402 Payment Required. Sign USDCtransferWithAuthorization, retry with theX-PAYMENT header.DESCRIPTION
Translate text between languages with native-sounding output instead of literal word-for-word conversion. Send text and a target_language (ISO code like "es" or a name like "Spanish"), with optional source_language and a formality setting of casual, formal, or neutral, and get back translated_text plus the detected or confirmed source language. Source language auto-detects when not supplied, and the translator preserves Markdown formatting, code blocks, URLs, and proper nouns instead of mangling them. Use it as a machine translation API, multilingual content localizer, or language converter for chat messages, documentation, or support replies across 100+ languages.
