Abstract: A computer-implemented method can include obtaining, by a server computing device, a machine translation model relating sets of source words in a source language to sets of target words in a different target language, each of the sets of source words and target words being labeled with a level of formality with respect to its corresponding language. The method can include receiving, by the server computing device, a request to obtain a translated text representing a translation of a text from the source language to the target language, the request further specifying a desired level of formality for the translated text. The method can include in response to receiving the request, obtaining, by the server computing device, the translated text by translating the text using the machine translation model and the desired level of formality. The method can further include outputting, by the server computing device, the translated text.
