Core Workflow

Document Translation Flow

1. Create Upload URL → 2. Upload File → 3. Submit Translation → 4. Poll Status → 5. Download Result

Step-by-Step:

1. Create Upload URL

   POST /files/create_upload_url
   Headers: x-api-key: <your_api_key>
   Body: {"filename": "report.docx", "is_can_edit": true}
   Returns: file_id, upload_url, content_type
   

2. Upload File

   • Option A: User uploads via upload_page_url in browser (drag-and-drop)
   • Option B: PUT request to upload_url with file content

3. Submit Translation

   POST /translate/document
   Headers: x-api-key: <your_api_key>
   Body: {
     "file_id": 123456789,
     "source_language": "en",
     "target_language": "zh-cn",
     "trans_mode": "master"
   }
   

4. Poll Status (every 3-5 seconds)

   POST /translate/status
   Headers: x-api-key: <your_api_key>
   Body: {"file_id": "123456789"}
   Returns: status_name (parsing/translating/compositing/completed)
   

5. Download Translation

   • When status_name == "completed", response includes download_url

Using Glossaries

Ensure consistent terminology by specifying glossary IDs:

{
  "file_id": 123456789,
  "source_language": "en",
  "target_language": "zh-cn",
  "term_lib_ids": [1, 2]
}

Using Translation Memory

Reuse previous translations with memory libraries:

{
  "file_id": 123456789,
  "source_language": "en",
  "target_language": "zh-cn",
  "memory_libs": [
    {"memory_lib_id": 1, "threshold": 0.8}
  ]
}

• threshold: Match threshold, 0-1, default 0.8

Status Reference

Translation Status Flow

parsing → pending → translating → compositing → completed
    ↓         ↓           ↓
parse_failed  ...   translation_failed
