availability of languages in language cloud

Question

Hello, I am trying to translate a document from English to Chinese (simplified). However, I do not see a Chinese option available to me when using the SDL Language Cloud. (Only French and German). Does this require an additional dictionary? Please advise

Hi Matthew, 
 
I see the icons at the bottom of the window are showing a translation from English to German for this document. Perhaps you forgot to set Chinese as the target language when you created the project? In the SDL Language Cloud dialog, you're only able to select the language pairs that are included in your project. 
 
Regards,

Hi Matthew, 
 
The available languages are here: 
 
 www.sdl.com/.../language-pairs.html 
 
English -> Chinese (simplified) is covered. Perhaps you can provide some more information on what you are seeing when you try to do this? So you do have English and Chinese (simplified) as two of your languages, or are you using Studio Professional? Is this language pair in your project template? 
 
A screen shot might help showing what you see too? 
 
Thanks 
 
Paul

Hi Matthew, 
 
Did you select "Chinese (Simplified, China)" as the target language? That's the only one with an associated MT engine in SDL Language Cloud. The other "flavours" of Chinese would not allow you to run MT on them.
