## Overview

<Callout type="info">
  This is the **internal** type used by the library. The user-facing type passed to [`enqueueFiles`](/docs/core/class/methods/translation/enqueue-files) is `EnqueueOptions`, which is a subset of this type.
</Callout>

`EnqueueFilesOptions` is the full internal configuration type for batch file translation operations.

```typescript
type EnqueueFilesOptions = {
  requireApproval?: boolean;
  description?: string;
  sourceLocale?: string;
  targetLocales: string[];
  version?: string;
  _versionId?: string;
  timeout?: number;
  modelProvider?: string;
  force?: boolean;
};
```

## Properties

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `requireApproval?` | `boolean` | No | Require approval workflow |
| `description?` | `string` | No | Job description |
| `sourceLocale?` | `string` | No | Source locale override |
| `targetLocales` | `string[]` | **Yes** | Target locale codes |
| `version?` | `string` | No | Version identifier |
| `_versionId?` | `string` | No | Internal version ID (used by the library) |
| `timeout?` | `number` | No | Request timeout (ms) |
| `modelProvider?` | `string` | No | Translation model provider |
| `force?` | `boolean` | No | Force reprocessing |

## Examples

### Basic usage

```typescript copy
import { GT, EnqueueFilesOptions } from 'generaltranslation';

const options: EnqueueFilesOptions = {
  targetLocales: ['es', 'fr', 'de'],
  requireApproval: true
};

const result = await gt.enqueueFiles(files, options);
```

### Development vs production

```typescript copy
// Development
const devOptions: EnqueueFilesOptions = {
  targetLocales: ['es'],
  requireApproval: false
};

// Production  
const prodOptions: EnqueueFilesOptions = {
  targetLocales: ['es', 'fr', 'de', 'ja'],
  requireApproval: true,
  modelProvider: 'premium'
};
```
