1. General Information
Lionbridge is a global leader in translation, localization, and content services. Its content API enables organizations to programmatically submit content for translation, manage translation jobs, retrieve translated content, and track the status of localization workflows. Lionbridge integrates with enterprise CMS, DAM, and PIM platforms to automate multilingual content delivery at scale.
The OneTeg LionBridge Connector integrates with the Lionbridge Content API and enables users to build automated workflows for submitting content for translation, managing translation jobs, and retrieving localized content directly from the OneTeg flow builder.
2. Connect LionBridge to OneTeg
The LionBridge Connector supports three authentication methods — OAuth (Client Credentials), Bearer Token, and API Key. The OAuth Client Credentials method is recommended for production integrations as it handles token management automatically. Follow the steps below to obtain your credentials.
Step 1 - Obtain Your LionBridge API Credentials
Contact your LionBridge account manager or the LionBridge support team to request API access for your organization. They will provide you with a Client ID and Client Secret for OAuth authentication, or an API Key depending on your integration requirements. Store all credentials securely.
You can verify your Client ID and Client Secret by making a test token request to https://login.lionbridge.com/connect/token using the Client Credentials grant type. A successful response will return an access_token that can be used to authenticate API requests.
3. Connection Settings and Configuration for OneTeg
In OneTeg, navigate to Connections and create a new connection using the LionBridge Connector. The connector supports three authentication methods — OAuth (Client Credentials), Bearer Token, and API Key. Choose the one that best fits your setup.
Option 1 — OAuth Client Credentials
OneTeg authenticates as a client application using the Client ID and Secret, with tokens managed automatically.

Option 2 - Bearer Token Authentication
Use this method if you have a pre-existing LionBridge access token obtained externally. LionBridge access tokens expire after 1 hour — you will need to manually update the token when it expires, making this method less suitable for long-running automations.
