## Overview

Smartling is a translation management platform that handles files, strings and translation jobs across locales, with machine translation, glossaries and quality checks. Tray.ai connects to Smartling through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Smartling API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping Smartling credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store Smartling credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the Smartling API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the Smartling API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to Smartling?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to Smartling through the HTTP Connector, which calls the Smartling API directly. Any call the Smartling API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with Smartling?

The Smartling API uses a bearer token. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated Smartling connector?

Smartling runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated Smartling connector from the Smartling API.
