# Register jobs for later use

Registers one or more uploaded or externally hosted file URLs as Lingopal media/document records. This endpoint records source metadata only; processing inputs such as target languages and translation context are supplied later through the appropriate `/v2/jobs/{job_id}` workflow endpoint. Per-item failures are returned in the `results` array with `status="error"`.
