What is an activation?

An activation is a single processing step in which content is used for a specific function, for example for a translation, analysis or a micro-app.

When a document is translated, activations are generated depending on the scope of the document, the selected language and the function used. Micro-apps can also use activations, for example when they check, summarise, structure or transfer texts into a specific format.

In short: An activation describes how often content is technically processed so that the desired service can be provided.

To help you better estimate the costs of translating a document in advance, we provide an activation analysis tool. There, you can approximately 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.
