 * We are using TranslatePress and DeepL on our website.
 * DeepL charges by character.
    We reached the 1,000,000 character limit in a week.
 * Before we purchase more from DeepL, is there a way TranslatePress can save some
   or all translated pages so that they can be re-used and not incur additional 
   charges?
 * Thank you
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fre-using-a-translation%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * If you want to talk about the pro-features we recommend you open a ticket on 
   [https://translatepress.com/support/ask-a-presale-question/](https://translatepress.com/support/ask-a-presale-question/),
   because on the free forum we are not allowed to discuss them.
 * The translations are made based on strings and stored in your site’s local database
   so that the next time a visitor accesses the same page, it doesn’t need to query
   the Google API again for the same strings. This saves execution time and most
   importantly saves costs.
 * Translations are not based on a specific page. They are based on strings. The
   strings on the page are divided by HTML tags. So, for example, a paragraph inside
   a “p” tag is considered one individual string. This means that if a string is
   translated on a page (either by Google Translate or human reviewed), then the
   same string found on another page will already have a translation. For example,
   you only need to translate the Menu items once, and they will be translated across
   the website.
