Frequently Asked Questions

WPML uses credits to calculate the cost of your translations. Each translated word is worth a certain number of credits based on which translation engine you use:

Note that WPML calculates words differently when translating from Asian languages; total characters x 0.55 (e.g., 1,000,000 Chinese characters = 550,000 words).
