Download multiple translated files (DEPRECATED)

Download ZIP archive with the requested translated files.

Unlike "Download all translations of the file" you can specify multiple file URIs (limit is 300 files) and locale IDs to select which files and languages you want to download.

It is important to check the HTTP response status code. If Smartling finds and returns the file normally, you will receive a 200 SUCCESS response. If you receive any other response status code than 200, the requested files will not be part of the response.

When you upload a UTF-16 character encoded file, then /file/get requests for that file will have a character encoding of UTF-16. All other uploaded files will return with a character encoding of UTF-8.

You can always use the content-type header in the response of a file/get request to determine the character encoding.

Example:

  curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" 'https://api.smartling.com/files-api/v2/projects/{projectId}/files/zip?localeIds[]=de-DE&fileUris[]=yourfile.json'
get/files-api/v2/projects/{projectId}/files/zip

Path parameters

projectIdstring required

A unique project identifier. This can be found in the Smartling Dashboard under Account Settings > API.

Query parameters

fileUris[]string[] required

Smartling values that each uniquely identify a file. The limit is 300 files.

localeIds[]string[] required

List of locales to download.

retrievalType'pending' | 'published' | 'pseudo' | 'contextMatchingInstrumented'

Determines the desired format for the download. Applies only to translated files.

retrievalTypeDescription
pendingSmartling returns any translations (including non-published translations)
publishedSmartling returns only published/pre-published translations.
pseudoSmartling returns a modified version of the original text with certain characters transformed and the text expanded. For example, the uploaded string "This is a sample string", will return as "Thís ís á sámplé str~íñg". Pseudo translations enable you to test how a longer string integrates into your application.
contextMatchingInstrumentedSmartling returns a modified version of the original file with strings wrapped in a specific set of Unicode symbols that can later be recognized and matched by the Chrome Context Capture Extension.
includeOriginalStringsboolean

Specifies whether Smartling will return the original string or an empty string where no translation is available. This parameter is only supported for ANDROID, ARB, GETTEXT, IDML, IOS, JAVA Properties, JSON, QT, STRINGSDICT, XLIFF, XML, and YAML files. If unset, the default is <code>true</code>.

ValueDescription
trueIf there is no translation, Smartling returns the original string.
falseIf there is no translation, Smartling returns an empty string.

TRIM_LEADINGRemove all except the last path segment. e.g. /en/strings/nav.properties becomes nav.properties
LOCALE_LASTAdds a locale folder to the file path directly before the filename. e.g. /strings/nav.properties becomes /strings/en/nav.properties
localeMode'LOCALE_IN_PATH' | 'LOCALE_IN_NAME' | 'LOCALE_IN_NAME_AND_PATH'

Determines how locales will be handled in the downloaded zip
