We're excited to announce our latest innovation, the "MT on-the-fly" feature, which offers real-time translation of SAP Help Portal content, powered by SAP’s AI-based Machine Translation from SAP Translation Hub.

Having finished our internal validation process, we're grateful to everyone who participated and offered their insightful feedback.

Commencing on Wednesday, May 22, and continuing until June 14 (links might work even after this period of time), we're extending an invitation to everyone, both within and outside SAP, to try out the machine translation of our SAP Help Portal content. Products available for trial include:

During this piloting phase, we're eagerly inviting external engagement. Much like in the internal validation stage, constructive feedback is crucial to perfecting the final feature.

Existing human translations will be prioritized, with machine translations filling in where human translations aren't available. PDFs, What's New Viewer, Product Pages, and graphics aren't currently supported but will be included in future updates. 

Upcoming Milestones 

In Q3 2024, we plan to make "MT on-the-fly" live with selected products in 10 languages, and expand the language scope to 38 languages by December 2024. 

 

 

Machine translation (MT) is the process of automatically translating texts from a source language to a target language, based on artificial intelligence methods and previously translated data. We are using the machine translation provided by Document Translation from SAP Translation Hub. The machine translation has been trained to perform at its best when translating documents that contain SAP-related content, and it is available in the languages supported by SAP Translation Hub. Document Translation can be used as a stand-alone service under the commercial offering of SAP Translation Hub (available on SAP Business Technology Platform), or via existing integrations (such as the one available in SAP Enable Now).
