Amazon Translate launches Batch Translation in eight additional regions

[Amazon Translate](/translate/) is a neural machine translation service that delivers fast, high-quality, and affordable language translation. Today, we are announcing that Amazon Translate asynchronous Batch Translation is now available in eight additional regions - US West (Northern California), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Paris) and Europe (Stockholm). With this expansion, Amazon Translate asynchronous Batch Translation is supported in 15 regions. Now, AWS customers can reach a wider set of users in many geographies that are increasingly expecting to consume media and interact with organizations in the language of their choice. With asynchronous Batch Translation, customers can translate a large collection of documents stored in a folder in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. Asynchronous batch operations are particularly useful for translating large collection of documents with one API call, when the application doesn't need a real-time response. Our asynchronous Batch Translation service accepts a batch of up to 5 GB in size per API call with each document not exceeding 20 MB in size and the number of documents in the S3 bucket folder not exceeding 1 million per batch. Refer to our [Guidelines and Limits](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/translate/latest/dg/what-is-limits.html) for more details. For a full list of regions Amazon Translate supports, refer to the [AWS Regional Services List](/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/).
