Hi,

I read that translation is deducted from my AI credits. But the translation feature has been there for years and is using DeepL to translate. Has something changed? Or is DeepL now using AI credits..?

thanks in advance

    There was a credit system in place for translation even in Logos 10, there just wasn't any place where you could see your credits. Logos does have running costs for translation by DeepL and Google.

    I dont understand why DeepL should use credits, because it is just an online translation tool that had been in Logos for a couple of years now.

    DeepL is a specific form of AI that has been available for longer than the LLM/Chatbots that are all the rage.

    Don't know about DeepL using or not using AI credits. Translate, in general, charges into the AI credits bank.

    But I was surprised that DeepL (below) didn't recognize Japanese, even with hiragana on full display. Apparently, either Logos/Google set the guessed-language pretty early (the word 'Bible' can be Chinese or Japanese), or DeepL does the honors.
