Auto-Translation feature licensing

How do I find out whether the auto-translation feature I have is Permanent or Temporary? What do I search for in the Library?
If it is Temporary, does it mean that it will disappear once I stop subscribing?

(Note: Auto-Translation is the only feature that's only part of Max and not part of Pro.)

It's my understanding that if you own the Logos 10 Full Feature Set (which includes the Translation feature), then it's permanent ownership. On the other hand, if you got the Translation feature through the subscription, then it will go away when you're no longer subscribed (and it's not eligible for inclusion in the Legacy Fallback License).

if by Auto-Translation you are referring to the Logos Translation Tool that translates text in a resource into another language then I believe it does use AI to perform that task. This means you will not have access to this process if you are not subscribed. Logos obtains their AI service from a third party providers and it has an ongoing cost to keep using it. Part of your subscription payment goes toward your monthly provision of AI.

At the above link there is a whole discussion about how using the Translation Tool consumes your monthly AI provision.

This needs to be clarified by Logos as we were told that we would not lose any features we already purchased. Translation Features is part of Full Feature set.

I think Yasmin answered to the point. As of now, there's no place in Logos that I know of that would give an indication of whether a specific feature is active through a permanent or temporary license. If you ever bought this feature in a set, you own it. That feature is definitely in L10/V10 Full Feature Set, but also in some other sets (e.g. language specific and/or academic sets) in different levels depending on platform i.e. translation on mobile, web app, or desktop app.

This has been clarified. You won't lose Translation (edit: that you owned through an L10 Feature Set /edit) if you don't subscribe or stop subscribing, it is yours. Yasmin talked about the situation when you only have access to Translation through subscription- in this case it will go away if your subscription ends.

Thank you all. That's exactly what I was trying to clarify.

I do own the Translation feature now. It either came as one of the L10 packages I purchased before, or came as part of the L10 FFS gifted to us by Logos as a loyal FL Connect subscriber.

But the feature does use AI credits. So I was trying to figure out whether this feature will one day disappear if I stop subscribing, as with the other AI features.
