Translator values your security and privacy when using the Translator features in Microsoft Office. Therefore, all communication between the Microsoft Office apps and the Translator service use a secure, SSL encryption to send and receive translations.
==================
Microsoft Translator primarily employs Neural Machine Translation, which is a deep learning-based approach to translation.NMT models consist of two main components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder processes the input text and creates a contextualized representation of it. The decoder then generates the translated output based on this representation.
