Best Practices

  • Start Conservative — Begin with one language and resource type
  • Monitor Credit Usage — Track how many credits Auto-Pilot consumes
  • Review Job History — Check that translations meet your quality standards
  • Adjust Filters — Refine what gets translated based on results
  • Set Realistic Schedules — Balance freshness with credit efficiency

Reducing Translation Backlog

Auto-Pilot is designed to reduce the "translation backlog" as your catalog changes over time. It's perfect for stores with frequent content updates.
