AI Translate API • Live on Bitcoin mainnet

Translate with better phrasing, not just literal output.

AI Translate is the quality-focused translation option on ArkAPI. It is meant for cases where the utility translator is too literal and you want more natural wording, better sentence flow, or a more polished result.

5 sats / call

POST /api/ai-translate

Styles: literal, natural, polished

What It Does

ArkAPI AI Translate uses the managed AI backend to produce higher-quality translations than the standard utility endpoint. It keeps the request simple but gives you style control when tone and readability matter. The regular Translate API remains the faster utility option; both cost 5 sats per call.

Use literal for close wording preservation
Use natural for balanced, readable translation
Use polished when you want smoother phrasing

When To Use It

Choose /api/ai-translate when translation quality and style control matter. Choose /api/translate for faster utility conversion. Both use the flat 5-sat price.

Customer-facing copy or support replies
Short essays, posts, prompts, and summaries
Any case where literal output sounds too stiff
