Migration Process¶
Step 1: Export Existing Assets (30 min)¶
# Export TM from your current tool
# Most tools: File → Export → TMX format
# Save as: translation-memory.tmx
Step 2: Import to Pauhu (15 min)¶
from pauhu import Pauhu
pauhu = Pauhu(api_key="pk_live_...")
# Import Translation Memory
pauhu.tm.import_file(
file="translation-memory.tmx",
name="company-tm",
format="tmx"
)
# Import Term Base
pauhu.tb.import_file(
file="terminology.tbx",
name="company-terms",
format="tbx"
)
print("✅ Assets imported successfully")
Step 3: Update API Calls (1 hour)¶
# Before (MT provider example)
response = requests.post(
"https://api.MT provider.com/v2/translate",
data={"text": text, "target_lang": "FI"}
)
# After (Pauhu)
response = requests.post(
"https://api.pauhu.com/v1/translate",
json={"text": text, "target": "fi"},
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer pk_live_..."}
)
# Same response format, better quality
Step 4: Verify Quality (1 hour)¶
# Run comparison tests
from pauhu import Pauhu
pauhu = Pauhu(api_key="pk_live_...")
test_texts = [
"Your sample text 1",
"Your sample text 2",
# Add 10-20 representative samples
]
for text in test_texts:
result = pauhu.translate(text=text, target="fi")
print(f"Input: {text}")
print(f"Output: {result['text']}")
print(f"Quality: {result['quality_score']}%")
print("---")
