The flow

Send files or text over the API, and we’ll allocate them to one or more of our translators. We can trigger a callback, or you can poll for updates until the job is complete.

You send a request (a “job”) via the Gengo API.

We allocate the job to our translators.

A translator picks up the job and starts working.

When complete, you retrieve the job via API.

You approve the completed translation.

Volume pricing with the API

API users receive a substantial discount versus website users. This saves you money, and allows you to re-sell translation and earn a revenue share if you wish without conflicting with Gengo’s website pricing.
