Localization is hard

There are many standards, but little guidance.

“

Every i18n framework has its own “right way” of doing things, with a different syntax and file format.

Developers often hack together their own solutions to try and simplify the process.

No universality in the current standards

Extract content into files

Upload files to a TMS or an LSP

Wait... Download translated files

Put translations back in your app

Repeat when new content is added or changed

BOTTLENECKFile management is a

File Management● Not DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)

● Requires content extraction, sync with a TMS or an LSP

● Mini “waterfalls” in the agile process

● Slows down development cycle and releases

● High upfront cost and maintenance

How can we make itBETTER FOR EVERYONE


What would an ideal solution look like?

● ConsistencyProvide tools that offer a clear and

consistent way for internationalizing

content across all frameworks

● AdaptabilityTools must be extensible and adaptable

and should be able to solve any arising

internationalization and localization

problem

● ContextualizationAllow translators to translate in context

from within the application

● AgilityKeep the development cycle agile -

localization must not add significant

overhead for developers - it must be done

in parallel to the development process

A Better WayAn integrated and truly automated continuous localization

Core Benefits of TML SDK


Getting Started


"require": { "translationexchange/tml": "3.2.12"}

Integration

// composer.json


Configuration

// app/Http/Middleware/Tml.php

public function handle($request, Closure $next) { tml_init([

"key" => "YOUR_APP_KEY",“cache” => [...]

]);return $next($request);

}

public function terminate($request, $response) { tml_complete_request();}


Configuration

// app/Http/Kernel.php

protected $middleware = [...

\App\Http\Middleware\Tml::class,...

];


Configuration

// resources/views/layouts/application.blade.php

// enable scripts

{!! tml_scripts_tag() !!}

// optionally, add default language selector

{!! tml_language_selector_tag("sideflags") !!}


Internationalization

// wrap strings with the tr method{!! tr("Hello World") !!}

// use interpolation{!! tr("Hello {user}", ["user" => "Michael"]) !!}

// and many other features of TML syntax...{!! tr("You have {count || message}", ["count" => 5]) !!}


Translation Markup Language● Developer friendly syntax for marking up application text.

● Supports language context rules and language cases, making translations accurate for any language.


TML for Laravel Basics

Hello World

“tr” method is available in Rails, PHP, Java, Obj C, Python, Javascript, Node.JS, Ember, Angular, etc...

{!! tr('Hello World') !!}

Descriptions

tr('Eats shoots and leaves', 'a panda')

Eats shoots and leaves

tr('Eats shoots and leaves', 'a violent restaurant patron')

Interpolation

tr('Hello {name}', ['name' => 'John'])

Hello John

Decoration Tokens

tr('Hello [bold: World]', ['bold’ => '<strong>{$0}</strong>'])

Hello WorldWorld

Decoration Tokens

tr('Hello <indent>World</indent>', ['indent’ => '<strong>{$0}</strong>'])

tr('Hello <strong>World</strong>')

Hello WorldWorld

or

Decoration Tokens

tr('Hello <link>World</link>', ['link’ => [‘href’ => ‘www.google.com’]])

link: ‘<a href=”{$href}”>{$0}</a>’

Hello WorldWorld

where link is a default decoration defined as

Reusing Decoration Tokens in Other Frameworks (Obj C)

TMLLocalizedString('Hello <bold>World</bold>', @{ @”bold”: @{ @"font": [UIFont fontWithName:@"ChalkboardSE-Bold" size:14]

}})

iOS Uses Native Decoration Methods

Hello WorldWorld

tr('[link1: {user}] completed [bold: {count || mile}] on [link2: {user | his, her} last run].',

['user’ => $run->user,'count’ => $run->miles,'link1’ => [‘href’ => $run->user->url()]],'link2’ => [‘href’ => $run->url()]],

])

More Complex Example

Michael completed 3 miles on his last run.

{!! tml_begin_source('/common/navigation') }}

<ul> <li>{!! tr('Home') !!}</li> <li>{!! tr('Features') !!}</li> <li>{!! tr('Languages') !!}</li> <li>{!! tr('Pricing') !!}</li> <li>{!! tr('Docs') !!}</li>

</ul>

{!! tml_finish_source() }}

Sources are arbitrary groups of related translation keys

Sources

{!! trh(“

<ul> <li>Home</li> <li>Features</li> <li>Languages</li> <li>Pricing</li> <li>Docs</li></ul>

“, [], ['source' => '/common/navigation'] !!}

Automatic String ExtractionEntire blocks can be translated without markup.

{!! trh(“

<nav> <ul>

<li>You have <a href=’/messages’>unread messages</a></li> <li><a href=’/logout’>Logout</a></li>

</ul> </nav>

“, [], ['source' => '/common/navigation'] !!}

Automatic TML Conversion

You have [link: unread messages]You have unread messages

tr('Welcome to {user::pos} blog.', [ 'user’ => 'Michael’])

Language Cases

Welcome to Michael’s blog.

Ordinals

This is your second warning

tr('This is your {count::ord} warning', [ 'count’ => 2])


TMLDEMO

Caching Options

Static CacheFile based cache. Loaded into the process memory and must be deployed with the source code. Each process contains the entire translation cache.

Dynamic CacheRedis, Memcached (and others) updated from CDN release. Cache is shared across all processes. Can be deployed without restarting servers.


How is Translation Done?

Machine Translationprovided by Google, Microsoft and Yandex. Translations are ranked to get the best result.

Crowdsourced TranslationSome developers may choose to use their own users to translate their content, similar to how Facebook and Twitter translated their sites.

Professional TranslationOrder are received and processed by our partners and are made available in our system within hours.


UNIVERSAL TRANSLATIONMEMORY

● Translations should be reusable across multiple projects

● Each translation key can have many

translation options for a language based

on context

● Translation keys and translations are

unique and are only stored once in the

entire system
