Brief Overview
The Multi-Language API allows developers to automate translation management — including exporting and importing translations — across multiple environments. It's ideal for large-scale localization or integration with external translation systems.
Access
Access the API from
WalkMe Developer Hub
How It Works
With the API you can:
- Export translations: Retrieve translation files for specific languages or environments
- Import translations: Programmatically upload translated files back into WalkMe
- Automate updates: Use the API to sync translations regularly or integrate with a translation management system (TMS)
This makes it easier to manage translation workflows at scale, especially for enterprise accounts or customers with frequent content updates.
Export through API
- Retrieves all WalkMe items for the selected language, based on environment and status filters
- Includes all WalkMe content, including older Smart Walk-Thrus
- Feature flags (for example, haveOnlyFlow) are not applied when exporting via API — so results may include content not visible in the Console
Export through the Multi-language system
- Filters WalkMe items based on account feature flags
- Example: If the account uses the haveOnlyFlow feature flag, older Smart Walk-Thrus are excluded from export results
- The Console export uses a structured tree view for selecting WalkMe items, ensuring a more precise and controlled export
Note
Because API exports ignore feature flags, they may include additional items that do not appear in manual exports.
