README

This Translation Server aims to provide a very easy, intuitive and fast way of adding new translations in your projects, following the Symfony Standards, and using the console as interface.

Install

Install Translation Server in this way:

$ composer global require mmoreram/translation-server=dev-master

If it is the first time you globally install a dependency then make sure you include ~/.composer/vendor/bin in $PATH as shown here.

Always keep your Translation Server installation up to date:

$ composer global update mmoreram/translation-server

.phar file

You can also use already last built .phar.

$ git clone git@github.com:mmoreram/translation-server.git
$ cd translation-server
$ php build/translation-server.phar

You can copy the .phar file as a global script

$ cp build/translation-server.phar /usr/local/bin/translation-server

Compile

Finally you can also compile your own version of the package. ( You need set phar.readonly = Off in your php.ini ).

$ git clone git@github.com:mmoreram/translation-server.git
$ cd translation-server
$ composer update
$ php bin/compile
$ sudo chmod +x build/translation-server.phar
$ build/translation-server.phar

You can copy the .phar file as a global script

$ cp build/translation-server.phar /usr/local/bin/translation-server

Config

If your project wants to provide support for this project, make sure you place the definition about where are your translations, your master language and what languages do you support in a file called .translation.yml.

This file has this format (no needs to explain it, right? ^^)

master_language: en
languages:
    - en
    - es
    - ca
    - fr
    - de
    - it
    - fi
    - eu
    - gl
    - eo
    - nl
paths:
    - src/Folder/*/Resources/translations

you can also define where to search the .translation.yml file using the --config|-c option

$ translation-server translation:server:view --config="src/"

Translations statics

You can see all your translation statics by using this command. Without any extra configuration, you will be able to see statics of all the project.

$ translation-server translation:server:view

Filtering by language

You can filter all results by language using the option [--language|-l] in all your commands. This is just a mask, so if you define one or more language, will simply mask all results provided to you.

$ translation-server translation:server:view --language es -l ca

[Trans Server] Command started at Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:54:09 +0200
[Trans Server] Translations for [en] is 100% completed. 0 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [ca] is 99.57% completed. 4 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [es] is 99.57% completed. 4 missing
[Trans Server] Command finished in 917 milliseconds
[Trans Server] Max memory used: 13893632 bytes

As you can see, you can provide several languages

Filtering by domain

You can filter all results by domain using the option [--domain|-d] in all your commands. This is just a mask, so if you define one or more domains, will simply mask all results provided to you.

$ translation-server translation:server:view --domain routes

[Trans Server] Command started at Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:56:16 +0200
[Trans Server] Translations for [de] is 100% completed. 0 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [en] is 100% completed. 0 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [ca] is 100% completed. 0 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [es] is 100% completed. 0 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [eo] is 0% completed. 38 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [nl] is 0% completed. 38 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [gl] is 0% completed. 38 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [it] is 0% completed. 38 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [fr] is 0% completed. 38 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [fi] is 0% completed. 38 missing
[Trans Server] Translations for [eu] is 0% completed. 38 missing
[Trans Server] Command finished in 842 milliseconds
[Trans Server] Max memory used: 13369344 bytes

You can provide as well several domains, even mix languages and domains.

Asking for new translations

The power of this tool is that, just telling what language you'd like to work with, the tool will ask you interactively some translations.

Let's see an example. In that case we will ask some translations in Basque, but we only want to add routing translations, marked with the domain routes.

$ translation-server translation:server:add --language eu --domain routes

[Trans Server] Command started at Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:59:43 +0200
[Trans Server] Language : eu
[Trans Server] Key : store_cart_nav
[Trans Server] Original : /cart/nav
[Trans Server] Translation : []

At this point, the prompt will wait for your response here. As soon as you have introduced your translation, just press Enter and your translation will be stored in it's place.

This means that if a new file must be created in order to store your translation, for example if you are creating a new language, the process will create it.

$ translation-server translation:server:add --language eu --domain routes

[Trans Server] Command started at Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:59:43 +0200
[Trans Server] Language : eu
[Trans Server] Key : store_cart_nav
[Trans Server] Original : /cart/nav
[Trans Server] Translation : /saskia/nab

[Trans Server] Command started at Thu, 08 Oct 2015 01:00:25 +0200
[Trans Server] Language : eu
[Trans Server] Key : store_checkout_address
[Trans Server] Original : /cart/address
[Trans Server] Translation : []

As soon as the value is saved, the system will ask for another translation. As long as you don't press Ctrl+C, the system will do it once and again.

Guessing missing translations

For lazy people, you can even translate your site using Google Translate. Of course we strongly recommend you to use this feature carefully, with a post checking of the results.

$ translation-server translation:server:guess --language eu

[Trans Server] Command started at Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:59:43 +0200
[Trans Server] Language : eu
[Trans Server] Key : store_cart_nav
[Trans Server] Original : /cart/nav
[Trans Server] Translation : /saskia/nab

The command will start guessing your missing translations until you decide to stop with Ctrl+C.

This project uses the library Stichoza/google-translate-php. Easy and simple. Big kudos!

Of course, you can filter by language and domain.

Sorting your translations

You can sort all your translations as well, just using this great command.

$ translation-server translation:server:sort

[Trans Server] Command started at Thu, 08 Oct 2015 01:06:15 +0200
[Trans Server] Your translations have been sorted successfuly
[Trans Server] Command finished in 1288 milliseconds
[Trans Server] Max memory used: 13631488 bytes

Again, you can filter by language and domain.
