About API costs
The generator can use OpenAI for translation and phrase alignment. You pay OpenAI directly for API usage at their rates. Typical costs depend on the text length and the model used.
- Model pricing: see OpenAI pricing for current rates (tokens in/out). Links:
- Rough estimate: 1,000–2,000 words of text is often ~1,500–3,000 tokens per pass. Translation and alignment add calls proportionally. You can also runmock mode (no API) to preview formatting first.
- Reduce cost: batch your text, reuse snapshots, and only re‑call the API after edits. The tool supports caching and rebuilds from JSON.
