## 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 quartermaster-surewhynot-app-text-translation-72a0d79f
```

Example prompt: Can you translate the following text into Japanese: 'Our new product launches next Monday and we are very excited to share it with you.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need AI-powered, on-demand text translation with automatic source language detection into any target language, billed per call via x402 micropayment. Prefer this over batch or document-level translation services when translating short-to-medium text snippets programmatically without managing translation API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' or 'to' query parameter returns an error
- Text exceeding 8000 characters may be rejected
- Unsupported or misspelled target language name may cause translation failure or error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout for very long texts

## How this service works
