AI Translate API • Live on Bitcoin mainnet

Translate with better phrasing, not just literal output.

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

25 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. If you only need cheap workflow translation, the regular Translate API is still the faster low-cost option.

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 matters more than minimum cost. If you just need fast utility conversion for a workflow, /api/translate is still the cheaper default.

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