## 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 hydratrader-text-translate-x402-84b584f7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate the following product description into Spanish: 'Our new wireless headphones deliver crystal-clear sound with 30-hour battery life and active noise cancellation.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-as-you-go text translation without an API key, particularly in agentic workflows where x402 micropayment infrastructure is already in use. Ideal for low-volume or sporadic translation needs where subscription-based APIs are overkill.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if x402 payment is not attached or payment fails
- Input text exceeds 8000 character limit returns validation error
- Unsupported target language in options may return an error or unexpected output
- Malformed JSON body returns 400 Bad Request
- Task enum mismatch if body.task is set to a non-translate value

## How this service works

Translate text: Verb-path alias of POST /v1/cheap-errand ($0.01 USDC). Same handler + payment terms; path defaults task=translate when body.task omitted. Cheap agent glue for buyer-supplied text. Base via x402. No API key.

## Output

Returns the translated version of the input text in the target language specified in the options or inferred from context, delivered as a JSON response body.
