Summary: Translation
Key: TIKA-1319
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1319
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Tyler Palsulich
Priority: Minor
I just opened up a review on reviews.apache.org --
https://reviews.apache.org/r/22219/. I copied the description below.
This patch adds basic language translation functionality to Tika. Translation
is provided by a Microsoft API, but accessed through Apache 2 licensed
com.memetix.microsoft-translator-java-api
(https://code.google.com/p/microsoft-translator-java-api/ ). If a user wants to
use the translation feature, they have to add a client id and client secret to
the tika-core/src/main/resources/org/apache/tika/language/translator.properties
file (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh454950.aspx ). I added
com.memetix as a dependency in tika-core. I put the Translator class in
org.apache.tika.language. There is no integration with the server or CLI, yet.
Further, only Strings are translated right now -- if you pass in a full
document with xml tags, the structure will be mangled. But, I think that would
be a cool feature -- translate the body, title, subtitle, etc, but not the
structural elements.
There is still more work to do, but I wanted some more eyes on this to make
sure I'm heading in the right direction and this is a desired feature. Let me
know what you think!
There are two simple unit tests for now which translate "hello" to French
("salut"). One for inputting the source and target languages, one for inputing
just the target language (and detecting the source language automatically).
