Re-using a translation

    We are using TranslatePress and DeepL on our website.

    DeepL charges by character.
    We reached the 1,000,000 character limit in a week.

    Before we purchase more from DeepL, is there a way TranslatePress can save some or all translated pages so that they can be re-used and not incur additional charges?

    Thank you

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    If you want to talk about the pro-features we recommend you open a ticket on https://translatepress.com/support/ask-a-presale-question/, because on the free forum we are not allowed to discuss them.

    The translations are made based on strings and stored in your site’s local database so that the next time a visitor accesses the same page, it doesn’t need to query the Google API again for the same strings. This saves execution time and most importantly saves costs.

    Translations are not based on a specific page. They are based on strings. The strings on the page are divided by HTML tags. So, for example, a paragraph inside a “p” tag is considered one individual string. This means that if a string is translated on a page (either by Google Translate or human reviewed), then the same string found on another page will already have a translation. For example, you only need to translate the Menu items once, and they will be translated across the website.
