    Abstract: A translation service is used to modify service requests by translating client-provided external identifiers for objects into canonical identifiers for the objects (e.g., an identifier used by the service to uniquely identify the one or more objects). The translation service first receives specification data for a particular service. The specification data includes information for translating external identifiers for one or more objects to canonical identifiers for the one or more objects. The translation service instantiates a translation layer for the particular service, based on the received specification data. The translation layer receives a request directed to the particular service, translates the external object identifiers to canonical object identifiers, adds the canonical object identifiers to the request, and forwards the request to the particular service. The translation layer may also remove one or more of the external object identifiers from the request before sending to the particular service (for data isolation).
