What is Kantan Machine Translation?

Kantan Machine Translation (MT) is automated translation using the computing power, convenience and flexibility of the cloud. We provide all the hardware and software while you focus on the quality and precision of your translations.

Traditional Machine Translation applications have always been very complicated and expensive to use. The amount and variety of hardware and software required to run them are daunting. You need a whole team of experts to install, configure, test, run, secure, and update them.

With KantanMT, you simply launch your browser, logon, customise the app and start using it. In many cases, you can be up and running within a few minutes!

KantanMT is a statistical machine translation technology

Statistical machine translation utilizes statistical translation models generated from the analysis of monolingual and bilingual content. Essentially this approach uses computing power to build sophisticated data models to translate one source language into another. This makes the usage of statistical MT a far simpler proposition than traditional rule-based MT systems.

KantanMT requires lots of computing power to generate translation data models. The cloud provides an abundance of this computing power. KantanMT uses this to ensure high quality, consistent translations for you.
