Hello,
No, you don’t have to buy 1,100,000 credits right away.
And you don’t have to translate everything immediately.
Please start with only one language and with the translation credits you will receive in the CMS Multilingual package (90 000 credits) and select only some posts/pages in the WPML Translation Management. To follow this scenario, please don’t select the “Translate Everything” mode when setting up WPML. If you are happy with your translation, you can consider using the Pay-as-you-go option. On this page you will see the credit calculator: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-pricing/ – please scroll down to the FAQ section and click on “How much does automatic translation cost?”
You should also select the Microsoft engine in WPML settings before you start translating anything. The default one is DeepL which costs twice as much compared to Microsoft (but DeepL provides better quality).
Thanks a lot Agnes!
Hi Agnes,
Thanks for these details and prompt response. Looks promising.
Best regards,

Hi,
I still can’t understand how to manage automatic traditions.
I have a site that currently has around 370,000 words, and will be up to 1,100,000 words in the next 12 months.
I would like to translate it with Microsoft.
but now I ask:
if I wanted to start translating into 4 languages now, how can I manage the costs and spend as little as possible on translations?
Do I have to buy 1,100,000 words right away?
Thanks for your help.
Stefano
