## Use Cases

### Conversational translation management

Claude Desktop is ideal for managing translations through natural language:

```
What's the status of all my translation orders? Show me any that
are completed and ready for download.
```

### Upload and translate files

```
Upload this video from https://example.com/training-video.mp4 with
source language English. Then create subtitle translation orders
for French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
```

### Review and iterate on translations

```
Get the details for order #12345. Run a QC evaluation checking
accuracy, fluency, and tone. If there are issues with the French
translation at timestamp 02:15:30, create a revision request.
```

### Project overview

```
Show me all my Ollang projects. For the "Marketing Q1" project,
list all associated orders and their current statuses.
```

### Translation guidelines

```
Create a custom instruction called "Legal Documents" with the following
guidelines: "Use formal register. Preserve legal terminology in the
source language with translations in parentheses. Do not simplify
complex sentence structures."
```
