JSON File Translation API for Developers

JSON File Translation API for Developers

JSON is the lingua franca of modern web development. Your i18n files, configuration files, and API responses all speak JSON. But when you need them to speak multiple human languages, things get complicated fast.

What if translating JSON was as simple as making an API call?

The JSON Translation Challenge

Challenge 1: Structure Preservation Is Critical

JSON isn't just text - it's structured data:

  • Nested objects must maintain hierarchy
  • Arrays need consistent ordering
  • Data types must remain intact
  • Special characters require proper escaping

One misplaced comma, one broken structure, and your entire application crashes. Manual translation? It's a ticking time bomb.

Challenge 2: Context Gets Lost in Translation

JSON keys without context are meaningless:

{
  "error": "Invalid input",
  "button": "Submit",
  "status": "Active"
}

Is "Submit" a verb or noun? Is "Active" for users, subscriptions, or features? Without context, translators guess. When translators guess, users suffer.

Challenge 3: Scale Becomes Unmanageable

Modern applications have massive JSON files:

  • React apps with 1000+ translation keys
  • API responses with dynamic content
  • Configuration files across multiple services
  • Mobile apps with platform-specific variants

Multiply by supported languages, and you're drowning in JSON files that nobody can manage effectively.

CodeRelay API: JSON Translation Perfected

CodeRelay provides a powerful API that makes JSON translation as simple as any other API call in your application. One endpoint, infinite possibilities.

Simple Yet Powerful API

Translation becomes just another microservice:

POST /api/v1/translate
{
  "source_language": "en",
  "target_languages": ["es", "fr", "de"],
  "content": { /* your JSON */ },
  "options": {
    "preserve_keys": true,
    "context": "e-commerce checkout"
  }
}

Get back perfectly translated, properly formatted JSON. Every time.

Intelligent JSON Processing

CodeRelay understands JSON deeply:

  • Structure Guarantee: Output structure always matches input
  • Type Preservation: Numbers stay numbers, booleans stay booleans
  • Key Intelligence: Knows which keys to translate, which to preserve
  • Escape Handling: Proper handling of special characters

Your JSON remains valid and functional in every language.
