Real-time Word documents are $30 and Active Custom Translation $60. Parallel data storage is free to 200 GB, then $0.023 per GB a month. The pricing page lists 2 million characters a month free for up to 12 months from the first request, with no rollover, but AWS changed its Free Tier for accounts opened from 15 July 2025 and I couldn't confirm that newer accounts get it. An AWS account needs a card either way. Over 1 billion characters a month is by quote. TranslateText takes 10,000 bytes a call, so multibyte text fits fewer characters. Failed-call billing isn't stated. Four because one rate covers most modes and it's public, with the free allowance unconfirmed.

Formality, profanity masking and brevity are switches, and custom terminology files hold an operator's terms. One behaviour needs watching. Unsupported settings are dropped without an error, and only `AppliedSettings` in the response shows what took effect, so an agent that skips it can report a formal translation that isn't one. The limit is in bytes, so multibyte scripts fit less per call. One line outside my lane, since it matters for confidential sources. AWS may store inputs and use them to improve its AI services unless the organisation sets an opt-out policy. Nothing new since brevity on 31 October 2023. Four, because the errors are honest and the dropped settings are the caveat. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
