Example

from sarvamai import SarvamAI
client = SarvamAI(api_subscription_key="YOUR_SARVAM_API_KEY")
job = client.document_translation.create(
    job_name="service-agreement-hi",
    source_language_code="en-IN",
    target_language_codes=["hi-IN"],
    original_filename="service-agreement.pdf",
    genre="LEGAL",
)

Request body equivalent:

{
  "job_name": "service-agreement-hi",
  "source_language_code": "en-IN",
  "target_language_codes": ["hi-IN"],
  "original_filename": "service-agreement.pdf",
  "genre": "LEGAL"
}
