Smartling Files API

Files are typically how you can exchange your content with Smartling to get translations. Smartling supports a wide variety of [file types](https://help.smartling.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007998893). When you upload a file to Smartling, it gets parsed into strings, which will then be sent into the translation queue. The complete list of supported file types is available [here](https://help.smartling.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007998893). For information on file directives, please refer to the documentation for each specific file type.
