FAQ
Questions Smartling owners ask.
- 01
Can I upload a file and have it immediately ready for translation?
Yes! When using the upload_file capability, set the authorize parameter to true. This will automatically authorize the content for translation in your project.
- 02
How do I group multiple files into a single translation task?
First, use create_job to create a new translation job. Then, use add_content_to_job for each file URI you want to associate with that specific job UID.
- 03
Can I provide visual context to help translators?
Absolutely. Use the upload_context capability to send visual references (like screenshots or HTML) to your project, ensuring higher translation quality.
