The old Sandbox UI<\/em><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nThe Gengo API Sandbox is a testing environment designed to provide a space for developers to test their API integrations before ordering real translations and hence avoid spending real money!\r\n\r\nThe updated sandbox has a sleek new user interface based on our mobile-friendly style guide<\/a>. We\u2019ve also streamlined the process of taking actions on jobs to simulate the translation process\u2014what used to take three clicks now only takes one.\r\n\r\n

Actions which can be taken on an individual job<\/em><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nIn addition to these changes, we\u2019ve fixed a number of old bugs that could sometimes cause issues when updating account preferences.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe hope the new sandbox will make it even easier to integrate with Gengo<\/a> and help you begin ordering translations at scale.\r\n\r\n
