Differences Between Built-In and Third-Party Services
- Built-in translation services
Built-in services are provided by TTime and shared by TTime users
Advantages

Disadvantages
Because the service is shared, translation may occasionally fail during periods of high demand
- Third-party translation services
Third-party services require you to obtain credentials from the provider and enter them in TTime
Some services are paid, while others include a free usage quota. Refer to each provider's current terms for details
Advantages
The credentials are used independently and generally provide more consistent availability
Disadvantages
You need to register with the provider and obtain the required credentials
