The outcome

Create a repeatable localization service that preserves structured content and never turns fluent machine output into unchecked publication.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Define supported resources and locales, Free or Pro endpoint, data class, plan handling, glossary ownership, character budget, retries, retention, and review requirements.

  2. 02

    Keep the authentication key server-side in the Authorization header, validate file and text limits, protect placeholders and HTML, and reject unsupported or high-risk jobs.

  3. 03

    Use POST bodies, versioned v3 multilingual glossaries where appropriate, idempotent job records, explicit source and target locales, bounded polling, and usage accounting.

  4. 04

    Test placeholder survival, markup, glossary terms, numbers, locale codes, encoding, document layout, partial failures, 429 handling, duplicate jobs, key rotation, and provider outage.

  5. 05

    Route results to bilingual review, publish only an approved version, monitor terminology and spend, preserve source-to-target traceability, and rerun deliberately when source copy changes.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Send keys only in headers.
  • Version glossaries with source copy.
  • Keep publication behind bilingual review.
