An activation is a single processing step in which content is used for a specific function, such as translation, analysis or a micro-app.
When a document is translated, activations are generated depending on the document’s scope, the selected language and the function used. Micro-apps can also use activations, for example when they check, summarise, structure or convert texts into a specific format.
In short: an activation describes how often content is technically processed in order to deliver the desired service.
To help you better estimate the costs of translating a document in advance, we provide an activation analysis tool. There, you can roughly calculate how many activations are required for your document.

This gives you a transparent initial estimate before you use a translation or micro-app function.
