Lionbridge-translation actions
Actions
To translate some text from one language to another, Lionbridge uses delayed jobs. That means that you will not be able to receive a translated text immediately in response to a request for translation. Therefore, you need to make a request to create a translation job, then get the code of your request and periodically poll Lionbridge to find out the status of your request. Once you get the status REVIEW_TRANSLATION, you can make a request to receive translation.
To create translation job you can use these 4 actions:
Request translation job (Simple)Request translation job (Batch)Request translation job (Object properties)Request translation job (Array of objects)
Batch means that you can specify multiple source phrases and multiple target languages
Simple means that you can specify only one source phrase and one target language.
To poll about job status use Retrieve job status action.
To retrieve translated phrase(s) use Retrieve translation action.
Actions’s in/out schemas can be found at /lib/schemas
