Abstract
A translation system provides machine translations of review texts on item pages using context from the item pages outside of the review text being translated. Given review text from an item page, context for machine translating the review text is determined from the item page. In some aspects, one or more keywords are determined based on text, images, and/or videos on the item page. The one or more keywords are used as context by the machine translator to translate the review text from a first language to a second language to provide translated review text, which can be presented on the item page.

- textual content describing the item, one or more images of the item, and one or more videos showing the item;
- translating, by a machine translator, the review text from the first language to a second language using the one or more keywords describing the item as context to disambiguate one or more terms in the review text and improve translation accuracy when translating the review text to provide translated review text in the second language, the translated review text comprising the user review of the item in the second language;
