Translate a file with translate5 language resources

...

URLMethodsParametersDescription

/editor/instanttranslateapi/filepretranslationfilepretranslate

POST

file: multipart/form-data; the file to translate. "0" as field name is deprecated and will not be supported in one of the next transalte5 versions.

source: string; the source language to translate from. Must be valid rfc5646 code.

target: string; the target language to translate to. Must be valid rfc5646 code.

Step 1: Starts a task-import with the file and its pretranslation.

As long as the import is running, the response in step 2 for this file will say "isImporting" instead of returning the download-link. You might need to repeat step 2 until you get the link.

The translated files are available until their configured lifetime is over; then they will be removed automatically.

Response (example): {"taskId":"539"}

/editor/instanttranslateapi/filelistGET

Step 2: Get a list of all pretranslations that are currently available for the InstantTranslate-user including their downloadUrl.

Response: allPretranslatedFiles for tasks with taskId as key .

editor/instanttranslateapi/writetmPOST

The request parameters must be encapsulated in data parameter as json.

ex:

data={"sourceLanguage": "en","targetLanguage": "de","source": "Simple text","target": "Einfacher Text"}

An example call via CURL could look like this:

curl --location --request POST 
'http://t5docker.localdev/editor/instanttranslateapi/writetm' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Translate5AuthToken: {{token}}' \
--form 'data="{\"sourceLanguage\": \"en\",\"targetLanguage\": \"de\",
\"source\": \"Simple text hello\",\"target\": \"Einfacher Text hallo\"}"' 

Auto creation of memory

For each customer and language and language combination provided in the request(see example on the left), one memory will be auto created. And the source and the target content will be saved in those memories. 

Which customers will be used? The assigned customers to all users, not the current user which is making the request, but all available users in translate5 with instantTranslate role.

With the runtimeOptions.InstantTranslate.saveToServices (overwrite on client level) it can be defined which TM memory resources can be used. By default this is disabled on instance level. Currently only available options are t5memory.



Configuration of InstantTranslate

runtimeOptions.LanguageResources.searchCharacterLimitmap
Maximum character per language resource allowed for search. The configuration key is the language resource id, and the value is the character limit. Ex: {{"1": 100},{"2": 300}}
runtimeOptions.InstantTranslate.pretranslationTaskLifetimeDaysint2How many days do you want to keep pretranslated files before the system removes them?
runtimeOptions.InstantTranslate.saveToServicesstring
If value other than "disabled" is selected, instantTranslate translations can be saved in separate TM of the selected type(s) by calling editor/instanttranslateapi/writetm. Currently only OpenTM2 is supported.
runtimeOptions.InstantTranslate.user.defaultLanguagesmap1

Default search languages for instant-translate which will be pre-selected when instant-translate is loaded.
