# momoAI Translate — LLM-Powered Text Translation

> momoAI Translate — LLM-Powered Text Translation is a paid API for AI agents from momoai-cyan.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

## 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 momoai-translate-llm-powered-text-translation-bcec5e16 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate the following text into Japanese with a formal tone: 'Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to working with you.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need LLM-quality translation (nuanced, tone-aware) rather than statistical MT, especially when tone control matters, when source language is unknown and auto-detection is needed, and when paying per-call in USDC on Base is acceptable or preferred over subscription-based translation APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' or 'target_lang' fields returns a validation error
- Invalid language code (e.g. unsupported locale) may return an error or fallback
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request
- Very long text may exceed model context limits and return a truncation or error
- Network timeout on Vercel edge may result in a 5xx response

## How this service works

Pay-per-use LLM API. Chat, reasoning, code review, translation, summarization, data extraction, and more. Pay with USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'translation' string containing the translated text, plus metadata including detected or specified source language, target language, tone applied, the LLM model used, and token usage statistics.
