Google API Translation Pricing

[Adrien Parad]

Hello,

I would have questions about Google API Translation pricing here: https://cloud.google.com/translate/pricing

1) If I define myself initial language as english, do i still pay "Language Detection" fee?

2) Do the translation fees apply per language or for all languages? For example, if i translate 1 million characters from english to german and french, will i pay 20 usd or 40 usd?

Thank you.

1) Language detection is a separate API call. If you're just calling translation, you're only charged for translation, whether you set the source language or let it get detected.

2) Translation pricing is per translation. So $20 per 1M chars.

Google's translation API pricing structure is fairly standard, see https://modelfront.com/compare.
