eTranslation is a machine translation service provided by the European Commission. It is not an open web page: you register first, and access is granted after that, which keeps use tied to identified organisations.

Use is free for public administrations, universities and small and medium sized companies based in the EU. Operated by an EU institution itself, it is a European alternative to the commercial translation services, and it suits public bodies and researchers handling documents that should stay within EU systems.

Data and operations

Infrastructure and email path

Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.

Public website

Amazon Web Services

US-controlled cloud

Observed: A 3.173.161.120, 3.173.161.105, 3.173.161.45 · CNAME comm-ewcms-commission.cdn.dhs.tech.ec.europa.eu · AS16509
Evidence: Live website DNS ↗RIPE network record ↗

Why this matters

This public website route ends on Amazon Web Services, whose European seller is wholly owned by Amazon.com, Inc. An EU region can provide European data residency but remains under US ultimate ownership. DNS does not reveal the AWS region, the core service's host, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.

Incoming business email

Proofpoint

Non-European provider

Observed: MX 10 mxa-00244802.gslb.pphosted.com · 10 mxb-00244802.gslb.pphosted.com
Evidence: Current daily MX lookup ↗

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Proofpoint. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
