Comparison guide
How should teams compare translation APIs for short drama?
API choice depends on context handling, glossary support, latency, cost, language coverage, and how the output enters subtitle production.

Bottom line: Benchmark the same subtitle sample with series context, terminology, timing constraints, and human review. API brand alone does not determine release quality.
Decision table
| Dimension | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| Text quality | Compare same-source outputs | Include names and repeated terms |
| Context | Prompt, batch, glossary, memory | Make context explicit |
| Integration | Async jobs, limits, callbacks | Test failure and retry |
| Delivery | Cue length, timing, format | A translation API is not a finished subtitle package |
