This project is about writing a standalone TM server.
This project has been implemented, and was released with version 1.3 of the Translate Toolkit, and integrated into Virtaal version 0.3. Many further developments remain possible - feel free to get involved with this exciting project.
Rationale
- It is probably easier to implement for Virtaal than messing with multiple threads
- It is useful for both Virtaal and Pootle
- It allows single shared TM server between different Pootle/Virtaal instances
Design
- Tiny http server (using wsig)
- Exchanges messages using JSON
Tasks
build very basic that can be tested with a webbrowserbasic server can respond to a single TM query at a timeimplement TM update featurebuild a skeleton GTK test application to experiment with different queue and timing options(Not in version control, ask Alaa if you are interested)- scale to many consecutive requests (done?)
build virtaal MVC module
Future
- Ignoring some placeables to provide better matches
- Accepting rich strings in the API
- Providing rich strings
- More meta-data for stored translations
- TMX export
