Quick Start

Get your first translation response in under 5 minutes.

1. Create an account

Sign up at app.i18nme.com. The Free plan gives you 1 project, 2 languages, 250 keys per project, 1,000 translation units/month, and 5,000 API calls per day — no credit card required.

2. Create a project

In the portal, click New project, choose a name and source language (e.g. en).

3. Add translation keys

Go to your project → Keys tab → Add key. Enter a key name (e.g. common.welcome) and its value in the source language.

Approve the translation so it's visible via the API.

4. Create an API key

Go to your project → API Keys tab → Generate key. Copy the key — it starts with key_live_.

5. Make your first request

# Fetch the project manifest (available languages)
curl https://sapi.i18nme.com/v1/manifest \
  -H "X-API-Key: key_live_XXXX"

{
  "languages": [
    { "code": "en", "name": "English", "iso": "en" }
  ]
}

# Fetch all translations for English
curl https://sapi.i18nme.com/v1/translations/en \
  -H "X-API-Key: key_live_XXXX"

{
  "common": {
    "welcome": "Welcome"
  }
}
