# About the Multilingual APIs

The Multilingual APIs allow you to create and manage multilingual content, allowing site visitors to access information in their preferred language. By integrating with the Multilingual APIs, you can improve accessibility and engagement across different languages.

With the Multilingual APIs you can:

- Define [translatable fields and structures](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/multilingual/translation/translation-schema/introduction.md).
- Add and manage [original content to be translated](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/multilingual/translation/translation-published-content/introduction.md).
- [Retrieve and display translated content](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/multilingual/translation/translation-published-content/introduction.md) for site visitors.
- Manage [machine translation](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/multilingual/machine-translation/machine-translation/introduction.md) and [check word credit information](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/multilingual/machine-translation/credit-data/introduction.md).

## Terminology

- **Machine translate**: Wix uses an external service to translate text to other languages. Alternatively, you can manually translate site content with the [Translation Manager](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-using-the-translation-manager).
- **Translatable content:** Content that is able to be machine translated with this service. Learn more [about translatable and untranslatable content](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-translatable-content).
- **Word credit**: A unit of translation capacity, where 1 credit equals 1 word to translate. Each site has a word credit balance indicating the number of words available for translation. Successful translation requests reduce the word credits by the number of words in contentToTranslate. If the site does not have sufficient word credits to translate all of the text in the request, the request fails with a NOT_ENOUGH_CREDITS error. Wix users can receive additional word credits by [purchasing a translation package](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-auto-translating-your-site#purchasing-translation-packages) in the [Translation Manager](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-using-the-translation-manager) at any time.
- **Quota**: Total number of credits allocated to the site. Currently, sites have a quota limit, with the exception of [Wix Studio enterprise sites](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-enterprise-an-overview), which have an unlimited quota.
