Language Weaver SDK in java and Spring conflict

Romain Dénarié — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 17:08:49 GMT

I'm trying to use Language Weaver Java SDK, last version (3.1.1, from march 2023)

My application have dependencies on Spring, in a newer version from the one in the SDK, which generates conflict at startup.

Is there a newer version of the SDK, with a more recent version of Spring, or without the dependency on Spring ?

Thanks for your reply

Blank values sending data to the API

Chris Williams — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 16:50:43 GMT

When I use the API to send an array of strings to translate, some of the values are blank (i.e. contain no value). This appears to throw a translation error. However using the Portal blank values are accepted. How can I translate an input with empty values (i.e., "one", "two", "", "three")

API Access

Chris Williams — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 20:34:49 GMT

How do I determine what Language Weaver subscription level I have? I want to find out if I have access to the Language Weaver API for accessing your cloud services. According to the Language Weaver documentation:

In order to get started developing on the cloud-based Language Weaver API, you need to create an account by visiting https://portal.languageweaver.com and signing up to plan that supports API integration. Once there, you can access your API credentials from the settings in your account.

If you’re already a Language Weaver customer with a valid subscription, you can manage your API credentials from https://portal.languageweaver.com/settings/api-credentials .

I'm a Language Weaver customer but how do I determine if I have a plan that supports API Integration.

Language Weaver Edge - Using it locally to integrate it with Docker

Ben Ha — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 18:45:19 GMT

Hey guys! Hope you're doing well.

Read this today in your docs:

"Language Weaver Edge (formerly known as SDL Machine Translation Edge) 8 features a REST API that exposes the functionality of Edge to any HTTP client. It uses predictable, resource-oriented URLs as well as standard HTTP verbs and response codes. CORS is supported, allowing client-side web applications to make cross-domain AJAX requests to the API. The majority of the endpoints return JSON, while a few return a base64-encoded string or XML.

The REST API is served on the controller host at its own port. To find out the API server host and port, log in to the Language Weaver Edge Web GUI as an admin user and click to [Username] > My Account. For the purposes of this documentation, we will reference an example server running at the host controller-host and port 8001, with HTTPS enabled, so the base URL for the REST API will be:

https://controller-host:8001/

Throughout the documentation, we will be using curl as our HTTP client to illustrate various interactions with the REST API. Keep in mind that, regardless of HTTP client, it is always a good idea to url-encode data that will be consumed by the API to ensure the integrity of the requests."

My question is simple - is it possible to use the Language Weaver Edge service locally? I mean, something like a `docker` container.

I would like to know this because we're trying to integrate this service with a Golang processing application running on a docker container.

Thanks in advance!

Using Language Weaver - Automated Web Page Translation

Kevan Stranges — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 15:13:05 GMT

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to integrate Language Weaver to translate web pages on the fly similar to the Google translate feature?

Essentially something I can send as HTML, receive back and then just replace into the webpage, avoiding html classes like "no-translation" or something along those lines?

If so, is there example JS to support this API?

Thanks

Kevan

Language Weaver - Reporting via the API?

Kris Gormley — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:54:50 GMT

Hi all,

Based on a customer question, I created a very brief article explaining that exposing reporting data in our Language Weaver API is currently planned for January 2022.
