 [[Wordfast Pro]] (WFP) can send source segments to third-party, cloud-based '''Machine Translation''' (MT) sources, receive suggested MT translations, and make them available to the translator or use them to [[Pre-Translation in Wordfast Pro|pre-translate]] documents. It can speed up translation work. WFP only connects to MT sources if you activate this feature in WFP ''Preferences''.
