If you are looking for a simple, cost-effective way to translate your store without managing external accounts, our built-in engine is the perfect choice.
Why choose the Built-in Engine?
Zero Setup: There are no API keys to generate or external billing accounts to manage. It works immediately upon installing Translingo.
Cost-Effective: Every paid plan includes a generous monthly character allowance. If you need more, you can purchase one-time character packages that never expire.
Fully Integrated: You can monitor your usage in real-time and manage your entire translation budget directly within the Translingo dashboard.
Managing Your Usage
You can view your current character balance and purchase top-ups at any time by visiting the Integrations page and selecting ALMA.
Monthly Allowance: Resets every 1st of the month based on your Translingo plan.
Purchased Characters: These are used only after your monthly allowance is exhausted and stay in your account until used.
Technical Details: What is ALMA?
For merchants interested in the technology behind their translations, Translingo utilizes the ALMA (Advanced Language Model-based translator) translation model.
Advanced Architecture: ALMA is an advanced, open-source machine translation model originally developed by the Microsoft Corporation. It leverages a large language model-based approach to provide high-quality, natural-sounding results.
Open Source: We believe in transparency and utilizing cutting-edge research. You can learn more about the technical foundations of the model on the ALMA GitHub repository.
