Machine Translation Service Application

      Machine Translation Service is a new service application introduced with SharePoint 2013 Preview. This Service App provides automatic machine translation of files or all the files within a Document Library or even Site. When the Machine Translation Service application processes a translation request, it forwards the request to a cloud-hosted machine translation service, where the actual translation work is performed.
The Machine Translation Service application processes translation requests asynchronously and synchronously. Asynchronous translation requests are processed when the translation timer job executes.

Machine Translation Service also includes a client object model (CSOM) that enables access to the Machine Translation Service API for online, on-premises, and mobile development.
