Introduction
XTM Clouds offers the feature of AI-driven placement of inline tags in machine-translated (MT) text. In other words, the feature works only for projects that utilize one of the available MT engines in the XTM Cloud UI.
The feature can be enabled and configured for each and every MT engine available in XTM Cloud. Go to Configuration → Settings → Translation → Machine Translation → (select an MT engine) → (scroll down to a section for this particular MT engine) → Use auto inline tag placement.
How does the auto inline tag placement work?
This feature uses the XTM NLP framework for the automatic placement of inline tags in the machine translation.
As you can see, there are three options to choose from:
Never → If you select this setting, the inline tags are NOT processed by the auto-insert mechanism. XTM Cloud retains the structure of the inline tags inside matches as received from the MT.
Only incorrect inline tags → If you select this setting, the inline tags are sent to an MT engine and the auto-insert mechanism only works for MT matches that have an incorrect inline tag structure, for example:
too many inline tags in a match.
missing or too few inline tags in a match.
Always → If you select this setting, after receiving the translation from MT system, the auto-insert mechanism works for all matches received from MT.
IMPORTANT!
Keep in mind that the auto inline tag placement feature is not going to entirely solve the issue of accidental misplacement and/or removal of inline tags!
Since, this AI-driven feature is not always 100% accurate, you are obliged to double-check the correctness of auto-placed inline tags within a particular segment, and ensure that their number is consistent with the number of inline tags in the source segment, in XTM Workbench.
Auto-insert inline tags option
There is also the so called Auto-insert inline tags option, which is a separate out-of-the-box feature available in XTM Cloud, the purpose of which is the same as in the case of AI-driven auto placement of inline tags.
