# Credit Data: Sample Flows

This article presents possible use cases and corresponding sample flows that you can support. This can be a helpful jumping off point as you plan your implementation.

## Check for sufficient credits before machine translation

You can check credit availability before translation to avoid failed requests.

To check for sufficient credits before machine translation:

1. Calculate the total number of words that need to be translated.

2. Call [Check Sufficient Credits](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/multilingual/machine-translation/credit-data/check-sufficient-credits.md) and specify the word count to determine whether a site has enough credits for the translation.

3. If there are sufficient credits, use the [Machine Translation API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/multilingual/machine-translation/machine-translation/introduction.md) to translate the content. If not, Wix users need to purchase additional credits in the [Translation Manager](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-using-the-translation-manager).

## Create a translation credit dashboard

You may want to monitor translation costs for a site to help users track usage and plan their translation budget.

To create a credit dashboard for a site:

1. For each site, periodically call [Get Credit Data](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/multilingual/machine-translation/credit-data/get-credit-data.md) to obtain the quota type, quota amount, and the number of credits used at a given time.

2. For sites with a limited quota, calculate the remaining credits by subtracting the credits used from the quota.

3. Display this data on your dashboard and in a notification system to alert Wix users when a site's credit balance is running low.
