>Granted, they support a lot less languages, but for the supported ones, MyGengo sounds like a much better option, unless Google manages to improve their translation and beat MyGengo pricing.

As far as I know, MyGengo doesn't do in house manchine translations. Am I wrong?

I'm not sure whether they do it in-house or outsource, but they do provide it. From http://mygengo.com/services/api/#benefits page:

You can also get free machine translation through our API - so no need to switch between services. Just pick and choose which of your content you want done by humans, and which by machines. It’s easy and free to start with machine translation, and then upgrade for popular content.

Hey guys

We currently source our API's machine translation from Google, but we're going to be connecting to several other providers in the next few months. Depending on Google's pricing model we may or may not include them in the roster.

We think it's best to connect to our API, because you can 'upgrade' to human translation without switching out code (it's just a single parameter in an API call).

If you want to try us out, we're currently running a $25-credits-free campaign to switch to our API. http://mygengo.com/talk/blog/translation-apis-google-shuttin...
