automated translation

Computer-converted language text

Automated translation is the conversion of text or speech from one language to another by computer software rather than human translators.

Also called machine translation.

Early systems used rule-based approaches; modern ones rely on neural networks trained on vast multilingual datasets.

Quality varies widely—adequate for grasping meaning, often inadequate for nuance: I ran the article through automated translation to get the gist.
