Request

Element	Type	Is Mandatory?	Description
data	array of content	Yes	List of input text for localization.
enableNmt	boolean	No	Specify whether the content localization process should use NMT technology or not. i.e., When the enableNmt value is true, the system will initially refer to the Lookup database to localize content. If the content is not available in the database, then the NMT is used for translation. Note - By default, the enableNmt= false
enableTransliteration	boolean	No	Specify whether the content localization process should use transliteration technology or not. i.e., When the enableTransliteration value is true, the system will initially refer to the Lookup database to localize content. If the content is not available in the database, then nmt is used for translation. If nmt fails, transliteration is called. Note - By default, the enableTransliteration= true
enableLookup	boolean	No	The parameter will specify whether the application should refer to the Lookup DB or not. i.e., when the enableLookup is true, the system will initially refer to the Database to fetch contents. Note - By default, the enableLookup= false.
debugMode	boolean	No	The Debug parameter will provide log details about localized content. The details provided are the entity code, localization process type, and more. This information is useful to capture the log and analyze the system performance. Note By default, the debugMode= false
nmtMask	boolean	No	The feature to screen the non-dictionary words used in a sentence. In other words, the mask will indicate the words that should not be translated into the target language. Note - By default, the nmtMask = false Note - To set the nmtMask = true, it is mandatory the src_lang = en (English).
nmtMaskTerms	array of content	No	Determines the Words that are to be masked. Note - On defining values in the nmtMaskTerms, then automatically the nmtMask is set to true. Example - Masking a term - "nmtMaskTerms": ["Reverie Language Technologies"] Here, the API will mask the term Reverie Language Technologies, if found in the source content, and will transliterate the word.

Response

Element	Type	Description

inString	string	The input text in the source language.
outString	string	The localized content in the requested target language(s).
api_status	integer	Status of API Moderated / Partial /Unmoderated (Aggregate of all segments). Refer to API Messages to know about the available api_status and its description.
status	string	Error status code for the invalid request. Note The status is shown only for the invalid request.
error_cause	string	A Human-readable error message. Refer to API Messages to know more about the error messages and description.
tokenConsumed	integer	The payload length served by NMT. Note - if LookUp DB serves the payload and if the content is moderated, then the tokenConsumed = zero 0.

Handling Error

The Localization API raises exceptions for many reasons, such as failed conversions, invalid parameters, authentication errors, and network unavailability. It will provide more specific machine-readable messages with an error response so that users can react to errors more effectively.

Refer to: API Messages section to know the error code and corresponding messages.
