Response
A successful first execution returns HTTP 200 with the operation result under data. A replay may return saved request state instead. The example shows one supported response, not every optional field. Returns one authorized language-work projection and its public versions.{

Operation notes
- workId must belong to projectId and have the same stored project owner.
- pendingSegmentIndexes lists text still needing translation; it is separate from the segment action queue.
- Stored failures return VoiceCheap error codes and fixed messages. Use the code and current resource state to decide how to recover.
Usage
Each successful invocation consumes one monthly API/MCP call. Media credits and the operation’s own generation allowances also apply.Errors
| HTTP status | Code | Meaning or recovery |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | CREDENTIAL_IN_QUERY | Credentials were supplied in an access_token or api_key query parameter. Send credentials in headers. |

| 401 | API_KEY_EXPIRED | The API key has expired. |
| 401 | INVALID_API_KEY | Provide a valid, unexpired API key. |
| 401 | INVALID_CREDENTIAL | The Authorization header is malformed or conflicts with x-api-key. |
| 401 | MISSING_CREDENTIAL | No usable header credential was supplied, or it exceeded 4096 characters. |
| 401 | USER_NOT_FOUND | The credential’s account no longer exists. |
| 403 | AMBIGUOUS_TEAM_API_KEY | The credential’s user belongs to more than one team, so the billing context is ambiguous. |
| 403 | FORBIDDEN | The authenticated actor cannot access this project. |
| 403 | INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE | Grant every required permission or choose another credential. |
| 403 | INTEGRATION_PLAN_UNSUPPORTED | The account’s integration limits could not be verified. |

| 403 | TEAM_OWNER_NOT_FOUND | The effective team owner account could not be found. |
| 404 | PROJECT_NOT_FOUND | The project does not exist in the accessible account. |
| 404 | TRANSLATION_NOT_FOUND | workId does not identify a language work owned by this project. |
| 429 | INTEGRATION_MONTHLY_LIMIT_REACHED | Wait for the monthly reset or change plan. |
| 429 | INTEGRATION_RATE_LIMIT_REACHED | Wait for Retry-After when present and use backoff. |
| 500 | INTERNAL_ERROR | Check saved request state and resource history before deciding to retry a mutation. |
| 503 | SERVER_RESTARTING | The server is restarting. Retry shortly and keep the same request identifier for a mutation. |
