# Google Translate

Google Translate is a machine translation service for text and other content, depending on the features available. It can help people understand information or prepare a first draft

What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.

## What it is and how it works

The output requires attention to context, terminology and purpose. It does not replace editorial adaptation when precision, tone or legal effect matters. It should be distinguished from translation services accessed through an API, which have their own integration requirements and conditions; sharing a provider does not make the two uses the same product.
