Prerequisites
There are some prerequisites that you must meet beforehand to use the LanguageWire MT API with a production account.
If you are using a trial account, skip this section.
01. Platform registration
You must be registered and have an active account in our LanguageWire Platform.
This is usually set up by our Project Managers, who are responsible for configuring your account, including translation memories and termbases.
Additionaly, a subscription for MT API is required in order to able to create credentials for the API.
📧 Contact us for more details.

02. Log in and manage applications
Once your Platform account is ready, you must head to the Dashboard to log in to the system with your LanguageWire credentials, so you can start creating your own application(s).
Follow the apps management guide to learn how.

03. Generate your app's credentials
Once your application is created:
- The system automatically generates a Client ID associated to your LanguageWire account for further identification.
- You can generate temporary access tokens for your applications. Refer to the authentication section to learn now.
04. Consider the following recommended design guidelines
