Can I get a translation quote before committing to a project?

Yes. MotaWord exposes a quote flow that estimates cost and turnaround for a source document and chosen target languages. The returned quote can later be promoted to a real project, so users see cost up front.

What file formats does MotaWord support?

Use GET /formats to retrieve the live list of supported source formats. The endpoint returns the formats MotaWord can ingest for translation, which include common document, subtitle, and structured-content types.

What are the rate limits for the MotaWord API?

MotaWord does not publish hard limits in the spec. Treat token issuance as fair-use per OAuth client and cache the access token for its lifetime instead of re-requesting on every call.

How do I post a translation project through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search 'translate a document with MotaWord', load the project posting operation, and execute it with the source file and target language. Jentic supplies the OAuth token from your vault.

Is the MotaWord API free?

API access is free; charges apply per translation project based on word count, language pair, and turnaround. Use the quote flow to compute cost before posting a project.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the MotaWord API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which MotaWord operations and credentials the agent can use, so you can grant only the calls it needs, such as listing languages, requesting a quote, or posting a project. Since MotaWord carries its targets in the request body and query rather than a fixed resource path, you scope access at the operation level rather than by URL. Sensitive operations like payment submission at /payment stay off unless you explicitly add them. The OAuth client credentials are held by your own instance and exchanged for a short-lived bearer at execution time, so the raw secret never reaches the agent.
