Steps
Register for a Weglot account and retrieve the project API key from the dashboard
Optionally call GET /public/languages/is-supported with languageFrom/languageTo to confirm the pair is supported before sending content
POST to /translate?api_key=... with l_from, l_to, request_url, and a words array of {w: text, t: WordType} objects
Read the to_words array in the response, which maps 1:1 by position to the words sent in the request
Cache translated strings application-side, since this endpoint is metered per call and not intended as a free-form ad hoc MT API
Known gotchas
There is no public REST endpoint for managing translation exclusion rules, glossary/word substitutions, or translation memory — those are configured only via the Weglot Dashboard or CSV import (Advanced plan and above)
The API key is passed as a URL query parameter rather than a header, so request URLs containing it should be scrubbed from logs
WordType only classifies where text came from for the dashboard UI (text vs. placeholder vs. meta content, etc.) — it does not change translation behavior
