This short guide is intended to demonstrate how to use the gt4t program to introduce a simple glossary for adding terminology while you translate in translate5 (t5) and use machine translation (MT) providers which are not yet available as match resources in t5 such as Google NMT or DeepL.
Gt4t is also helpful for querying several MT engines at once for alternative translations or just parts of segments which is an economical and smart use of MT. Gt4t is developed by Dallas Cao, an English to Chinese translator.
