What is BYO Key (Bring Your Own Key)?
The pricing model where you connect your own translation API key and pay providers directly — no per-word resale markup.
In more depth
Contrast with word quotas: BYO-key costs track actual usage at wholesale, and translations remain yours regardless of any plugin license.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding BYO Key (Bring Your Own Key) helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
