To change the video's translation status back to "being translated" through the API, you need to ensure that you are using the correct endpoint URL and HTTP method. Check if `PUT` is the right method, or try `PATCH` if necessary. Make sure your API request includes all the required authentication headers and that the body content is correctly formatted according to the API documentation, including any other required information besides `"work_stage": "subtitles"`. If everything still doesn't work, it's best to contact the API support team for more specific assistance.

Hello, I am looking for a solution how to change a video's translation status back to "being translated". A translator mistakenly endorsed their translation, and the work_status now is "needs-review".
I thought I'd use API to get it back to the "subtitles" status, through Update a request endpoint. I tried with only `"work_stage": "subtitles"` in the body, then also with the translator's name: `"subtitler": "AneteV". But those PUT API calls have zero effect: get just a http 301 response, reditect to the job's respective GET endpoint.
In the sites UI, however, changing the status works just fine:
- I find the video, click on the "Manage requests" action,
- find the language, click on the "Edit" action,
- change the state to "Translation",
- confirm the changes by clicking the "Update" button.
Now the API subtitle request JSON shows `"work_status": "being-subtitled"`. This is my intended result I'd wished to achieve through API request. Please clarify what would be the correct way of API use to achieve what I wanted.
