dominicC-10	Background of the issue: I've purchased the WPML multilingual CMS annual subscription for a client site in development, providing us with 92,000 credits. I used the WeGlot tool to estimate the word count on the current site, which is 22,000 words. The client wants to translate to 3 European languages using Microsoft Azure, which should be covered by the 92K credits. They also want to translate to traditional and simplified Chinese using WPML AI method. Symptoms: I need help estimating the credits required and cost to translate 22,000 English words to simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese using WPML AI method. Questions: Can you help me estimate what the credits required and cost will be to translate 22,000 English words to simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese?

dominicC-10	That doesn't help estimate my issue which was 'Can you help me estimate what the credits required and cost will be to translate 22,000 English words to simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese?' You can't specify the language with that tool. Were going from latin script to Chinese characters.
