# DynamicTranslation API

You can use the DynamicTranslation API to translate text into multiple languages by connecting to your choice of machine translation service providers.

This API is available for interactions with third-party translation service providers, as part of Server APIs, Client APIs, and Service Portal APIs. See [DynamicTranslation - Scoped](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/api-reference/server-api-reference/DynamicTranslation.md) and [DynamicTranslation - Client](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/api-reference/DynamicTranslationClientAPI.md).

No matter what translation service provider you choose, this API works on a standard set of inputs and outputs, and displays standard error codes and messages. Test your integration in a non-production instance, including examining logs, before deploying to production.

Consult your service provider's portal for details regarding data privacy policies, cost and usage structure, and other information related to your account with that provider.

Most machine translation service providers enforce limitations such as an upper limit on the number of characters per request. For more information, see [Limitations in Dynamic Translation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/dynamic-translation/limitations-dynamic-translation.md).
