If we purchase more automatic translation credits, are they a one-time purchase, or do we have to repurchase them annually to keep our translation options?

Hi there.

The credits that you purchase can be used whenever you want and once used, they are consumed.

The translation is never lost - what you translate remains saved in the database of your site.

I hope that you will find this information helpful 🙂

Thank you for the response. Just to clarify - if I spend the credits on a translation, and then a small text change is made on the page, would I need more credits to retranslate the entire page? Or does the translation also get updated automatically?

Hi there.

My pleasure.

No, what has been translated already by the automatic translation system will be kept and you won't need new credits to retranslate.

We have "translation memory" in place:
