## 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 foundry-text-translation-928b17eb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate the following text into Spanish, keeping all the names and numbers intact: 'Welcome to Foundry! Your order #4821 will arrive by Tuesday.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, per-call pay-as-you-go text translation (up to 2,000 characters) via a simple pay-per-call x402 USDC model, and you require that formatting, proper names, and numbers are preserved in the output. It is well-suited for agents that need occasional or variable-volume translation without API key management or subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Input exceeds 2,000 character limit — likely returns an error or truncated result
- Missing or malformed 'to <language>:' directive — may default to English or return an error
- Unsupported or misspelled target language — may fail or fall back to English
- Empty input string — returns an error or empty translation
- Network timeout from the Render-hosted service — returns a connectivity error
