Background of the issue:
I have a website hidden link in development with 24 pages to translate into English. I am trying to figure out the cost and reliability of machine translation and how to handle translation for redirect links.

Symptoms:
No specific issue or error message mentioned.

Questions:
How can I figure out how many credits to buy, and how reliable is machine translation?
I have about 100 redirect links to the home page. How does the translation of these links work? Are they counted even if I don't display them?
