POST - creating a new or importing an existing filebased binary OpenTM2 TM

The Parameter „name“ contains the TM Name as a string. The string has a maxlength of 256 chars. It can contain any characters except the characters backslash (\), slash(/), colon (:), question mark (?), asterisk (*), vertical line (|), less than sign (<), and greater than sign (>).

Uploading a file is optional, omitting a file means creating a empty TM only.

If an empty TM is created, the POST request contains only the JSON structure with the TM Name.

If an existing binary OpenTM2 file should be additionally imported to the new TM, the POST must be encoded as multipart/form-data.

The JSON structure with the meta data will then be in the first chunk of the multiparted request, the chunk must be named “meta”.

The second chunk contains the plain binary file content and must be named “data”. This binary data contains the TM content

The resulting body contains the name of the TM, as given in the POST request.

To OpenTM2 – without data / creating an empty TM:

{

sourceLang: “en”, // the source language is required for a new TM

name: „TM Name“,

[loggingThreshold:"2"]

}



Raw POST to OpenTM2 – with provided import file:

POST http://opentm2/translationmemory HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="autogenerated"

-- autogenerated
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=meta

{"name":"TM Name", sourceLang:"en"}

--autogenerated
Content-Type: image/jpeg
Content-Disposition: form-data; name=data; filename=Original Filename.jpg
...TM content ...
--autogenerated--

In both cases from OpenTM2 - HTTP 200 OK:

{

name: „TM Name“

}

Errors:
400 Bad Request – if parameters are missing or are not well formed.
409 Conflict – if a memory with the given name already exists.
500 Server Error – for other technical problems.
http://opentm2/translationmemory/[TM_Name]/import

POST import a TMX file into an existing OpenTM2 TM

To OpenTM2:

multipart/form-data like on POST above, expect that no separate JSON section is needed here.

Call answers directly after the upload is done, but before the import starts with HTTP 201 – this means: Import is created and will be started now.

From OpenTM2 - HTTP 201 OK:

{ // empty JSON object, since no data expected as result here!

}

Errors:

400 Bad Request – if parameters are missing or are not well formed.

404 Not Found – if the memory of the given name does not exist

500 Server Error – for other technical problems.

http://opentm2/translationmemory/[TM_Name]/status

GET status of a TM

To OpenTM2:

multipart/form-data like on POST above, expect that no separate JSON section is needed here.

From OpenTM2 - HTTP 200 OK:

{

‘status’:’import’ //allowed status values: import, available, error

}

Errors:

400 Bad Request – if parameters are missing or are not well formed.

404 Not Found – if the memory of the given name does not exist

500 Server Error – for other technical problems.

http://opentm2/translationmemory/

GET – retrieving a list of available TM Files

To OpenTM2: -

From OpenTM2 - HTTP 200 OK:

[{

name: 'my nice TM'

}]

Errors:

500 Server Error – for other technical problems.

http://opentm2/translationmemory/[TM_Name]/

TM_Name is URL-encoded

GET – retrieving a single TM File

To OpenTM2: -

From OpenTM2 - HTTP 200 OK:

Same as POST from OpenTM2 result.

Errors:

404 Not Found – if TM file to given [TMID] in URL was not found

500 Server Error – for other technical problems.

DELETE – deletes an existing TM File

Adressed by the given URL, no body needed.

Errors:

404 Not Found – if TM file to given [TMID] in URL was not found

500 Server Error – for other technical problems.

PUT – updating an existing TM File in one request

Currently not needed, would be only to change the TM name

GET – list of all segments from TM

Currently not needed.

http://opentm2/translationmemory/[TM_Name]/entry/

POST – creates a new entry or updates target entry if match pair already exists

This method updates an existing proposal when a proposal with the same key information (source text, language, segment number, and document name) exists.

Parameters sourceLang and targetLang are containing the languages as RFC5646.

Parameters source and target are containing the entry contents to be stored. Format? plain string?

Attribute Parameters:

documentName: contains the filename where the segment resides in Translate5.

context: evaluates to Translate5 segment mid.

markupTable: OpenTM2 gets a new markup table named „translate5“, so this is the value which is delivered by Translate5.

timestamp: this parameter is not set by translate5, but calculated automatically and delivered from OpenTM2 to translate5.

author: contains the named user which provides the update / new entry

In addition there are the following OpenTM2 Attributes currently not used by translate5:

segmentNumber

additional info

type

To OpenTM2:

{

sourceLang: 'de',

targetLang: 'en',

source: „Das ist das Haus des Nikolaus“,

target: „This is the house of St. Nicholas“,

documentName: 'my file.sdlxliff',

segmentNumber: ,

markupTable: 'translate5',

author: „Thomas Lauria“,

type: '',

timeStamp: '',

context: '123',

addInfo: '',

[loggingThreshold:"2"]

}

The result from the server contains the same data as posted to the server. No additonal ID is added, since the entries are identified by the whole source string instead by an ID, only the timestamp is added.

From OpenTM2 – HTTP 200 OK:

{

sourceLang: 'de',

targetLang: 'en',

source: „Das ist das Haus des Nikolaus“,

target: „This is the house of St. Nicholas“,

documentName: 'my file.sdlxliff',

segmentNumber: 123,

markupTable: 'translate5',

timestamp: '2015-05-12 13:46:12',

author: „Thomas Lauria“

}

Errors:

404 Not Found – if TM file to given [TM_Name] in URL was not found

500 Server Error – for other technical problems.

400 Bad Request – if JSON parameters are missing or are not well formed.

concordancesearch /?

POST – Performs a context search of the given search string in the proposals contained in a memory. Returns one proposal per request.

To OpenTM2:

{

searchString: 'Haus des Nikolaus',

searchType: 'source', // values can be source or target

searchPosition: 123// can be empty; Position where a search should start in the memory, see below

numResults: 1,

msSearchAfterNumResults: 100 //number of milliseconds the search will continue, after the first result is found. All additional results that are found in this additional time will also be returned until numResults is reached. If numResults is reached before msSearchAfterNumResults is reached, the search will abort. If msSearchAfterNumResults is reached before numResults is reached, search is also aborted. All found results are delivered in both cases.
