Abstract: A method for utilizing contextual data in generating machine translations. The method includes receiving a translation request including an initial prompt received via a user interface. The initial prompt includes a first language passage and a translation instruction. The initial prompt also includes a context data signal received via a context data source. The method further includes generating a context instruction based on the context data signal and generating a modified prompt including the initial prompt and the context instruction. The method further includes sending the modified prompt to a neural machine translation (NMT) model to process the modified prompt and receiving a second language translation passage as a response to the modified prompt. The second translation language passage being a second language translation of the first language passage translated according to the translation instruction and the context instruction.
