NAME

WebService::Smartling - The great new WebService::Smartling!

VERSION

Version 0.0.4

SYNOPSIS

This module provides a Perl wrapper around Smartling's ( http://smartling.com ) translation API. You will need to be a Smartling customer and have your API Key and project Id before you'll be able to do anything with this module.

Note: Some parameter validation is purposely lax. The API will generally fail when invalid params are passed. The errors are not helpful.

INTERFACE

new

Inherited from WebService::Simple, and takes all the same arguments. You must provide the Smartling required arguments of apiKey and projectId in the param hash:

 my $sl = WebService::Smartling->new( param => { apiKey    => $KEY,
                                                 projectId => $ID } );

Note: Enabling debug mode will change the API end point to the Smartling Sandbox API. This is an excellent way to debug your API interactions without affecting your production project.

 my $sl = WebService::Smartling->new( param => { apiKey    => $KEY,
                                                 projectId => $ID },
                                      debug => 1 );
Parameters
apiKey (required)

You can find within your Smartling project's dashboard: https://dashboard.smartling.com/settings/api

projectId (required)

You can find within your Smartling project's dashboard: https://dashboard.smartling.com/settings/api

fileDelete(%params)

Removes the file from Smartling. The file will no longer be available for download. Any complete translations for the file remain available for use within the system.

Smartling deletes files asynchronously and it typically takes a few minutes to complete. While deleting a file, you can not upload a file with the same fileUri.

Refer to https://docs.smartling.com/display/docs/Files+API#FilesAPI-/file/delete%28DELETE%29

Parameters
fileUri (required)

Value that uniquely identifies the file.

Returns: JSON result from API
     {"response":{"code":"SUCCESS","messages":[],"data":null,}}

fileGet(%params)

Downloads the requested file from Smartling.

It is important to check the HTTP response status code. If Smartling finds and returns the file normally, you will receive a 200 SUCCESS response. If you receive any other response status code than 200, the requested file will not be part of the response.

When you upload a UTF-16 character encoded file, then /file/get requests for that file will have a character encoding of UTF-16. All other uploaded files will return with a character encoding of UTF-8. You can always use the content-type header in the response of a file/get request can always to determine the character encoding.

Refer to https://docs.smartling.com/display/docs/Files+API#FilesAPI-/file/status%28GET%29

Parameters
fileUri (required)

Value that uniquely identifies the file.

locale (optional)

A locale identifier as specified in project setup. If no locale is specified, original content is returned. You can find the list of locales for your project on the Smartling dashboard at https://dashboard.smartling.com/settings/api.

retrievalType (optional)

Allowed values: pending, published, pseudo

pending indicates that Smartling returns any translations (including non-published translations)

published indicates that Smartling returns only published translations

pseudo indicates that Smartling returns a modified version of the original text with certain characters transformed and the text expanded. For example, the uploaded string "This is a sample string", will return as "T~hís ~ís á s~ámpl~é str~íñg". Pseudo translations enable you to test how a longer string integrates into your application.

If you do not specify a value, Smartling assumes published.

Returns: HTTP::Common::Response object
     my( $dl ) = $sl->fileGet( { fileUri       => $uri,
                                 locale        => 'fr-FR', 
                                 retrievalType => 'pending' } );
     print $dl->content() . $/;

fileList(%params)

Lists recently uploaded files. Returns a maximum of 100 files.

Refer to https://docs.smartling.com/display/docs/Files+API#FilesAPI-/file/list%28GET%29

Parameters
locale (optional)

If not specified, the Smartling Files API will return a listing of the original files matching the specified criteria. When the locale is not specified, completedStringCount will be "0".

uriMask (optional)

SQL like syntax (ex '%.strings').

fileTypes (optional)

Identifiers: android, ios, gettext, javaProperties, xliff, yaml. File types are combined using the logical ‘OR’.

lastUploadedAfter (optional)

Return all files uploaded after the specified date. All dates will follow the common ISO 8601 date and time standard format, and will be expressed in UTC:

 "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss"
lastUploadedBefore (optional)

Return all files uploaded before the specified date. All dates will follow the common ISO 8601 date and time standard format, and will be expressed in UTC:

 "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss"
offset (optional)

For result set returns, the offset is a number indicating the distance from the beginning of the list; for example, for a result set of "50" files, you can set the offset at 10 to return files 10 - 50.

limit (optional)

For result set returns, limits the number of files returned; for example, for a result set of 50 files, a limit of "10" would return files 0 - 10.

conditions (optional)

An array of the following conditions: haveAtLeastOneUnapproved, haveAtLeastOneApproved, haveAtLeastOneTranslated, haveAllTranslated, haveAllApproved, haveAllUnapproved. Conditions are combined using the logical 'OR'.

orderBy (optional)

Choices: names of any return parameters; for example, fileUri, stringCount, wordCount, approvedStringCount, completedStringCount, lastUploaded and fileType. You can specify ascending or descending with each parameter by adding "_asc" or "_desc"; for example, "fileUri_desc". If you do not specify ascending or descending, the default is ascending.

Returns: JSON result from API
     {
       "fileCount": "[number]",
       "fileList" : [{
            "fileUri": "[/myproject/i18n/ui.properties]"
            "stringCount": "[number]",
            "wordCount": "[number]",
            "approvedStringCount": "[number]",

            "fileType": "[fileType]" },
        { ... } ]
     }

fileRename(%params)

Renames an uploaded file by changing the fileUri. After renaming the file, the file will only be identified by the new fileUri you provide.

This must be a fileUri that does not exist in the Smartling database.

Returns: JSON result from API
     {"response":{"code":"SUCCESS","messages":[],"data":null,}}
