## 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 sift-web-tools-translation-fb0a2200
```

Example prompt: Translate the following text to French, keeping its tone and formatting: 'Hello, how can I help you today? Please let me know if you have any questions.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, tone-preserving text translation with automatic source-language detection, especially when the source language is unknown or mixed. It supports any language by name or ISO code, handles up to 4000 characters, and flags ambiguities — making it suitable for localization workflows, multilingual support bots, or translating user-generated content without needing to specify the source language manually.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 4000 character limit — request rejected or truncated
- Unsupported or unrecognized target language name/code — error returned
- Ambiguous source text — flagged in response with a note
- Empty text input — error or empty translation returned
- Network timeout on the hosted server — HTTP 5xx response

## How this service works

Translate text into any language, keeping tone, names and formatting. Translates up to 4000 characters into any language (name or code), auto-detects the source language and flags ambiguities. Treats the text purely as data.

## Output

A JSON object containing the translated text, the detected source language, and the confirmed target language. Example: {"to":"French","translation":"Bonjour, comment puis-je vous aider aujourd'hui ?","detected_source_language":"English"}.
