Translation costs vary significantly based on:
- Document size (longer books = higher costs)
- Chunking strategy and size
- OpenAI model selected (GPT-4 costs more than GPT-3.5)
- Prompt complexity
Typical book translation costs:
• Short books/articles: $3-5
• Medium novels: $5-10
• Large books: $10-30+
⚠️ Recommended: Always test your prompt and chunking settings on a smaller document first (like a single chapter or a few pages) to ensure the translation quality meets your expectations before processing the entire book.
