Adobe Express Translate Connectors
Build native service integrations for Adobe Express using a declarative, manifest-driven connector framework. Connect your translation service directly into Adobe Express workflows without building a panel or UI from scratch.
Adobe Express Translate Connectors integrate third-party services directly into native Adobe Express features. You configure your integration through the Connector Playground, which generates a manifest.json that Adobe Express uses to render the UI and route API calls to your service. Connectors do not require a panel or custom UI code.
Adobe Express currently supports Translate connectors, which power the Translate feature in Adobe Express. Translate connectors are available only to Adobe Express users signed in with an enterprise account.

Before you start: check your account access
Enterprise Adobe accounts with a Developer or Administrator role get the Connector Playground and submission for private share links and internal listings by default. Personal Adobe accounts, and public listing for any account type, require approval through the Connector interest form first, as shown below.
See Account access at a glance for the complete access table and the exceptions to keep in mind.
