Abstract
ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH manufactures injection moulding machines and the necessary automation systems for customers all over the world. It is headquartered in Schwertberg, Upper Austria, and employs more than 7000 people. Since ENGEL has locations all over the world and the translation of texts and entire documents plays a major role, not only to be able to communicate, but also to ensure the reusability of existing documents and thus save time, the desire for a uniform translation option arose. The customer’s request was to have a tool that could translate both texts and documents. It was also important to her to integrate the glossary for translating technical terms correctly in order to prevent misunderstandings and avoid subsequent problems. On the ENGEL-Translate website, ENGEL employees can enter texts, upload documents, and have them translated. The site is based on user-friendliness and allows users to change the interface language to English or German. A translator resource in Microsoft Azure is responsible for the translation itself. It is governed by Microsoft Azure Entra, who has access to the translation tool and therefore access is not granted to external parties. The aim of the work was to develop a web application for the company with basic functionality. Furthermore, various extensions (billing, database connectivity, integration of the company’s own glossary) were to be prepared as part of a proof of concept to the extent that ENGEL could use these decisions in further development.
