| 117 | +## 🔧 API Reference |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +### Core Components |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +### 🔐 Authentication |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +The SDK supports authentication via access key and secret: |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +```python |
| 126 | +from lara_sdk import Credentials, Translator |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +credentials = Credentials("your-access-key-id", "your-access-key-secret") |
| 129 | +lara = Translator(credentials) |
| 130 | +``` |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +**Environment Variables (Recommended):** |
| 133 | +```bash |
| 134 | +export LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-access-key-id" |
| 135 | +export LARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="your-access-key-secret" |
| 136 | +``` |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +```python |
| 139 | +import os |
| 140 | +from lara_sdk import Credentials |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +credentials = Credentials( |
| 143 | + os.environ['LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID'], |
| 144 | + os.environ['LARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET'] |
| 145 | +) |
| 146 | +``` |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +**Alternative Constructor:** |
| 149 | +```python |
| 150 | +# You can also pass credentials directly to Translator |
| 151 | +lara = Translator( |
| 152 | + access_key_id="your-access-key-id", |
| 153 | + access_key_secret="your-access-key-secret" |
| 154 | +) |
| 155 | +``` |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +### 🌍 Translator |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +```python |
| 161 | +# Create translator with credentials |
| 162 | +lara = Translator(credentials) |
| 163 | +``` |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +#### Text Translation |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +```python |
| 168 | +# Basic translation |
| 169 | +result = lara.translate("Hello", target="fr-FR", source="en-US") |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +# Multiple strings |
| 172 | +result = lara.translate(["Hello", "World"], target="fr-FR", source="en-US") |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +# TextBlocks (mixed translatable/non-translatable content) |
| 175 | +from lara_sdk import TextBlock |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +text_blocks = [ |
| 178 | + TextBlock(text="Translatable text", translatable=True), |
| 179 | + TextBlock(text="<br>", translatable=False), # Non-translatable HTML |
| 180 | + TextBlock(text="More translatable text", translatable=True) |
| 181 | +] |
| 182 | +result = lara.translate(text_blocks, target="fr-FR", source="en-US") |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +# With advanced options |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +result = lara.translate( |
| 187 | + "Hello", |
| 188 | + target="fr-FR", |
| 189 | + source="en-US", |
| 190 | + instructions=["Formal tone"], |

| 193 | + style="fluid", |
| 194 | + timeout_ms=10000 |
| 195 | +) |
| 196 | +``` |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +### 📖 Document Translation |
| 199 | +#### Simple document translation |
| 200 | +```python |

| 225 | + filename="document.txt", |
| 226 | + source="en-US", |
| 227 | + target="fr-FR", |
| 228 | + adapt_to=["mem_1A2b3C4d5E6f7G8h9I0jKl"], # Replace with actual memory IDs |
| 229 | + glossaries=["gls_1A2b3C4d5E6f7G8h9I0jKl"] # Replace with actual glossary IDs |

| 237 | +```python |
| 238 | +translated_content = lara.documents.download(document.id) |
| 239 | +``` |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +### 🧠 Memory Management |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +```python |
| 244 | +# Create memory |
| 245 | +memory = lara.memories.create("MyMemory") |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | +# Create memory with external ID (MyMemory integration) |
| 248 | +memory = lara.memories.create("Memory from MyMemory", external_id="aabb1122") # Replace with actual external ID |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +# Important: To update/overwrite a translation unit you must provide a tuid. Calls without a tuid always create a new unit and will not update existing entries. |
| 251 | +# Add translation to single memory |
| 252 | +memory_import = lara.memories.add_translation("mem_1A2b3C4d5E6f7G8h9I0jKl", "en-US", "fr-FR", "Hello", "Bonjour", tuid="greeting_001") |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +# Add translation to multiple memories |

| 260 | + tuid="tuid", sentence_before="sentenceBefore", sentence_after="sentenceAfter" |
| 261 | +) |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +# TMX import from file |
| 264 | +memory_import = lara.memories.import_tmx("mem_1A2b3C4d5E6f7G8h9I0jKl", "/path/to/your/memory.tmx") # Replace with actual TMX file path |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +# Delete translation |
| 267 | +# Important: if you omit tuid, all entries that match the provided fields will be removed |
| 268 | +delete_job = lara.memories.delete_translation( |
| 269 | + "mem_1A2b3C4d5E6f7G8h9I0jKl", "en-US", "fr-FR", "Hello", "Bonjour", tuid="greeting_001" |
| 270 | +) |
| 271 | + |
| 272 | +# Wait for import completion |
| 273 | +completed_import = lara.memories.wait_for_import(memory_import, max_wait_time=300) # 5 minutes |
| 274 | +``` |
| 275 | + |
| 276 | +### 📚 Glossary Management |
| 277 | + |
| 278 | +```python |
| 279 | +# Create glossary |
| 280 | +glossary = lara.glossaries.create("MyGlossary") |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | +# Import CSV from file |
| 283 | +glossary_import = lara.glossaries.import_csv("gls_1A2b3C4d5E6f7G8h9I0jKl", "/path/to/your/glossary.csv") # Replace with actual CSV file path |
| 284 | + |
| 285 | +# Check import status |
| 286 | +import_status = lara.glossaries.get_import_status(import_id) |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +# Wait for import completion |
| 289 | +completed_import = lara.glossaries.wait_for_import(glossary_import, max_wait_time=300) # 5 minutes |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +# Export glossary |
