Enterprise license required

Features described on this page require the Kentico Xperience Enterprise license.

This service uses the Azure Cognitive Services Translator API (Microsoft Translator API, for short) to translate text. Microsoft Translator API offers a free subscription for up to 2 million characters per month, higher editions must be purchased.

Character limit

This service has a 5,000-character limit for every translation request. When translating pages, the service submits the content of every field and editable region as a separate unit, so the total number of characters per page is not restricted.
