AWS describes how to translate and configure terminology. Open the source

One term for catalogue and reference

The name of the item in the store and in the instructions should sound the same. Amazon Translate allows you to transfer user terminology along with a translation request. This helps to anchor the translation for titles, components and expressions that must match the directory. AWS warns that the terminology is applied with rules and context in mind. Checking the actual result is useful even for simple words.

The documentation describes modes for text, documents and batch tasks. Formats and availability depend on the chosen method.

Check the dictionary for two meanings

Take a tutorial description of the mount and a note about the directory section with a similar name. Add the translation of the name of the part in the user terminology. Send both texts with the language and dictionary. See if the expected term appeared in the description of the detail and whether the name of the section remains natural. If one source term has to be translated in several ways, separate the materials or change the rule.

Check the word form in the middle of the sentence. The name in the nominative case may look appropriate in the title and not fit in the usual phrase.

Transition from sample to package

To automate, check AWS permissions and the location where files are stored. First, translate a small group and save the source directory along with the results. Payment rules are specified by the developer. When the terminology changes, translate the control phrases again and compare them with the previous version.
