Set Up and Use the Smartcat Paligo Integration

Prior to setting up the Smartcat Paligo integration collect the following parameters:

• Paligo Base URL

• Paligo Username

• API Key

In your browser’s address bar you will find the Base URL for your Paligo account (e.g., https://company-name.paligoapp.com/).

In your Paligo Profile, you will find your Username.

You can create an API Key by going to your profile and then to API Keys. There you will find a Create new key button.

In your Smartcat account, go to Integrations and then to Add new integration. Look for Paligo and then click on Set up integration.

You will now be asked to name the integration and to provide your Paligo Base URL, Paligo Username, and API Key.

You can also choose whether you want to list all content from your Paligo account or just what is marked as In Translation.

To start the translation process, simply select your content and click Create translation.

Select if you want to create a new project in Smartcat or upload a file to the existing project.

Enter the project data, such as name, deadline, and source and target language. You can select multiple target languages.

Select the appropriate workflow for your translation. The Automatic Translation → Post-Editing workflow allows Smartcat to select the most suitable AI engine for the initial translation. After that, you can review the translation yourself or invite a collaborator to your project in Smartcat.

Proceed to the Integration-specific settings by clicking the respective button below. Select the import mode for your translation: to import existing translations or skip this step.

When importing existing translations, you can pick which status they should be in.

After the synchronization process is complete, you will see a list of target languages under the title of the original file. Click on the underlined title on the left to open your project in Smartcat. Or click on Open Editor to see the content and its translation.

Once the translation is complete, you can now send it back to Paligo by clicking on

Send to Paligo.

When sending content back to Paligo, you can determine its Completion level (i.e., whether all steps of the translation workflow were completed or not), confirm the Target languages, and pick whether or not it should rewrite confirmed translations.

Once synchronization is completed, you will be able to see the translation in Paligo.
