Wordbee batches during MT
Hi Wordbee team,
We’re planning to start apply Microsoft MT into Wordbee.
When I configure the Microsoft MT under Settings -> Machine translation, I don’t get very well about the following inline help:
PRICING: Microsoft charges per transaction (or 1 translatio request). When pre-translating documents, Wordbee sends batches or text, each batch being conted as 1 transaction.
We have two different user cases:
User case#1: Two(2) UI translation projects, source language is English, each project has 10 translation jobs for 10 different target languages.
When Wordbee sends batches, there will be 2 transaction for each project, or it wil be 20 transactions for each job?
User case#2: One(1) Document translation project, source languauge is English, 5 translation jobs for one same target language.
When Wordbee sends batches, there will be 1 transaction, or it will be 5 transactions?
Thank you!
Kind Regards,
Yuan

Hi Yuan,
There will be at least one batch per job and per target language.
When content is translated, the text/segments are grouped by "batches". Each batch has a maximum size and the bigger the files are the more batches there will be. The cost calculation mechanism at Microsoft is not easy and you can only really be sure about the cost after the fact by looking at the online cost summary at Microsoft.
I would suggest you translate a file and check out how much you are costed. This can give you an approximate idea of total cost.
Kind regards,
Stephan

Thank you Stephan!
I will also contact Microsoft translator support team to check whether the montyly-paid support plan will cover those transactions.
Kind Regards,
Yuan
