# DDG Translation Service

> DDG Translation Service is a paid API for AI agents from agents.daedalusdevelopmentgroup.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Translates text from one language to another as a machine-payable, bounded artifact via x402 USDC micropayment

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 ddg-translation-service-2ecd4b83 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate the following text into French: 'The weather is beautiful today and I am going to the park.' — pay via x402 USDC micropayment.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need per-call, pay-as-you-go text translation with no subscription or API key setup, especially in autonomous agent workflows where x402 USDC micropayments are already supported. Prefer this over traditional translation APIs when you want bounded, artifact-based results with crypto-native payment rails and no raw provider account access.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' or 'output' fields returns a validation error
- Unsupported language pair may return an error or empty result
- Payment failure via x402 results in a 402 Payment Required response before processing
- Invalid body type (not json/form-data/text) causes a schema validation error
- Network or provider timeout may return a 5xx error

## How this service works

Machine-payable DDG services for AI agents. Current public live payment rails are x402 multi-chain USDC and direct-crypto auto/manual for public receiving-address families. MPP/Stripe/Tempo is installed but pending live provider env plus penny-settlement proof before any MPP-live advertisement. DDG sells bounded artifacts/results, not raw provider account access.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean indicating success, along with the translated text as a bounded artifact result. The response confirms the translation was completed and delivers the converted content.
