# Propose translation

> Propose translating a composition into languages. Sigma's `translate_composition`: every language in one approval, each landing in this project as its own editable composition (dubbed, optionally lip-synced and in a chosen voice, or subtitled). Answers the quote, every language at its per-minute price, with a signed approval. Never starts on its own: send `approval.approval` to POST /v1/sigma/approvals, which charges it and refunds a language that fails; follow it with GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/translations.

  description: >-
    The priced, versioned public API. Every call authenticates with a workspace
    API key (`Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…`), names the project it files its
    output under, and reports what it cost. `GET /v1/capabilities` answers what
    this deployment can serve right now and at what price; anything it reports
    as unavailable answers 503 `capability_unavailable` rather than 404.
