What are Translator Credits?

How Translator Credits work

Use your plan minutes first

Every month your subscription includes translation time. Hope Translator uses those included minutes before touching any credits.

Credits kick in automatically

When included hours are used up, Translator Credits on your account cover additional live translation — 1 credit equals 1 minute into 1 output language.

Add more when you need them

If you need extra time, Stream Scale and Stream Enterprise can buy Translator Credit packs. Credits you already have — including any granted to your account — stay available until you use them.

How to check your remaining credits

When you are signed in, open your broadcast account menu to see your usage bar and Translator Credits balance. You can also open the Translator Credits page to view your balance and recent usage. If your plan allows purchases, you can buy more there too.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get Translator Credits?▼

Credits may be added to your account by Hope Translator, or you can buy them on Stream Scale and Stream Enterprise. Lower plans use their included monthly hours only unless credits were granted to the account.

How does multi-language usage work?▼

1 Translator Credit equals 1 minute of live translation into 1 output language. If three languages are active for one minute, that uses 3 credits.

Do Translator Credits expire?▼

No. Unused Translator Credits never expire — whether they were granted or purchased. Spare credits stay on your account until you need them.

Should I buy credits or upgrade my plan?▼

Upgrade if you regularly need more hours each month. Buy Translator Credits for occasional overages, one-off events, or when you want flexible minutes that never expire. See pricing to compare plans.
