jonathanM-72	Background of the issue: I am trying to understand the pre-paid credit packages for WPML. I need to translate my site, hidden link, into one language. Symptoms: The credit packages available for purchase are double the price compared to what the simulator shows. The cheapest package is 50 euros for 40,000 credits, but the simulator indicates 40,000 credits should cost 25 euros. Questions: Why are the pre-paid credit packages double the price compared to the simulator? Can you explain the pricing for translating into one language?

Microsoft = 1 credit per word Google = 2 credits per word DeepL = 2 credits per word WPML AI = 4 credits per word So, it also depends on which translation engine you choose. There are two ways to purchase automatic translation credits: buy the pre-paid packages or register for our more affordable pay-as-you-go option. The calculator shows the Pay-as-you-go pricing. With Pay-as-you-go, the more you translate, the less you pay per word. This is the reason you see the difference in pricing. Please read more about WPML's automatic translation pricing here. https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-pricing/#calculate-your-cost Please let me know if you have any further questions.
