## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need accurate, tone-preserving text translation with automatic source language detection and a simple pay-per-call model. Ideal for agents handling multilingual user input, translating documents on-demand, or localizing content without a subscription to a heavyweight translation service. Works well for up to 20,000 characters per call.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 20,000 character limit — request rejected
- Unsupported or unrecognized target language code — translation may fail or default to English
- Empty or missing text field — validation error
- Ambiguous short text may result in incorrect source language detection
- Payment not provided or insufficient — 402 response blocking the request

## How this service works

Translate text into any language, with the source language detected and tone and formatting kept.

## Output
