## 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 m2m-100-multilingual-text-translation-fba90eac
```

Example prompt: Can you translate the following text to French using the M2M-100 translator: 'The weather is beautiful today and I am very happy'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, pay-per-call multilingual translation without managing an API key, especially for batch translation of up to 20 items at once. It covers ~100 languages via the M2M-100 model, which supports many non-English language pairs directly (not just through English pivot). Prefer it for agentic workflows requiring lightweight localization without a subscription to Google Translate or DeepL.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported language code returns an error — only ~100 languages supported by M2M-100
- Missing target_lang parameter causes a validation error
- Batch exceeds 20 texts returns an error
- Empty or null text input may return an empty result or error
- Very long text inputs may be truncated or rejected
- Rare language pairs with low training data may produce lower quality translations

## How this service works

Translate text between about 100 languages (M2M-100). One text or a batch of up to 20; give target_lang and optionally source_lang (default en). Also callable as GET with the same fields as query parameters.

## Output

Returns the translated text (or an array of translated texts for batch requests) in the target language. For single text input, returns one translated string; for batch input (pipe-separated via `texts`), returns a list of translated strings corresponding to each input.
