List all my Smartling projects.

I've retrieved your projects. You have access to 'Mobile App Localization' (ID: a1b2c3d4) and 'Web Platform' (ID: e5f6g7h8). Which one would you like to manage?

Create a new translation job called 'Spring Release' in project a1b2c3d4.

The job 'Spring Release' has been successfully created in project a1b2c3d4 with UID 'job_98765'. You can now start adding content to it.

Download the French translation for 'strings.json' from project a1b2c3d4.

I've downloaded the 'fr-FR' version of 'strings.json'. The content is ready for use. Would you like me to display the translated strings?

Yes! When using the `upload_file` tool, set the `authorize` parameter to true. This will automatically authorize the content for translation in your project.
