What is WPML Credits?
WPML's automatic-translation currency: each word costs credits, with engines priced differently (DeepL costs more credits than basic engines).
In more depth
Predicting large-site costs requires spreadsheet math; per-character wholesale billing is simpler to reason about.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding WPML Credits 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.
