What is Translation Preview
Translation Preview is a pre-translation service offered by O.Translator.
By default, when you upload a document to O.Translator and select 'Start Translation,' we do not immediately translate the entire document. Instead, we first translate the first half of the document (approximately 2000 words) for free. This allows you to preview the translation quality and understand the points required for a full translation.

Click the 'Start Translation' button in the image above to enter 'Translation Preview' by default.
Check Translation Accuracy
O.Translator uses the most advanced AI technology for translation, achieving results that far surpass traditional machine translation and can rival human translation.
If you have not used AI translation before, 'Translation Preview' is an excellent starting point. Through the preview, you can assess whether your document is suitable for continuing with AI translation services.
Compare Layout Restoration
The difference with document translation compared to other types of translation is the need to maintain consistency in formatting between the translation and the original text.
The 'Translation Preview' uses a side-by-side comparison method, allowing you to intuitively compare whether the document format remains consistent.
The 'Translation Preview' process is completely free, with no payment required.
Free Preview Quota
Each user's preview quota is limited, typically allowing the preview of about 8 to 10 documents.
We will adjust each user's free preview quota based on actual circumstances, ensuring you have a good experience when using the translation service.
Obtain Preview Quota Again
When your free preview quota is exhausted, a prompt as shown in the image below will appear, and the document will not be automatically translated further. You will need to pay the corresponding credits to continue the translation.

At this point, you only need to complete a full document translation to regain free credits for Translation Preview.
You do not need to pay extra for 'Translation Preview.'
No Need for Translation Preview
For existing users, if you do not need Translation Preview, you can select the 'Full Translation' option when starting a translation.

After selecting, if your credits are sufficient, we will proceed with a full translation using the model you chose.
If the credits are insufficient, we will still provide a Translation Preview and inform you of the credits needed for a full translation.
Why Provide Translation Preview
'Striving to reduce your translation costs.' To provide a better translation experience, we have covered the translation costs for the free preview portion.
Paying for translation services without knowing the quality is like opening a blind box; you don't even know what's inside.
