**AutoMLP - AI Translation for WPML** is WPML automatic translation addon. It allows you to translate your WordPress website using different AI services  like **OpenAI** and **Google Gemini**, at low cost.

As a **WPML** user, you may already know that its automatic translation feature works using translation credits. Typically, around **$0.86 per 1,000 credits**. Each time content is translated automatically, credits are used based on the number of characters being translated [Learn More](https://coolplugins.net/wpml-translation-cost-alternative/?utm_source=automlp_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=credits&utm_content=learn_more).

However, **AutoMLP** provides a different approach. Instead of using translation credits, it allows you to connect your own AI service API keys such as **OpenAI** or **Google Gemini**. This means translations are generated using your own API. The usage limits depend only on the limits of the API service you are using.
