## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability asterpay-ai-translate-c5267709 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you translate the following text into Finnish: 'Hello, welcome to our platform. We hope you enjoy your experience here.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-use AI-powered text translation without committing to a subscription service, especially in agentic workflows that already use x402 micropayment infrastructure. Ideal for low-volume or on-demand translation tasks where auto-detection of source language is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported target language code returns an error or empty translation
- Very long text may be truncated or cause timeout
- Ambiguous short text may result in incorrect source language detection
- Non-text input (binary, numeric-only) may produce poor translation quality
- Missing target_language field will cause a validation error
