tmserver is a Translation Memory service that can be queried via HTTP using a simple REST like URL/http and data is exchanged between server and client encoded in JSON.
Note
If you are searching for an enterprise Translation Memory server then rather use amaGama.
tmserver.py --bind=HOSTNAME --port=PORT [--tmdb=TMDBFILE] [--import-translation-file=TMFILE [--import-source-lang=SOURCE_LANG] [--import-target-lang=TARGET_LANG]]
Where:
| TMDBFILE | is the SQLite database file containing translation memory data, if not specified a new temporary database is created |
| TMFILE | is a translation file (po, xliff, etc.) that should be imported into the database (mostly useful when no tmdb file is specified). |
Options:
| -h, --help | show this help message and exit |
| -d TMDBFILE, --tmdb=TMDBFILE | |
| translation memory database file | |
| -f TMFILES, --import-translation-file=TMFILES | |
| translation file to import into the database | |
| -t TARGET_LANG, --import-target-lang=TARGET_LANG | |
| target language of translation files | |
| -s SOURCE_LANG, --import-source-lang=SOURCE_LANG | |
| source language of translation files | |
| -b BIND, --bind=BIND | |
| adress to bind server to (default: localhost) | |
| -p PORT, --port=PORT | |
| port to listen on (default: 8888) | |
| --max-candidates=MAX_CANDIDATES | |
| Maximum number of candidates | |
| --min-similarity=MIN_SIMILARITY | |
| minimum similarity | |
| --max-length=MAX_LENGTH | |
| Maxmimum string length | |
| --debug | enable debugging features |
easiest way to run the server for testing is to pass it a large translation file (maybe generated by pocompendium) to create a tmdb database on the fly.
tmserver -b localhost -p 8080 -f compendium.po -s en_US -t ar
The server can be queried using a webbrowser. the url would be:
http://HOST:PORT/tmserver/SOURCE_LANG/TARGET_LANG/unit/STRING
So to see suggestions for “open file” try the url http://localhost:8080/tmserver/en_US/ar/unit/open+file
