What is API translation?

An API translation service is a way of enabling ‘machine’ translation of text. It enables you to incorporate real-time translation of text into their products. This can be vital in enabling you to serve global markets.

How does a translation API work?

By using an API, you’re able to connect in real time to a dedicated translation service. This means that no data needs to be stored locally which releases you from ensuring that the data is up to date. The API will always be sourcing up to date data.

What are the features of the Translation API?

The key features are real time bi-directional translation of text in more than 80 languages. Abstract’s Translation API is a REST API. It can be implemented in languages including Python, JAVA and more.

Is it difficult to implement the Translation API?

Where does the data for the Translation API come from?

Abstract works with a variety of public and private data sources. These data are constantly processed to feed a translation ML model that provides a best-in-class, fast and accurate translation technology. It connects to sources combined with a proprietary machine learning translation model to ensure accurate bi-directional translation in more than 80 languages.

Is there a free translation API?

Yes, our free translation API can serve 500 API requests per month at a maximum of one per second. This means that you’ll be able to implement services that depend upon translation without bearing any cost. It may also be possible to serve some light, non-commercial use cases at this tier.
