{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Request - Be able to translate large XML documents","articleBody":"I translate lots of XML files. The only way to effectively translate XML files today is to use **translate_text** with the 'xml' option.\n\nIt would be extremely helpful to be able to have call like **translate_document** that is able to upload the document is parts then translates the document and assembles the returned document correctly.\n\nThe API call translate_text is only able to upload and translate a rather rather small piece of text (128Kb). \n\nTranslating large amounts of XML files then becomes cumbersome when many of the files exceed the file size that translate_text can handle.\n\nIs this something that is on the roadmap? Otherwise it would be helpful to hear what other people are doing.\n\nPerhaps I do need to write a piece of software that splits larger XML files into logical pieces and the assembles them after translation. It is just something I would rather not do.\n\nThanks","author":{"url":"https://github.com/matsbert","@type":"Person","name":"matsbert"},"datePublished":"2025-09-01T12:49:44.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/144/deepl-python/issues/144"}
