Manage and translate text in minutes with Lokalise API and AI translation

Click on your profile avatar in the left-hand corner and choose profile settings. Go to API token tab and click ‘generate new token’ (read-only or read-and-write). Paste it to the API token header field in your endpoint templates.

To translate text files, you’ll need to use these two endpoints in this order:

1. Upload a translation file
2. Create a translation task

Fill in the other parameters, like task description, due date, task type ‘translation’, source and target languages, and then click ‘try it’ to get an instant response. Click on the clipboard icon to copy the response or go to your Lokalise project to see updates triggered by your endpoints.

Once files have been uploaded, and your translation task has been assigned and completed, fetch translations using the ‘Download files’ endpoint.

Note: if you want to translate with AI, you’ll need to set up automations inside Lokalise that trigger machine translations as soon as you create a task via the API.
