tmserver¶
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.
Usage¶
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
address 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
Testing¶
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
