OneSky: The Community-Powered Translation Service
OneSky is a new service that lets developers reach a global audience by easily enabling them to translate their websites and applications to different languages through the help of the community.
This gem is the basic interface to the RESTful API. It is used as the main building block for higher-level utilities and libraries such as the i18n-one_sky gem.
Installing
Get from RubyGems.org by:
gem install one_sky
Usage
Just the basic usage scenarios are shown here. See OneSky::Project for more available methods.
Initialization
Provide the API key and secret which you can get from the web UI. Also provide the name of the project you created.
require 'one_sky'
client = OneSky::Client.new("my_api_key", "my_api_secret")
Project
Load a specific project by name.
project = client.project("my-project-name")
Get the details of the project.
project.details
See what platforms are available.
project.platforms
Platform
Load a specific platform by id.
platform = project.platform(123)
Get the details of the platform.
platform.details
See what locales are assigned.
platform.locales
Translation
Get the translation proxy for a platform
translation = platform.translation
Submit a phrase for translation
Submit a single string:
translation.input_string("Hello World!")
Submit a string with a specified key, context, and page:
translation.input_string(:string => "Hello World!", :string_key => "hello_world", :context => "my_context", :page => "my_page")
Submit many strings at once:
translation.input_strings(["Hello World!", "Goodbye Moon"])
Provide a translation
Submit a translation for a given key, in a given locale.
translation.translate("hello_world", "zh_CN", "世界你好")
Get translated phrases
So you’ve submitted your phrases and your translators/users or the general OneSky community have kindly provided translations for them. It’s time now to download those.
translations = translation.output
=> {"Default"=>{"en-us"=>{"Hello World!"=>"Hello World!"}, "zh-cn"=>{"Hello World!"=>"\u4E16\u754C\u60A8\u597D\uFF01"}, "es-es"=>{"Hello World!"=>"Hola Mundo!"}}}
Let’s pretty print that a bit:
translations["Default"].map { |k,v| puts "#{k}: #{v['Hello World!']}" }
en-us: Hello World!
zh-cn: 世界您好!
es-es: Hola Mundo!
Provide a single sign-on (SSO) link for your translators
OneSky is all about community-powered translations. You can mark your project as public and any OneSky member translator can help in translating your phrases. Or if you mark it as private, only those you give access to can do so. For instance, you’d like your own website’s user base to help you out. You can take a user’s unique ID and bind it to OneSky:
client.utility.get_sso_link("myapp/users/123456", "fred")
=> "http://rubyredtomatoes.oneskyapp.com/?time=1294020222&id=myapp/users/123456&data=3d56315499647c0419867283767aa270"
That user can then use the above link to automatically sign in to OneSky and start translating for you.
