AWS may store and use text to improve Amazon AI services unless the organisation sets an opt-out policy.\n\n**Lara Translate API.** Glossaries, translation memories, styles and instructions on every translate call. Texts may be used for model improvement unless a request sets `noTrace`.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon Translate\n\n1. Chunk real-time text under 10,000 bytes, not characters, so multibyte scripts fit less per call\n2. Pass `SourceLanguageCode` auto to detect the source language, and handle `DetectedLanguageLowConfidenceException`\n3. Read `AppliedSettings` in the response, since unsupported formality or profanity settings are dropped without an error\n4. Retry `TooManyRequestsException` with backoff, which the AWS SDKs do by default\n5. Set the AI services opt-out policy before sending private text\n\n### Lara Translate API\n\n1. Set `noTrace` on every request that carries private text, since storage for model improvement is the default\n2. Leave `reasoning` off unless the text needs it. It moves the call to Lara Think at $2,499 per million characters\n3. Resolve glossary and memory names to `gls_*` and `mem_*` IDs with the list tools before translating\n4. Send one target language per translate call\n5. Merge short documents, since each file bills at least 20,000 characters\n\n## Other comparisons with Amazon Translate or Lara Translate API\n\n- [Amazon Translate vs Azure Translator](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-translate-vs-azure-translator.md)\n- [Amazon Translate vs DeepL API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-translate-vs-deepl-api.md)\n- [Amazon Translate vs Google Cloud Translation](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-translate-vs-google-cloud-translation.md)\n- [Amazon Translate vs LibreTranslate](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-translate-vs-libretranslate.md)\n- [Amazon Translate vs Lingvanex Translation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-translate-vs-lingvanex.md)\n- [Azure Translator vs Lara Translate API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-translator-vs-lara-translate.md)\n- [DeepL API vs Lara Translate API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepl-api-vs-lara-translate.md)\n- [Google Cloud Translation vs Lara Translate API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-cloud-translation-vs-lara-translate.md)\n- [Lara Translate API vs LibreTranslate](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lara-translate-vs-libretranslate.md)\n- [Lara Translate API vs Lingvanex Translation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lara-translate-vs-lingvanex.md)\n",
