Thanks for mentioning this! I have now added a pointer to Pology to the gettext manual.
As far as I can see from http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Main_Page, Apertium is good for languages with relatively few speakers, for example to create an Occitan translation from a French translation. Unfortunately, for a translation from English currently it offers only the target languages Spanish, Galician, Catalan, and Esperanto. This means, there still is a long way to go. |

I recommend using Pology (the ‘pomtrans’ binary), which you can read more about http://pology.nedohodnik.net//doc/user/en_US/ch-misctools.html#sec-mimtrans

Machine translation is getting better over the years, thanks to advances in AI: machine translation based on neural networks and deep learning is significantly better than machine translation based on statistical models.

I agree that gettext could provide a way to pre-populate the translation. It could be from a MT provider (by providing the info required by the service API) or from a local TM file in a supported bilingual format (PO/TMX ?). That would be tremendously helpful.
