> Automate translation workflows by combining Ollang MCP with Airtable for project tracking and content management.

# Ollang MCP + Airtable

<Warning>
  The Airtable MCP Server is a third-party project and is not developed, maintained, or affiliated with Ollang or Airtable. Please exercise caution when connecting to any third-party MCP server and review its source code and permissions before use.
</Warning>

Combine the [Airtable MCP Server](https://github.com/domdomegg/airtable-mcp-server) with Ollang MCP to build automated translation pipelines powered by your Airtable bases.

## Why Airtable + Ollang?

Airtable is widely used for managing localization projects, tracking translation progress, and organizing multilingual content. By connecting both MCP servers, your AI assistant can:

* Pull content from Airtable records and submit it to Ollang for translation
* Track translation order statuses and update Airtable automatically
* Manage glossaries and translation memories stored in Airtable
* Create new Airtable records with translated content

## Setup

Add both MCP servers to your configuration:

The Airtable MCP server provides these tools:

| Tool             | Description                          |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `list_bases`     | List all accessible Airtable bases   |
| `list_tables`    | List tables in a base                |
| `list_records`   | List records with optional filtering |
| `search_records` | Search records by field values       |
| `create_record`  | Create a new record                  |
| `update_records` | Update existing records              |

## Example Workflows

### Batch translate content from Airtable

```
Look at my "Product Descriptions" table in Airtable. For each record where
the "Status" field is "Ready for Translation", take the "English Description"
field, upload it to Ollang as a document, and create a translation order
for French and German. Update the Airtable record with the Ollang order ID.
```

### Track translation progress

```
Check all my Ollang orders and update the corresponding Airtable records
in the "Translations" table with the current order status.
```

### Build a glossary from translations

```
Search my Airtable "Glossary" base for all approved terms, create a custom
instruction in Ollang with those terms, and use it for future translations.
```
