AppTek Machine Translation
McLean, Virginia, United States
What it is
AppTek Machine Translation is a paid translation and localization service for enterprise applications. It offers customizable neural machine translation through web access, APIs, and self-hosted deployment. The company says its models support hundreds of language pairs, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Ukrainian. Organizations can adapt models with their translation memory and create glossaries for specialized terminology. Document-level processing uses the surrounding document to improve references such as pronouns and gender. Translation can run in real time through HTTP REST or streaming gRPC APIs, or in batches, with cloud and on-premise models. The API accepts UTF-8 text, SRT files, and JSON, and provides glossary, metadata, callback, and priority controls. Additional tools include language identification, syntax parsing, subtitle segmentation, document alignment, and named entity transliteration. AppTek identifies retail, media, government, interviews, customer engagement, and emerging technology as use cases. A free account provides access to base-model translation services, while commercial pricing is available on request.
