The Challenge
Connecting Any System to Professional Translation Without Custom Integration Work
Companies run translation-dependent content through very different technology stacks — websites, custom software, mobile applications, and content management systems — each with its own way of moving content in and out. Building a one-off integration for every platform, with its own authentication, file handling, and project-tracking logic, does not scale as the number of systems and languages grows.
Every Platform Needs Its Own Integration
Websites, software, mobile apps, and CMS platforms each expose content differently — without a common interface, every new system requires a bespoke translation integration built from scratch.
Ad Hoc Integrations Skip Proper Security
Custom, one-off connections between internal systems and translation vendors often lack consistent authentication and access control, unlike a purpose-built API designed around API keys and authorization tokens.
Text and Digital Assets Need Consistent Handling
Translation projects involve more than plain text — images and other digital assets need to move through the same workflow without separate, inconsistent handling per project or platform.
Mixing Human and Machine Translation Requires a Managed Workflow
Coordinating human translation teams alongside AI-powered Neural Machine Translation and post-editing, consistently and to a certified standard, is difficult without a workflow designed to manage both.
How It Works
One REST API for Every Translation Workflow
By leveraging the GPI Translation API, you can integrate your applications directly into GPI’s award-winning suite of translation services and tools, including the Translation Services Portal — providing a flexible way to manage your translation workflows and to import and export content and digital assets for translation anytime, anywhere.
Simple, Standards-Based Integration
Comprehensive documentation details each REST method the API exposes, along with its variations and parameters, so developers can review the GPI Translation Services API Client SDK and consume the API based on their needs. A .NET SDK is currently available, and GPI can develop equivalent SDKs for other languages — including PHP and Java — as needed.
GPI’s Translation Services API follows REST rules (Representational State Transfer) for platform-independent consumption from any device and any programming language — making it easy for developers to write and test applications using nothing more than an HTML client to work with the API.
How It Works
Four REST Operations, Full Project Control
GPI’s Translation Services API RESTful project exposes simple instructions for managing translation projects programmatically, from any device or programming language.
- 1
GET — Retrieve Items
List all translation projects, or filter results by certain criteria.
- 2
POST — Add Items
Add a new project, or new pages and assets to an existing one.
- 3
PUT — Update Items
Update a quote note or other project details.
- 4
DELETE — Remove Items
Cancel a quote, or remove certain pages or assets.
