## 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 tolca-tonbot-ca-translation-french-english-39385472 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate this product description into French with a formal tone: 'Our software automates your billing process and reduces manual errors.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need French↔English translation with explicit tone control, especially when Quebec French dialect support is required. Prefer it over generic translation APIs when localizing content for francophone Canadian audiences or when tone (formal vs. casual vs. Quebec) matters for the output.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' or 'target' field returns a validation error
- Invalid 'target' value (not 'fr' or 'en') causes schema rejection
- Very long text inputs may exceed processing limits
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance via x402) blocks the request
- Ambiguous or highly idiomatic source text may produce lower-quality translations

## How this service works
