Automation-enhanced translation workflow
A method is described that includes receiving a request to translate source content from a first language to a second language. The method includes processing the source content to generate first anonymized content by automatically anonymizing confidential information in the source content. The method also includes providing the first anonymized content to a first service provider to provide anonymization input and processing the first anonymized content with the anonymization input to generate second anonymized content. The method further includes obtaining a machine translation of the second anonymized content from the first language to the second language and providing the machine translation to a second service provider to provide translation input. The method further includes processing the machine translation with the translation input to generate translated content.
