Quick Start

Connect your AI assistant to Ollang’s translation platform in three steps.

Prerequisites

  • An Ollang account (free to sign up)
  • An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor)

Setup

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:
open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Add the Ollang MCP server:
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ollang": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ollang.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes.

Authenticate

When your AI client first connects to the Ollang MCP server, it will open a browser window for authentication.

Your First Translation

Upload this video from https://example.com/video.mp4 and create a subtitle
translation order to French and Spanish.
The assistant will:
  1. Call uploadFile to upload the video to Ollang
  2. Call createOrder with subtitle type and French + Spanish targets
  3. Return the order details and status

Example Prompts

Upload my-document.pdf from Dropbox and translate it to German, Japanese, and Korean.
Show me all my recent Ollang orders and their statuses.
Run a QC evaluation on order #12345 checking accuracy and fluency.
Create a custom instruction called "Tech Docs Style" that says:
Use formal tone, keep technical terms in English, and use metric units.
Download and read the subtitles from this VTT file URL and check for any issues.
