## 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 synthora-translate-1508bd0a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate the following text to Japanese, auto-detecting the source language: 'Your order has been shipped and will arrive by {delivery_date}.' — make sure the placeholder is preserved.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, cryptographically verifiable (Ed25519-signed) translations with placeholder and formatting preservation, especially in automated pipelines where auditability or reproducibility of output matters. Ideal for localization workflows handling UI strings with tokens. At $0.001 per call it suits high-volume use cases.

## Known failure modes

- Text exceeds 4000 character limit — request rejected with validation error
- Unsupported or unrecognized target language code — returns error indicating invalid language
- Source language auto-detection fails on very short or ambiguous input — may return wrong language or error
- Payment of 0.001 USDC not provided or fails — HTTP 402 returned, translation not performed
- Network timeout or service unavailability — HTTP 5xx error
