For the purposes of these Terms of Use, the Weglot API, the services providing translation and dissemination of a web application into multiple languages described in Article 4.1, the Professional Translations defined in Article 4.2 as well as the documentation cited in Article 4.4 and, more generally, any development or upgrade to the Software provided by Weglot with the adjoining documentation are collectively referred to using the term « Software ».

4.1 API

Weglot provides an API that enables a web application (hereinafter referred to as the “Application “) to translate and disseminate this Application into different languages. This includes, but is not limited to, detecting original content (hereinafter « the content ») the translation of this content into one or more languages selected by the Users (hereinafter the « Translations ») from a list of available languages provided on the Website, the hosting of the Translations, and their dissemination to Application users.

Once Weglot is integrated with your Application, your text content is sent to the Weglot API, translated and returned. Your website is then updated with the translations in real time.

Weglot provides a first round of machine translation using APIs from service providers such as Microsoft Translator, among others.

Each time Your users request a language different from your Application’s source language, Weglot receives a translation request. Weglot consults Your dictionary to find all of the requested content and returns the translated phrase. Your dictionary is a table containing all of the original phrases and their translations. Your dictionary is stored on Weglot’s servers. You can access and modify them at any time from the Personal Workspace for Your Weglot Account.

API access can be provided directly or through extensions provided by Weglot on the platforms listed on the Website. They can only work if the Application is connected to the internet. The Users have access to their API key and their Translations from their Personal Workspace, where they can also order and purchase translations from professional translators as described in Article 5.2.

The Users are informed and agree that use of the API requires storage and indexing the Translations on the Weglot platform, including, without being limited to, the Professional Translations.
