AI Translation Cost Calculator
Calculate the cost of translating text with AI language models.
How We Calculate This
AI translation sends source text (~2,000 tokens) and produces translated output (~2,500 tokens — translations are often slightly longer). A localization team translating website content or documents might process 200 segments per day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI translation cheaper than Google Translate API?▼
For simple translations, Google Translate ($20/million characters) is cheaper. But AI models produce higher-quality translations with better context understanding, especially for marketing and creative content.
Which AI model translates best?▼
GPT-5.2 and Claude Opus 4.6 produce the most natural translations. For Asian languages, DeepSeek models perform exceptionally well due to multilingual training data.
How accurate is AI translation?▼
AI translation accuracy is 85-95% for common language pairs (English ↔ Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese). Quality drops for rare languages and highly specialized terminology.
