>

Speech translation was integrated into Microsoft Speech services in September 2018, providing end-to-end speech, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech translation.((Citation needed|date=April 2019))

=== Translation methodology and research ===
Microsoft Translator uses machine translation to create instantaneous translations from one natural language to another. This system is based on four distinct areas of computer learning research seen below.<ref name="research.microsoft.com"/>

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Type of learning !! Impact on translation
|-
| Neural networks<br />[[Neural machine translation]] || Neural networks try to mimic how the brain works to translate between languages. At a high level, neural network translation works in two stages. First, a first stage models the word that needs to be translated based on the context of this word (and its possible translations) within the full sentence. Second, the neural network translates this word model (not the word itself but the model the neural networks built of it), within the context of the sentence, into the other language.<ref>((cite web|title=What is neural network based translation?|url=https://microsofttranslator.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1099027-what-is-neural-network-based-translation|access-date=2016-11-28|archive-date=2021-02-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208195336/https://microsofttranslator.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1099027-what-is-neural-network-based-translation|url-status=dead))</ref> Neural machine translation is the default translation method for the Microsoft Translator API.
|-
| Syntax-based SMT<br />((main|Statistical machine translation)) || Syntax-based translation is based on the idea of translating syntactic units, rather than a word or string of words. Microsoft has used syntax-based SMT to translate much of its computer-related texts from English into multiple target languages. Ongoing research in this area has produced improvements in word inflections and word ordering.
|-
| Phrase-based SMT || In phrase-based SMT, the machine learns correspondence between languages from parallel text without the aid of linguist knowledge. This produces better translations in less time than other systems.
|-
| [[Bitext word alignment]] || SMT systems rely on existing translated data to learn how to automatically translate from one language to another. To train the systems, identifying word correspondences (or word alignments) is crucial. Microsoft has developed work in both discriminative<ref>((cite web|title=A Discriminative Framework for Bilingual Word Alignment|url=http://www.aclweb.org/anthology-new/H/H05/H05-1011.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080720142028/http://www.aclweb.org/anthology-new/H/H05/H05-1011.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2008-07-20))</ref> and generative<ref>((cite web|title=Using Word Dependent Transition Models in HMM based Word Alignment for Statistical Machine Translation|url=http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/mt/w07-0711.pdf))</ref> approaches to word alignment, resulting in faster algorithms and higher quality and translations.
|-
| [[Language model]]ing || Language modeling uses [[n-gram|''n''-gram]] models to construct comprehensible translations in the target language. This ensures that the output translation is fluent and readable.
|}

=== Accuracy ===
The quality of Microsoft Translator’s machine translation outputs are evaluated using a method called the [[BLEU]] score.<ref>((cite web|title=Microsoft Translator Hub: Discussion of BLEU Score| date=23 May 2013 |url=http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/default.aspx?id=193716))</ref>

BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) is an algorithm for evaluating the quality of text which has been machine-translated from one [[natural language]] to another. Quality is considered to be the correspondence between a machine's output and that of a human. BLEU was one of the first [[measurement|metric]]s to achieve a high [[correlation]] with human judgments of quality, and remains one of the most popular automated and inexpensive metrics.

Because machine translation is based on statistical algorithms rather than human translators, the automatic translations it produces are not always entirely accurate. Microsoft Translator has introduced various feedback features, such as the Collaborative Translation Framework, into its products to allow users to suggest alternative translations. These alternative translations are then integrated into the Microsoft Translator algorithms to improve future translations.

In November 2016, Microsoft Translator introduced translation using deep neural networks in nine of its highest-traffic languages, including all of its speech languages and Japanese. Neural networks provide better translation than industry standard statistical machine learning.<ref>((cite web|title=Microsoft Translator launching Neural Network based translations for all its speech languages|date=16 November 2016|url=https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/translation/2016/11/15/microsoft-translator-launching-neural-network-based-translations-for-all-its-speech-languages/))</ref>

== Core products ==
Microsoft Translator is a cloud-based API that is integrated into numerous Microsoft products and services.<ref>((cite web|title=Microsoft Translator- Products|website=[[Microsoft]]|url=http://www.microsoft.com/translator/products.aspx))</ref> The Translator API can be used on its own and can be customized for use in a pre-publishing or post-publishing environment. The API, which is available through subscription, is free for lower translation volumes, and is charged according to a tiered payment system for volumes exceeding two million characters per month.<ref name="datamarket.azure.com"/> The remaining core products are available for free.

=== Microsoft Translator cloud translation ===
The Microsoft Translator is a cloud-based automatic translation service that can be used to build applications, websites, and tools requiring multi-language support.
*Text translation: The Microsoft Translator Text API can be used to translate text into any of the languages supported by the service.
*Speech translation: Microsoft Translator is integrated into Microsoft Speech services which is an end-to-end REST based API that can be used to build applications, tools, or any solution requiring multi-languages speech translation. Speech to speech translation is available to or from any of the conversation languages, and speech to text translation is available from the conversation languages into any of the Microsoft Translator-supported language systems.

=== Custom Translator ===
Custom Translator is a feature of the Microsoft Translator services that allows enterprises, app developers, and language service providers to build neural translation systems that understand the terminology used in their own business and industry. The customized translations can then be delivered into existing applications, workflows and websites using a normal call to the Microsoft Translator API. Custom Translator can be used when translating text with the Microsoft Translator Text API and when translating speech with Microsoft Speech services.<ref>((cite web|title=Microsoft Translator- Customization|website=[[Microsoft]]|url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/customization.aspx))</ref>

=== Live feature ===
A personal universal translator that enables up to 500 people to have live, multi-device, multi-language, in-person translated conversations.<ref>((cite web|title=Microsoft Translator live feature|website=[[Microsoft]]|date=18 July 2023 |url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/live.aspx))</ref> This feature is currently free and available in the Microsoft Translator apps (Android, iOS or Windows) and from the Microsoft Translator website.

=== Microsoft Translator Hub ===
The Microsoft Translator Hub allows enterprises and language service providers to build their own translation systems that understand business- and industry-specific terminology.<ref>((cite web|title=Microsoft Translator- Translator Hub|website=[[Microsoft]]|url=http://www.microsoft.com/translator/translator-hub.aspx))</ref> The Hub can also be used in conjunction with the CTF, allowing administrators to approve CTF results and add them directly to the Hub. The Microsoft Translator Hub is only available for statistical machine translation and cannot be used with the newest version of the Microsoft Translator API.

The Hub has also been used for language preservation, allowing communities to create their own language translation systems for language and cultural preservation.<ref>((cite web|title=Where Language Meets the World: Microsoft Translator Hub|website = [[YouTube]]|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnROjeEHqDE&list=PLD7HFcN7LXRd4kd2XgZjIbQ8TwTC32Zc9&index=9 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211220/UnROjeEHqDE |archive-date=2021-12-20 |url-status=live))((cbignore))</ref> The Hub has been used to create translation systems for languages such as Hmong, Mayan, Nepali, and Welsh.

=== Multilingual App Toolkit (MAT) ===
The Multilingual App Toolkit (MAT) is an integrated Visual Studio tool, which allows developers to streamline localization workflows of their Windows, Windows Phone and desktop apps.<ref>((cite web|title=Microsoft Translator- Multilingual App Toolkit|website=[[Microsoft]]|url=http://www.microsoft.com/translator/multilingual-app-toolkit.aspx))</ref> MAT improves localization of file management, translation support, and editing tools.
