Google Translator Toolkit is a web app designed to enable translators to edit translations generated automatically by Google Translate. With Google Translator Toolkit, translators can organize their work and use shared translations, glossaries, and translation memories. They can upload and translate Microsoft Word documents, OpenDocument, RTF, HTML, text, and Wikipedia articles.
Google Translator Toolkit is powered by Google Translate, a web-based translation service. Google Translator Toolkit can be configured to automatically translate uploaded documents using Google Translate.
Google Translator Toolkit released by Google Inc. on June 8, 2009. This product is expected to be named Google Translation Center, as it was announced in August 2008. However, the Google Translate Toolkit turned out to be a less ambitious product: "document rather than project-based, intended not as a process management package but only a memory tool other personal translation ".
Google claims that the Google Translator Toolkit is part of their "efforts to make universally accessible information through translation" and "help translators better translate and more quickly through a shared and innovative translation technology." Initially Google Translator Toolkit is meant to attract collaborative-minded people, such as those who translate Wikipedia entries or materials for non-governmental organizations. However, it is now also more widely used in commercial translation projects.
"The Importance of Google Translator Toolkit is its position as a fully-featured online software-as-a service (SaaS) that mainstreams some of the company's backend features and up to now periphery innovation, presaging radical changes in how and by whom the translation is done."

Workflow
The Google Translator Toolkit workflow can be described as follows. First, users upload files from their desktop or enter the URL of the web page or Wikipedia article they want to translate. Google Translator Toolkit automatically 'transcrates before' documents. It divides the document into segments, usually sentences, headers, or bullets. Next, he looks for all the available translation databases for earlier human translations of each segment. If there is an earlier human translation of that segment, Google Translator Toolkit retrieves the highest ranked search results and 'interprets' the segment with that translation. If no previous human translation of that segment, it uses machine translation to produce 'automatic translation' for that segment, without intervention from human translators.
Users can then work to review and upgrade automatic translations. They can click on the sentence and fix the translation, or they can use the Google translation tool to help them translate by clicking on the "Show toolkit" button.
Using the toolkit, they can view translations previously entered by other users on the "Search results translation" tab, or use the "Dictionary" tab to find the right translation for hard to find words. In addition, translators can use features such as custom, multilingual glossaries and view machine translation for reference. They can also share their translations with their friends by clicking on the "Share" button and inviting them to help edit or view their translations. When done, they can download the translation to their desktop. For Wikipedia articles, they can easily republish to the source page.
