Machine translations help you expand your business to multiple regions and provide help to people who speak different languages.

We use a credit system to help you keep track of the number of machine translations you use. Depending on your plan, you'll get a certain number of machine translation credits that renew monthly 📆

Articles containing approximately 2,000 words or more cannot be machine translated.
The included monthly credits don't roll over to the next month, but extra credits purchased separately do.

Finding Your Machine Translation Credit Count

You can check your remaining credits in two ways:

During article translation

When you're ready to translate your article, a popup displays your remaining credits.

A UI popup showing how many translation credits are left
