The 2026-06-06 schema breaks v3.0 clients and drops BreakSentence and dictionary lookups from the spec.\n\n**Lingvanex Translation API.** $5 per million characters list price. Product pages disagree on bulk and on-premise prices.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Azure Translator\n\n1. Send `Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region` with the key for a regional resource\n2. Pin `api-version=3.0` until your client handles the 2026-06-06 `inputs` and `value` shape\n3. Batch up to 1,000 strings a call rather than one call per string\n4. Spread load across the hour, since the character caps are hourly and bursts get 429\n5. Treat 403001 as the free quota running out, not a permissions error\n\n### Lingvanex Translation API\n\n1. Call the https:// server, not the http:// one the spec also lists\n2. Send `platform` as api on every call, since the spec marks it required\n3. Use locale codes such as en_GB and de_DE, not two-letter codes\n4. Check the `err` field on every response, since errors aren't only signalled by status code\n5. Send an array in `data` to translate several strings in one call\n\n## Other comparisons with Azure Translator or Lingvanex Translation API\n\n- [Amazon Translate vs Azure Translator](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-translate-vs-azure-translator.md)\n- [Amazon Translate vs Lingvanex Translation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-translate-vs-lingvanex.md)\n- [Azure Translator vs DeepL API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-translator-vs-deepl-api.md)\n- [Azure Translator vs Google Cloud Translation](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-translator-vs-google-cloud-translation.md)\n- [Azure Translator vs Lara Translate API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-translator-vs-lara-translate.md)\n- [Azure Translator vs LibreTranslate](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-translator-vs-libretranslate.md)\n- [DeepL API vs Lingvanex Translation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepl-api-vs-lingvanex.md)\n- [Google Cloud Translation vs Lingvanex Translation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-cloud-translation-vs-lingvanex.md)\n- [Lara Translate API vs Lingvanex Translation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lara-translate-vs-lingvanex.md)\n- [LibreTranslate vs Lingvanex Translation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/libretranslate-vs-lingvanex.md)\n",
