API caps on requests per time window; translation engines throttle bursts, so bulk translation must batch and pace calls.

Why it matters for your website

Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
