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
tmserver.py --bind=HOSTNAME --port=PORT [--tmdb=TMDBFILE] [--import-translation-file=TMFILE [--import-source-lang=SOURCE_LANG] [--import-target-lang=TARGET_LANG]]
TMDBFILE is the sqlite database file containing tmdb 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 |
-f TMFILES, --import-translation-file=TMFILE | 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=HOSTNAME | adress to bind server to |
-p PORT, --port=PORT | port to listen on |
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
