How should my request look for synchronous document translation (Error: The Document field required)

Question

I'm trying to use synchronous document translation but am getting a "The Document field is required" error.

I've included the document as an HTML file sent as a blob in FormData. I also tried adding and removing the query string document param even though I don't really understand the point of a file path since the document itself is in the body, so there's not really path.. I just made one up..

How can I get this to work?

@Joe Petrakovich I think the problem here is with the missing @ in the file path, here is my actual request that worked.

Here is the path format that you have to use for file parameter.

-F "document=@"C:\Users\romungi\margies_faq.docx";type=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"

Final output of my file translated to Spanish:

I think the documentation did not cover the missing @ in the path for document parameter causing this confusion. Please retry with this change and I think it should work for you.

Also, this platform blocks some requests when it thinks the code snippet is malicious, in that case, use the screenshot as you have done above. Thanks!!
