Translation API Cases and Classes

The Translation API Cases and Classes (TAPICC) initiative was a collaborative, community-driven, open-source project to advance API standards in the global language industry. It focused on technical interoperability in the translation tech stack. The goal of this initiative was to provide framework that users could use in integration, automation, and interoperability efforts. The project was driven by volunteers for nearly 3 years and was deprioritized when the global pandemic started in 2020. The GALA Standards Committee is currently discussing the best way to ensure the work carries on. 

Much of the output from TAPICC volunteers lives in a GitHub repository and a Google Drive, for which access is available upon request. Other documents can be found in the links below.
