Real-Time Progress Tracking
| Field | Whakamāramatanga |

pending (queued, waiting for a GPU worker), processing (actively translating), completed, failed |
processed_texts |
Number of individual translations completed so far. Updates in real time as each text is translated. |
progress_percentage |
Completion percentage (0-100). Calculated from processed_texts / total_texts. |
queue_position |
Your position in the queue when status is "pending" (1 = next up). Null when processing or completed. Use this to estimate wait time and show queue status to your users. |
processing_time |

Best Practices for Large Workloads
- Send 1 target language per batch request. This keeps each batch fast and makes progress easy to track.
- Keep batches at 50-100 texts. Smaller batches complete faster and give you more frequent progress updates.
- Submit as many batch jobs as you need — our GPU cluster auto-scales to handle demand. Jobs are processed in parallel across multiple instances.
- On timeout, re-poll the same job_id instead of submitting a new batch. The original job may still be processing on the GPU.
- Poll every 3-5 seconds. More frequent polling does not speed up processing.

Auto-Scaling Cloud Infrastructure
TranslateAPI runs on dedicated NVIDIA A100 GPU instances with automatic horizontal scaling. When demand increases, additional GPU instances are launched within minutes to maintain fast response times. All requests are queued and processed — send hundreds of concurrent requests and they'll all be handled. Real-time translations get priority, batch jobs process in the background.
