Translation

The Translation API is used to access, create, and modify the different translations, translationTag, and translationLocale objects on your business' account. The Translation API is connected to the Locale API, as locales help inform the languages used for translations. Translations are used for the scheduler, not the back office - meaning they would show to clients booking and not to staff logged into back office.

To differentiate between the /translationLocale, /translationTag, and /translation paths and show how they all interact to translate content accurately - as well as show how you can control these translations - we present the following use case:

If you run a business in South Carolina, you would naturally have English set up as your first language. This means that the business object on your account would have the locale property set to "en–us". (For more info on this, see the Business API page, and for more info on locale objects see the Locale API page.) You want to make translations available for Spanish and French on your business' account. The first thing you’ll want to do is add those two locales to your translationLocale table by making a POST call to the translationLocale endpoint.

After you do that, you can format translation objects and store then in a translationTag object by first making a POST call to the translationTag endpoint with the proper object to reference what you are translating, and then making a POST call to the translation endpoint with the translation object set up to reference the translationTag you just created and the locale code of the translationLocale the translation is being provided for.

On this page

These are the endpoints that are available under the /translationLocale, /translationTag and /translation paths, which show all the different objects that contribute to creating translations, as detailed in the paragraphs above.

Endpoint	Description
GET /translationLocale	Returns all translationLocale objects on your business' account - which represent the different languages that your business has explicitly said it wants to support - in array format.
POST /translationLocale	Creates a new translationLocale object on your business' account - in other words, this call adds a language to the list of allowed languages that your business supports. Request body/payload: Must pass a translationLocale object in the request body/payload. For these calls, you need to pass a translationLocale object with all required fields and any fields you want to set filled in the body of the payload. We have an example of a translationLocale object in the responses section below and have indicated the required fields in the object values table at the bottom of this page.
PUT /translationLocale	Updates an existing translationLocale object on your business' account - this call is used to delete a translationLocale object by changing the active property to false. Request body/payload: Must pass a translationLocale object in the request body/payload. For these calls, you need to pass a translationLocale object with all required fields and any fields you want to update filled in the body of the payload. We have an example of a translationLocale object in the responses section below and have indicated the required fields in the object values table at the bottom of this page.
GET /translationTag	Returns all translationTag objects on your business' account - which represent the pieces of text that you want to be translated - in array format.
POST /translationTag	Creates a translationTag object on your business' account for mapping translations against. Request body/payload: Must pass a translationTag object in the request body/payload. For these calls, you need to pass a translationTag object with all required fields and any fields you want to set filled in the body of the payload. We have an example of a translationTag object in the responses section below and have indicated the required fields in the object values table at the bottom of this page.
PUT /translationTag	Updates an existing translationTag object on your business’ account. Can be used to change the defaultValue of the translationTag. There is no dedicated endpoint for deleting a translationTag, so the PUT call can also be used to delete the translationTag by setting the active property on the object to false. Request body/payload: Must pass a translationTag object in the request body/payload. For these calls, you need to pass a translationTag object with all required fields and any fields you want to update filled in the body of the payload. We have an example of a translationTag object in the responses section below and have indicated the required fields in the object values table at the bottom of this page.
POST /translation	Creates a translation object that is tied back to the translationTag. Request body/payload: Must pass a translation object in the request body/payload. For these calls, you need to pass a translation object with all required fields and any fields you want to set filled in the body of the payload. We have an example of a translation object in the responses section below and have indicated the required fields in the object values table at the bottom of this page.
PUT /translation	Updates an existing translation object on your business' account. Request body/payload: Must pass a translation object in the request body/payload. For these calls, you need to pass a translation object with all required fields and any fields you want to update filled in the body of the payload. We have an example of a translationTag object in the responses section below and have indicated the required fields in the object values table at the bottom of this page.
DELETE /translation/{translationId}	Removes a existing translation object from view by changing its active property to false.

There are no parameters associated with translationLocale, translationTag, or translation calls.
