Three SYSTRAN neural machine translation (NMT) engines accessible through Pontoon

[Jeff Beatty]

Hi everyone,

We have an update on the work we’ve been doing with SYSTRAN to provide you
with better machine translation options in Pontoon. As of last week,
SYSTRAN has published three NMT models (German, French, and Spanish) based
on your contributions. These models were published to the SYSTRAN
Marketplace as free and open source and are accessible to any existing
SYSTRAN NMT customers. In the future, we hope to make those models
available beyond the SYSTRAN system.

These models have already been integrated with Pontoon and are available to
you as of today in the Machinery tab. Please report any feedback that you
have for them, as we want to make sure these are a useful resource for your
contributions. We will work with SYSTRAN to identify three more language
pairs that they will produce by the end of 2020. We'll be working with
SYSTRAN to learn how to build the models for new language pairs in 2021,
which should widely expand the language coverage.

As always, if you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks,

Jeff
