Localization is cumbersome


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

Core Benefits

Getting Started


gem 'tml-rails'

Integration

# Gemfile


Configuration

# initializers/tml.rb

Tml.configure do |config|config.application = {

key: “YOUR_APPLICATION_KEY”}

end


# layouts/application.html.erb

<%= tml_scripts_tag %>

<%= tml_language_selector_tag(:flags) %>

Translation Markup LanguageDeveloper friendly syntax for marking up application content. Supports language context rules and language cases, making translations significantly more accurate for any language.


Hello World

<%= tr('Hello World') %>


Translation Markup Language

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

Eats shoots and leaves

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

Translation Markup LanguageDescription & Context

Hello Michael


Translation Markup LanguageData Tokens & Interpolation

<%= tr('Hello {name}', {name:'Michael'}) %>

Hello Michael

<%= tr('Hello [bold: {user}]', { user: current_user

}) %>


Translation Markup LanguageDecoration Tokens

Hello Michael

<%= tr('Hello <strong>{user}</strong>', { user: current_user }) %>



Hello Michael

<%= tr('Hello [bold: {user}]', { user: current_user,

bold: '<strong>{$0}</strong>' }) %>



You have 5 messages

<%= tr(You have {count || message}', { count: 5

}) %>


Translation Markup LanguagePluralization

Michael uploaded 3 photos

<%= tr('{user} uploaded {count || photo}', { user: current_user, count: 3 }) %>


Translation Markup LanguagePluralization

Michael liked Anna’s post

<%= tr('{actor} liked {target::pos} post', { actor: current_user, target: other_user }) %>


Translation Markup LanguageLanguage Cases

This is your second warning

<%= tr(This is your {count::ord} warning', { count: 2}) %>


Translation Markup LanguageLanguage Cases

Michael completed 3 miles on his last run.

<%= tr('[link: {user}] completed [bold: {count || mile}] on {user | his, her} last run.', { user: current_user, link: { href: user_path }, count: 3}) %>

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.

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.

$ bundle exec rake tml:cache:generate

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

$ bundle exec rake tml:cache:upgrade
