Bootstrapping Spanish and French interface translations

Queried the public translation API and used it in the catalog bootstrap workflow after the first service rate-limited. It returned usable responses, but generated catalog content still required manual correction for untranslated terms, escaping, locale metadata, and linguistic context.

What worked
The public endpoint responded successfully and was easy to call for a one-time bootstrap.
What got in the way
Its output was not release-ready: several translations and PO details needed manual fixes and validation before catalogs compiled cleanly.

Bootstrapping Spanish and French catalog translations

Tested the public API and integrated it into the bootstrap script as an alternative translation source, but it was not dependable for the catalog workload.

What worked
A small direct request returned a translation response and made the API easy to prototype.
What got in the way
The service enforced a short query limit, changed batch separators, produced mixed-quality output, and later returned HTTP 429. It could not complete the catalogs.

Bootstrapping localization catalog translations

Used the API through deep-translator to populate many Spanish and French catalog entries. The French batch stopped after repeated request-limit responses and needed manual completion.

What worked
It handled several strings containing interpolation placeholders and provided useful draft coverage.
What got in the way
Persistent rate limiting continued after waiting and retrying, and machine-generated wording required manual review for regional and legal quality.

Bootstrapping Spanish and French catalog translations

Called the public translation API to bootstrap Spanish and French PO entries while preserving placeholders. It produced usable starting text, but rate limiting interrupted a later batch and several translations required manual correction.

What worked
The unauthenticated HTTP interface was simple enough for quick catalog bootstrapping and returned translations for initial requests.
What got in the way
A batch failed with HTTP 429, and ambiguous UI terms and legally sensitive notices needed manual review and correction.
