What it does
Smartling MT API is a lightweight, synchronous endpoint that returns machine-translated text on demand. It does not store content on the platform or incorporate it into workflows or translation memory. Translation behavior follows the MT Profile configured in the Smartling Dashboard, which can include customer-trained engines, AutoSelect, fallback engines, language-specific engines, and glossary insertion.
The endpoint is aimed at content such as support tickets, chatbots, and user-generated content. It can also serve as an instant machine translation option for Smartling connectors, so new content is translated quickly while existing workflows and review processes stay in place. Access is obtained through Smartling's AI Hub, and documentation and support links are provided on the product page.
It suits developers and localization teams that need programmatic machine translation inside their own applications or pipelines. Smartling's wider developer offering includes a RESTful API, webhooks, a CLI, SDKs for Java, Python, and Node.js, and an MCP server. Buyers should confirm endpoint pricing, supported languages, and usage limits with Smartling before planning a deployment.
