MT Services
- Improve Auto-assembling with Machine Translation
- Let the activated Machine Translation engines try to improve the auto-assembling result by searching for and inserting terms that are not present in your glossary or TMX for terms.

What you want (maybe)
Go to next segment
Auto-Assemble from own resources
Find untranslated snippets
Send untranslated snippets to MT
Insert MT results
CafeTran does exactly the above (sending untranslated snippets in a query) but it also appends the full source segment to this query so that MT could also provide the pure, untouched by Autoassembling result. Then, you have a choice which result to choose in your translation: pure MT or MT+AA. However the query is longer: untranslated snippets + a full source segment.
When you use Improve AA with MT, CafeTran sends the double query to the MT service. One to get pure MT and the other to get MT+AA results.
You can now stop MT by hovering over the tabbed pane and selecting Stop automatic MT service. This setting will be remembered between sessions. Other items in this context menu are:
