Interpret
Identify the message type, required fields and source-system assumptions.
Translator development
Make structured messages understandable across systems.
The Interlayer translator is the software direction behind our integration work: interpret a source message, apply an agreed mapping, and produce the representation required by a receiving system.
Translator capabilities are evaluated through scoped engagements. Supported formats, message versions, deployment options and production readiness must be confirmed for the proposed flow. This page does not offer self-service onboarding or claim universal format support.
Map and validate
Apply explicit mappings and agreed checks. Report missing or incompatible values rather than silently inventing information.
Deliver
Produce a target representation and document the transformation for review.
Illustrative example
One payment instruction, two representations.
This manually prepared example uses synthetic data to explain a possible mapping. It is not output from a live translator, an ISO 20022 message, or a claim of standards conformity.
Source-system representation
{
"instruction_id": "DEMO-001",
"amount": "125.00",
"currency": "GBP",
"recipient_reference": "TEST-RECIPIENT"
}Illustrative target representation
{
"payment": {
"reference": "DEMO-001",
"instructed_amount": {
"value": "125.00",
"currency": "GBP"
},
"recipient": "TEST-RECIPIENT"
}
}The example renames and groups fields while retaining their values. A real integration also needs schema definitions, business rules, validation, exception handling and agreed message versions.
Financial-message scope
ISO 20022-related work must identify specific message definitions and versions. JSON is a representation format; a JSON payload alone does not establish ISO 20022 conformity.
Any engagement-specific JSON representation must have a documented schema and mapping.
Deployment and data handling
The deployment model is agreed for each engagement. Access, logging, retention and operational responsibilities must be defined for any environment that processes message data.
