- Glossaries are request-specific rather than permanent translation memories

Our verdict on eTranslation

eTranslation is the European Commission’s neural machine translation service for eligible public administrations, small businesses, academic organisations, NGOs, Digital Europe projects, and EU-job candidates. It supports text and document submission across the 24 EU official languages, along with additional languages. Users can select EU formal or general translation styles, while developers can connect translation workflows through an API. The service also supports website translation through API integrations and the WEB-T website translation plugin.

Its strongest fit is document and website translation where EU language coverage and terminology control matter. Common office formats, including PDF, are supported, and glossary-based controls can guide terminology for a specific request. Professional translators can receive TMX or XLIFF output, making the service more suitable for workflows that continue beyond an automated translation. API access adds a path for software and website integrations, while WEB-T provides a dedicated website translation option.

The main trade-off is eligibility rather than subscription cost: access is free for eligible users, but external users generally need registration. Glossaries are request-specific instead of permanently stored translation memories, which may limit continuity for organisations managing recurring terminology across projects. eTranslation suits eligible European organisations that need free neural translation with document, website, and integration support. It is less suitable for users outside the eligibility requirements or teams seeking a paid plan structure with persistent translation-memory management.
