Behind the scenes

Batch Instant Translate & Pretranslate using the API
You can use Instant Translate (powered by LILT’s Contextual AI Engine) for one or more files that have been previously uploaded by using the/translate/file
endpoint and specifying multiple file IDs as documented here. This option bypasses writing data to our database and is useful for pure Contextual AI workflows. Alternatively, you can use our Pretranslate
endpoint here, which is similar to clicking the Pretranslate
button in the LILT application.
