# AI Glot documentation

AI Glot translates structured CSV content while preserving the rows, columns and formatting your destination system expects.

[**Use the platform**](/docs/platform/overview)

Upload a CSV, review the detected structure, control what is translated and download the completed file.

[**Integrate the REST API**](/docs/api/overview)

Read account and usage data, manage existing translations and automate glossaries over HTTP.

[**Work from the CLI**](/docs/cli/overview)

Use AI Glot from a terminal, CI job or coding agent with predictable JSON output.

[**Connect an AI agent**](/docs/mcp/overview)

Give ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or another MCP client controlled access to your workspace.

> **Info: What the developer tools can do today**
>
> The web app is currently the only place to upload a CSV and start a translation. The REST API, CLI and MCP can inspect usage and existing translations, download completed files, organise translation history and manage glossaries. They cannot start work or spend credits yet.

## Translate your first CSV

1. **Open a new translation**

   Sign in at [app.ai-glot.com](https://app.ai-glot.com), then choose **New translation**.
2. **Choose the layout and upload**

   Pick the layout closest to your CSV, then drag in a UTF-8 `.csv` file or use the file picker. You can change the layout after analysis.
3. **Review before spending credits**

   AI Glot detects columns and languages. Confirm the source, destination, quality level and estimated credit cost before starting.
4. **Download the completed CSV**

   Follow live progress or leave the page. AI Glot emails you when the result is ready, and the translation stays in your history.
