Lilt REST API API Reference
The Lilt REST API enables programmatic access to the full-range of Lilt backend services including:
- Training of and translating with interactive, adaptive machine translation
- Large-scale translation memory
- The Lexicon (a large-scale termbase)
- Programmatic control of the Lilt CAT environment
- Translation memory synchronization
Requests and responses are in JSON format. The REST API only responds to HTTPS / SSL requests.
Authentication
Requests are authenticated via REST API key, which requires the Business plan.
Requests are authenticated using
HTTP Basic Auth. Add your REST API key as both the username and password.
For development, you may also pass the REST API key via the key query parameter. This is less secure than HTTP Basic Auth, and is not recommended for production use.

Upload a File
Upload a File in any of the formats documented in our knowledge base. Request parameters should be passed in as query string parameters.
Example CURL command:
curl -X POST https://lilt.com/2/files?key=API_KEY&name=en_US.json \
--header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
--data-binary @en_US.json
Calls to GET /files are used to monitor the language detection results. The API response will be augmented to include detected language and confidence score.
The language detection will complete asynchronously. Prior to completion, the detected_lang value will be zxx, the reserved ISO 639-2 code for "No linguistic content/not applicable".
If the language can not be determined, or the detection process fails, the detected_lang field will return und, the reserved ISO 639-2 code for undetermined language, and the detected_lang_confidence score will be 0.
The file contents to be uploaded. The entire POST body will be treated as the file.
A file name.
A hash value to associate with the file. The MD5 hash of the body contents will be used by default if a value isn't provided.
Flag indicating whether to perform language detection on the uploaded file. Default is false.
The project to associate the uploaded file with.
The category of the file. The options are REFERENCE, or API. The default is API. Files with the REFERENCE category will be displayed as reference material.
Comma-separated list of labels to add to the uploaded document.

Documents
Create a Document
Create a new Document. A Document is a collection of one or more Segments. Documents are nested inside of Projects, and appear in the Project details view in the web app. Document-level relationships between Segments are considered by the machine translation system during adaptation. If there is no inherent document structure in your data, you still might consider grouping related Segments into Documents to improve translation quality.
The Document resource to create.
- name: string
-
The document name.
- project_id: integer

Pretranslate a Document
Initiate pretranslation of a list of Documents. This request will mark document(s) as being pretranslated. Pretranslation in this context is:
- Applying and confirming exact TM matches based on the Memory of the Project;
- Translating all other segments via MT without confirming them.
Example CURL command:
curl -X POST https://lilt.com/2/documents/pretranslate?key=API_KEY -d {"id": [123]} -H "Content-Type: application/json"
Document translation is an asynchronous process that, in effect, is performed in the background.
To check the status of pretranslation for a document, use the GET
/documents endpoint. When pretranslation is in progress for a document, the GET /documents endpoint's response will include is_pretranslating
= true as well as a more detailed status property status.pretranslation one of idle, pending, or running.
Once pretranslation is finished, the document can be downloaded via GET
/documents/files.

Download a Document
Export a Document that has been translated in the Lilt web application. Any Document can be downloaded in XLIFF 1.2 format, or can be retrieved in its original uploaded format by setting is_xliff=false. This endpoint will fail if either (a) export or (b) pre-translation operations are in-progress. The status of those operations can be determined by retrieving the Document resource.
