Request a translation quote
Document: API Documentation. Include the approximate length, recipient, and deadline if you know them. We’ll review your request and may contact you by email about next steps.
What to know
Keep executable syntax separate from explanatory copy
Developer documentation may be generated from schemas, prose, examples, and code that cannot all be translated in the same way.
Reader and purpose
Code identifiers and JSON keys usually need to remain executable while explanatory text changes.
Quote details
Ask whether the output must preserve Markdown, HTML, or a documentation build format.

What to check before ordering
These notes help you describe your request. The receiving organization’s current instructions should guide the final requirements.
Identify the source of truth
State the API version, audience, repository or documentation platform, and whether the source is Markdown, OpenAPI YAML or JSON, a developer portal, or generated HTML. Include authentication guides, endpoint descriptions, parameter and response tables, errors, changelogs, and examples that readers will follow. Specify whether the output must be merged into a build or delivered as separate text.
Mark translatable fields precisely
OpenAPI documentation distinguishes fields such as descriptions and examples from path and parameter definitions. Keep endpoint URLs, HTTP methods, header names, JSON keys, enum values, and working code identifiers unchanged unless the API owner explicitly changes the contract. Explanatory prose, user-facing error messages, and comments may be translated according to the agreed scope. Check sample payloads so translated display text is not mistaken for a wire-format value.
Validate both build and usability
Have a developer compare the localized source with the English version, run the documentation build, and test links, code fences, syntax highlighting, snippets, and copyable requests. A page that renders well can still contain a changed identifier that breaks a pasted example. Translation should not silently update an API version, correct a technical error, or promise that the API behaves as described.
Quote by files and release cycle
Give repository format, approximate prose words, number of reference tables and examples, API version, terminology, review owner, and release deadline. Identify whether English docs change during translation and how deltas will be supplied. The public request can state the technical scope without exposing API keys, access tokens, private endpoints, or proprietary payloads.

Frequently asked
Common questions
Answers to common questions before you request a quote.
Should parameter names be translated?
Not unless the API owner changes the underlying contract. Usually the explanatory descriptions are localized while the executable name stays exact.
Can generated HTML be the only source file?
It can be reviewed, but the source repository or OpenAPI description is preferable when the localized documentation must be rebuilt and maintained.
