SmartlingApiSdk
python library to work with Smartling translation services APIs
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already committed to Smartling as your translation provider and need Python API access. The permissive license and zero runtime dependencies make it low-risk to add. However, verify API compatibility before use, and be aware that the aging maintenance status means you may need to maintain patches yourself if Smartling's API evolves.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires valid Smartling account credentials (user_identifier and user_secret) to authenticate with the API.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- Maintenance status is aging—last release was 345 days ago—so expect slower response to issues or API changes.

What it is and what it does
SmartlingApiSdk is a Python client library for the Smartling translation platform, a service that provides computer-assisted translation and localization management. It wraps Smartling's REST API, allowing developers to programmatically submit content for translation, retrieve translations, manage translation projects, and integrate localization workflows into their applications or build pipelines.
The package has no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install. It has been in development since 2014-12-25 and is positioned in the top 15000 PyPI packages by download volume. However, its aging maintenance status—with the last release 345 days ago—means you should verify that it remains compatible with current Smartling API endpoints before adopting it for new projects.
Use it for
- Automate submission of user-facing strings to Smartling for professional translation in a CI/CD pipeline.
- Retrieve completed translations from Smartling and integrate them back into your application's localization workflow.
- Programmatically manage translation projects, jobs, or language pairs via the Smartling API.
- Build a custom localization dashboard or admin tool that syncs content with Smartling's platform.
- Integrate Smartling translation services into a content management or documentation build system.
