GTranslate

README.md

This version of GTranslate has changes which the original GTranslate author did not approve into the main GTranslate branch.

Some of the changes includes the following:

  • Additional languages.
  • Removal much of the GTranslate alias language code.
  • Extra try-catch code.

There are more changes to come which will not go into the main branch. This includes the following:

  • Moving the language details out of the source code and into either an XML file or a SQLite DB.
    • That will make it so the source code doesn't have to be changed every time there are additional languages.
  • Have the language details only include the key and language name.
    • Remove native-name because it's not needed to perform the translation.
    • Remove iso6391 because it's misleading since many languages don't have an ISO639-1 2 letter tag.
    • Remove iso6393 because it's misleading since some languages don't have an ISO639-3 3 letter tag.
  • Removal much of the GTranslate alias language code.
    • Keep only tag alias that are exact match. Example: ["sr-Cyrl"] = "sr"
  • Move the remaining alias code to XML file.
    • That will allow users to include or exclude what they want from the alias list.
  • Use SQLite DB to cache translations.
    • The DB will store strings that were previously translated, so-as to avoid calling translation service for the same string and target language.
  • Add logic to handle translations which exceed the character limit for the translation service, by dividing the translation request into multiple request which are below the limit.
    • That code is currently in ABetterTranslator source code.
