How Do I Get Started?
That is the easy part. Just register as a developer and create your first application to interact with our translation API. Applications act like users. They give you a client ID and a client secret key, so you can be authorized to access the API. Want to use a Drupal plugin? Just select Drupal application while registering your new application.
