Translate text between over 100 languages using Google Translate's engine — without the complexity of Google Cloud Translation API setup, per-character billing, or Cloud Console configuration.
Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.
Translate website content, product descriptions, and marketing copy across multiple languages. Build multilingual content pipelines that scale with your global audience.
Translate support tickets, chat messages, and emails in real time. Enable your support team to communicate with customers in any language without hiring multilingual staff.
Translate datasets and text corpora for cross-lingual NLP tasks, sentiment analysis on foreign-language content, and multilingual data enrichment pipelines.
Translate product listings, reviews, and descriptions for international marketplaces. Help sellers expand to new markets with automated translation of catalog data.

Google Cloud Translation API requires a Google Cloud project, billing setup, service account credentials, and charges per character ($20/1M characters). Scrappa charges a flat $0.20 per 1,000 requests regardless of text length, needs only an API key, and requires no Google Cloud setup at all.

Just a Scrappa API key passed as an X-API-KEY header. No Google Cloud project, no service account JSON file, no OAuth tokens. Sign up for free, get your key, and start translating text immediately.
