catkeys

Manage the Haiku catkeys translation format.

The Haiku catkeys format is the translation format used for localisation of the Haiku operating system.

It is a bilingual base class derived format with CatkeysFile and CatkeysUnit providing file and unit level access. The file format is described here: http://www.haiku-os.org/blog/pulkomandy/2009-09-24_haiku_locale_kit_translator_handbook

Implementation

The implementation covers the full requirements of a catkeys file. The files are simple Tab Separated Value (TSV) files that can be read by Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs. They use the .txt extension which does make it more difficult to automatically identify such files.

The dialect of the TSV files is specified by CatkeysDialect.

Encoding

The files are UTF-8 encoded.

Header

CatkeysHeader provides header management support.

Escaping

catkeys seem to escape things like in C++ (strings are just extracted from the source code unchanged, it seems.

Functions allow for _escape() and _unescape().

Specifications

The following information is provided by Mozilla:

Specification

There is a grammar for entity definitions, which isn’t really precise, as the spec says. There’s no formal specification for DTD files, it’s just “whatever makes this work” basically. The whole piece is clearly not the strongest point of the xml spec

XML elements are allowed in entity values. A number of things that are allowed will just break the resulting document, Mozilla forbids these in their DTD parser.

Dialects

There are two dialects:

  • Regular DTD

  • Android DTD

Both dialects are similar, but the Android DTD uses some particular escapes that regular DTDs don’t have.

Escaping in regular DTD

In DTD usually there are characters escaped in the entities. In order to ease the translation some of those escaped characters are unescaped when reading from, or converting, the DTD, and that are escaped again when saving, or converting to a DTD.

In regular DTD the following characters are usually or sometimes escaped:

  • The % character is escaped using &#037; or &#37; or &#x25;

  • The “ character is escaped using &quot;

  • The ‘ character is escaped using &apos; (partial roundtrip)

  • The & character is escaped using &amp;

  • The < character is escaped using &lt; (not yet implemented)

  • The > character is escaped using &gt; (not yet implemented)

Besides the previous ones there are a lot of escapes for a huge number of characters. This escapes usually have the form of &#NUMBER; where NUMBER represents the numerical code for the character.

There are a few particularities in DTD escaping. Some of the escapes are not yet implemented since they are not really necessary, or because its implementation is too hard.

A special case is the ‘ escaping using &apos; which doesn’t provide a full roundtrip conversion in order to support some special Mozilla DTD files.

Also the “ character is never escaped in the case that the previous character is = (the sequence =” is present on the string) in order to avoid escaping the “ character indicating an attribute assignment, for example in a href attribute for an a tag in HTML (anchor tag).

Escaping in Android DTD

It has the sames escapes as in regular DTD, plus this ones:

  • The ‘ character is escaped using &apos; or ' or u0027

  • The “ character is escaped using &quot;

ical

Class that manages iCalender files for translation.

iCalendar files follow the RFC2445 specification.

The iCalendar specification uses the following naming conventions:

  • Component: an event, journal entry, timezone, etc

  • Property: a property of a component: summary, description, start time, etc

  • Attribute: an attribute of a property, e.g. language

The following are localisable in this implementation:

  • VEVENT component: SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION, COMMENT and LOCATION properties

While other items could be localised this is not seen as important until use cases arise. In such a case simply adjusting the component.name and property.name lists to include these will allow expanded localisation.

LANGUAGE Attribute

While the iCalendar format allows items to have a language attribute this is not used. The reason being that for most of the items that we localise they are only allowed to occur zero or once. Thus ‘summary’ would ideally be present in multiple languages in one file, the format does not allow such multiple entries. This is unfortunate as it prevents the creation of a single multilingual iCalendar file.

Future Format Support

As this format used vobject which supports various formats including vCard it is possible to expand this format to understand those if needed.

markdown

Module for parsing Markdown files for translation.

The principles for extraction of translation units are as follows:

  1. Extract all content relevant for translation, at the cost of also including some formatting.

  2. One translation unit per paragraph.

  3. Keep formatting out of the translation units as much as possible. Exceptions include phrase emphasis and inline code. Use placeholders {1}, {2}, …, as needed.

  4. Avoid HTML entities in the translation units. Use Unicode equivalents if possible.

White space within translation units is normalized, because the PO format does not preserve white space, and the translated Markdown content may have to be reflowed anyway.

placeables

This module implements basic functionality to support placeables.

A placeable is used to represent things like:
  1. Substitutions

    For example, in ODF, footnotes appear in the ODF XML where they are defined; so if we extract a paragraph with some footnotes, the translator will have a lot of additional XML to with; so we separate the footnotes out into separate translation units and mark their positions in the original text with placeables.

  2. Hiding of inline formatting data

    The translator doesn’t want to have to deal with all the weird formatting conventions of wherever the text came from.

  3. Marking variables

    This is an old issue - translators translate variable names which should remain untranslated. We can wrap placeables around variable names to avoid this.

The placeables model follows the XLIFF standard’s list of placeables. Please refer to the XLIFF specification to get a better understanding.

base

Contains base placeable classes with names based on XLIFF placeables. See the XLIFF standard for more information about what the names mean.

class translate.storage.placeables.base.Bpt(sub=None, id=None, rid=None, xid=None, **kwargs)

delete_range(start_index, end_index)

Delete the text in the range given by the string-indexes start_index and end_index.

Partial nodes will only be removed if they are editable.

Returns:

A StringElem representing the removed sub-string, the parent node from which it was deleted as well as the offset at which it was deleted from. None is returned for the parent value if the root was deleted. If the parent and offset values are not None, parent.insert(offset, deleted) effectively undoes the delete.

elem_at_offset(offset)

Get the StringElem in the tree that contains the string rendered at the given offset.

elem_offset(elem)

Transform the sub-tree according to some class-specific needs. This method should be either overridden in implementing sub-classes or dynamically replaced by specific applications.

Returns:

The transformed Unicode string representing the sub-tree.

class translate.storage.placeables.interfaces.SubflowPlaceable(sub=None, id=None, rid=None, xid=None, **kwargs)

Partial nodes will only be removed if they are editable.

Returns:

A StringElem representing the removed sub-string, the parent node from which it was deleted as well as the offset at which it was deleted from.

translate.storage.placeables.parse.parse(tree, parse_funcs)

Parse placeables from the given string or sub-tree by using the parsing functions provided.

The output of this function is heavily dependent on the order of the parsing functions. This is because of the algorithm used.

$some_entity = "value";  # Named variables
define("ENTITY", "value");
$lang = array(
   'item1' => 'value1'    ,   #Supports space before comma
   'item2' => 'value2',
);
$lang = array(    # Nested arrays
   'item1' => 'value1',
   'item2' => array(
      'key' => 'value'    ,   #Supports space before comma
      'key2' => 'value2',
   ),
);

Nested arrays without key for nested array are not supported:

<?php
$lang = array(array('key' => 'value'));

properties

Classes that hold units of .properties, and similar, files that are used in translating Java, Mozilla, MacOS and other software.

The propfile class is a monolingual class with propunit providing unit level access.

The .properties store has become a general key value pair class with Dialect providing the ability to change the behaviour of the parsing and handling of the various dialects.

Currently we support:

  • Java .properties

  • Mozilla .properties

  • Adobe Flex files

  • MacOS X .strings files

  • Skype .lang files

  • XWiki .properties

The following provides references and descriptions of the various dialects supported:

Java

Java .properties are supported completely except for the ability to drop pairs that are not translated.

The following .properties file description gives a good references to the .properties specification.

Properties file may also hold Java MessageFormat messages. No special handling is provided in this storage class for MessageFormat, but this may be implemented in future.

All delimiter types, comments, line continuations and spaces handling in delimeters are supported.

Mozilla

Mozilla files use ‘=’ as a delimiter, are UTF-8 encoded and thus don’t need \u escaping. Any \U values will be converted to correct Unicode characters.

Strings

Mac OS X strings files are implemented using these two articles as references.

Flex

Adobe Flex files seem to be normal .properties files but in UTF-8 just like Mozilla files. This page provides the information used to implement the dialect.

Skype

Skype .lang files seem to be UTF-16 encoded .properties files.

XWiki

XWiki translations files are standard Java .properties but with specific escaping support for simple quotes, and support of missing translations. This XWiki document provides the information used to implement the dialect.

A simple summary of what is permissible follows.

Comments supported:

# a comment
// a comment (only at the beginning of a line)

# The following are # escaped to render in docs
# ! is standard but not widely supported
#! a comment
# /* is non-standard but used on some implementations
#/* a comment (not across multiple lines) */

Name and Value pairs:

# Delimiters
key = value
key : value
# Whitespace delimiter
# key[sp]value

# Space in key and around value
\ key\ = \ value

# Note that the b and c are escaped for reST rendering
b = a string with escape sequences \\t \\n \\r \\\\ \\" \\' \\ (space) \u0123
c = a string with a continuation line \\
    continuation line

# Special cases
# key with no value
//key (escaped; doesn't render in docs)
# value no key (extractable in prop2po but not mergeable in po2prop)
=value

# .strings specific
"key" = "value";

>>> from translate.storage.placeables.interfaces import X
>>> rich = [StringElem(['foo', X(id='xxx', sub=[' ']), 'bar'])]
>>> TranslationUnit.rich_to_multistring(rich)
multistring('foo bar')
setcontext(context)

Set the message context.

only implemented if format allows ids independant from other unit properties like source or context

settypecomment(typecomment, present=True)

Alters whether a given typecomment is present.

property source

Returns the unescaped msgid.

unit_iter()

Iterator that only returns this unit.

translate.storage.pypo.quoteforpo(text, wrapper_obj=None)

Quotes the given text for a PO file, returning quoted and escaped lines.

translate.storage.pypo.splitlines(text)

Split lines based on first newline char.

Can not use univerzal newlines as they match any newline like character inside text and that breaks on files with unix newlines and LF chars inside comments.

The code looks for first msgid and looks for newline used after it. This should safely cover weird newlines used in comments or filenames, while properly parsing po files with any newlines.

translate.storage.pypo.unescape(line)

Unescape the given line.

Quotes on either side should already have been removed.

qm

Module for parsing Qt .qm files.

Note

Based on documentation from Gettext’s .qm implementation (see write-qt.c) and on observation of the output of lrelease.

Note

Certain deprecated section tags are not implemented. These will break and print out the missing tag. They are easy to implement and should follow the structure in 03 (Translation). We could find no examples that use these so we’d rather leave it unimplemented until we actually have test data.

Note

Many .qm files are unable to be parsed as they do not have the source text. We assume that since they use a hash table to lookup the data there is actually no need for the source text. It seems however that in Qt4’s lrelease all data is included in the resultant .qm file.

Note

We can only parse, not create, a .qm file. The main issue is that we need to implement the hashing algorithm (which seems to be identical to the Gettext hash algorithm). Unlike Gettext it seems that the hash is required, but that has not been validated.

Note

The code can parse files correctly. But it could be cleaned up to be more readable, especially the part that breaks the file into sections.

tiki

Class that manages TikiWiki files for translation.

Tiki files are <strike>ugly and inconsistent</strike> formatted as a single large PHP array with several special sections identified by comments. Example current as of 2008-12-01:

<?php
  // Many comments at the top
  $lang=Array(
  // ### Start of unused words
  "aaa" => "zzz",
  // ### end of unused words

  // ### start of untranslated words
  // "bbb" => "yyy",
  // ### end of untranslated words

  // ### start of possibly untranslated words
  "ccc" => "xxx",
  // ### end of possibly untranslated words

  "ddd" => "www",
  "###end###"=>"###end###");
?>

In addition there are several auto-generated //-style comments scattered through the page and array, some of which matter when being parsed.

This has all been gleaned from the TikiWiki source. As far as I know no detailed documentation exists for the tiki language.php files.

utx

Manage the Universal Terminology eXchange (UTX) format.

UTX is a format for terminology exchange, designed it seems with Machine Translation (MT) as it’s primary consumer. The format is created by the Asia-Pacific Association for Machine Translation (AAMT).

It is a bilingual base class derived format with UtxFile and UtxUnit providing file and unit level access.

The format can manage monolingual dictionaries but these classes don’t implement that.

Specification

The format is implemented according to UTX v1.0 (No longer available from their website. The current UTX version may be downloaded instead).

Format Implementation

The UTX format is a Tab Seperated Value (TSV) file in UTF-8. The first two lines are headers with subsequent lines containing a single source target definition.

wordfast

Manage the Wordfast Translation Memory format.

Wordfast TM format is the Translation Memory format used by the Wordfast computer aided translation tool.

It is a bilingual base class derived format with WordfastTMFile and WordfastUnit providing file and unit level access.

Wordfast is a computer aided translation tool. It is an application built on top of Microsoft Word and is implemented as a rather sophisticated set of macros. Understanding that helps us understand many of the seemingly strange choices around this format including: encoding, escaping and file naming.

Implementation

The implementation covers the full requirements of a Wordfast TM file. The files are simple Tab Separated Value (TSV) files that can be read by Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs. They use the .txt extension which does make it more difficult to automatically identify such files.

The dialect of the TSV files is specified by WordfastDialect.

Encoding

The files are UTF-16 or ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) encoded. These choices are most likely because Microsoft Word is the base editing tool for Wordfast.

The format is tab separated so we are able to detect UTF-16 vs Latin-1 by searching for the occurance of a UTF-16 tab character and then continuing with the parsing.

Timestamps

WordfastTime allows for the correct management of the Wordfast YYYYMMDD~HHMMSS timestamps. However, timestamps on individual units are not updated when edited.

Header

WordfastHeader provides header management support. The header functionality is fully implemented through observing the behaviour of the files in real use cases, input from the Wordfast programmers and public documentation.

Escaping

Wordfast TM implements a form of escaping that covers two aspects:

  1. Placeable: bold, formating, etc. These are left as is and ignored. It is up to the editor and future placeable implementation to manage these.

  2. Escapes: items that may confuse Excel or translators are escaped as &'XX;. These are fully implemented and are converted to and from Unicode. By observing behaviour and reading documentation we where able to observe all possible escapes. Unfortunately the escaping differs slightly between Windows and Mac version. This might cause errors in future. Functions allow for <_wf_to_char> and back to Wordfast escape (<_char_to_wf>).

Extended Attributes

The last 4 columns allow users to define and manage extended attributes. These are left as is and are not directly managed byour implemenation.

workflow

A workflow is defined by a set of states that a translation unit can be in and the (allowed) transitions between these states. A state is defined by a range between -128 and 127, indicating its level of “completeness”. The range is closed at the beginning and open at the end. That is, if a workflow contains states A, B and C where A < B < C, a unit with state number n is in state A if A <= n < B, state B if B <= n < C or state C if C <= n < MAX.

A value of 0 is typically the “empty” or “new” state with negative values reserved for states like “obsolete” or “do not use”.

Format specific workflows should be defined in such a way that the numeric state values correspond to similar states. For example state 0 should be “untranslated” in PO and “new” or “empty” in XLIFF, state 100 should be “translated” in PO and “final” in XLIFF. This allows formats to implicitly define similar states.

Indicates whether this unit is fuzzy.

static isheader()

Indicates whether this unit is a header.

static isobsolete()

Indicate whether a unit is obsolete.

isreview()

States whether this unit needs to be reviewed.

istranslatable()

Indicates whether this unit can be translated.

This should be used to distinguish real units for translation from header, obsolete, binary or other blank units.

istranslated()

Indicates whether this unit is translated.

This should be used rather than deducing it from .target, to ensure that other classes can implement more functionality (as XLIFF does).

makeobsolete()

Make a unit obsolete.

markapproved(value=True)

Mark this unit as approved.

markfuzzy(value=True)

Marks the unit as fuzzy or not.

markreviewneeded(needsreview=True, explanation=None)

Marks the unit to indicate whether it needs review.

Adds an optional explanation as a note.

merge(otherunit, overwrite=False, comments=True, authoritative=False)

Do basic format agnostic merging.

classmethod multistring_to_rich(mstr)

Override TranslationUnit.multistring_to_rich() which is used by the rich_source and rich_target properties.

namespaced(name)

Returns name in Clark notation.

For example namespaced("source") in an XLIFF document might return:

{urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.1}source

This is needed throughout lxml.

removenotes(origin=None)

Remove all the translator notes.

rich_parsers = []

A list of functions to use for parsing a string into a rich string tree.

property rich_source
property rich_target
classmethod rich_to_multistring(elem_list)

Override TranslationUnit.rich_to_multistring() which is used by the rich_source and rich_target properties.

setcontext(context)

Set the message context.

setid(id)

Sets the unique identified for this unit.

only implemented if format allows ids independant from other unit properties like source or context

settarget(target, lang='xx', append=False)

Sets the target string to the given value.

static sync_plural_count(target: list[str] | str | multistring, plural_tags: list[str]) list[str]

Ensure that plural count in string matches tags definition.

unit_iter()

Iterator that only returns this unit.

xml_extract

extract

class translate.storage.xml_extract.extract.ParseState(no_translate_content_elements, inline_elements={}, nsmap={})

Maintain constants and variables used during the walking of a DOM tree (via the function apply).

class translate.storage.xml_extract.extract.Translatable(placeable_name, xpath, dom_node, source, is_inline=False)

A node corresponds to a translatable element. A node may have children, which correspond to placeables.

property has_translatable_text

Check if it contains any chunk of text with more than whitespace.

If not, then there’s nothing to translate.

translate.storage.xml_extract.extract.build_idml_store(odf_file, store, parse_state, store_adder=None)

Build a store for the given IDML file.

translate.storage.xml_extract.extract.build_store(odf_file, store, parse_state, store_adder=None)

Build a store for the given XML file.

translate.storage.xml_extract.extract.make_postore_adder(store, id_maker, filename)

Return a function which, when called with a Translatable will add a unit to ‘store’. The placeables will be represented as strings according to ‘placeable_quoter’.

translate.storage.xml_extract.extract.process_translatable(dom_node, state)

Process a translatable DOM node.

Any translatable content present in a child node is treated as a placeable.

generate

translate.storage.xml_extract.generate.find_dom_root(parent_dom_node, dom_node)
translate.storage.xml_extract.generate.find_placeable_dom_tree_roots(unit_node)

For an inline placeable, find the root DOM node for the placeable in its parent.

Consider the diagram. In this pseudo-ODF example, there is an inline span element. However, the span is contained in other tags (which we never process). When splicing the template DOM tree (that is, the DOM which comes from the XML document we’re using to generate a translated XML document), we’ll need to move DOM sub-trees around and we need the roots of these sub-trees:

<p> This is text \/                <- Paragraph containing an inline placeable
                 <blah>            <- Inline placeable's root (which we want to find)
                 ...               <- Any number of intermediate DOM nodes
                 <span> bold text  <- The inline placeable's Translatable
                                      holds a reference to this DOM node
translate.storage.xml_extract.generate.get_xliff_source_target_doms(unit)

Return a tuple with unit source and target DOM objects.

This method is method is meant to provide a way to retrieve the DOM objects for the unit source and target for XLIFF stores.

translate.storage.xml_extract.generate.replace_dom_text(make_parse_state, dom_retriever=<function get_xliff_source_target_doms>, process_translatable=<function process_translatable>)

Generate a replacement functions.

Return a function:

action: etree_Element x base.TranslationUnit -> None

which takes a dom_node and a translation unit. The dom_node is rearranged according to rearrangement of placeables in unit.target (relative to their positions in unit.source).

misc

translate.storage.xml_extract.misc.compose_mappings(left, right)

Given two mappings left: A -> B and right: B -> C, create a hash result_map: A -> C. Only values in left (i.e. things from B) which have corresponding keys in right will have their keys mapped to values in right.

translate.storage.xml_extract.misc.parse_tag(full_tag)

Parse a full XML tag name into namespace and tag name.

>>> parse_tag('{urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0}document-content')
('urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0', 'document-content')
>>> parse_tag('document-content')
('', 'document-content').
translate.storage.xml_extract.misc.reduce_tree(f, parent_unit_node, unit_node, get_children, *state)

Enumerate a tree, applying f to in a pre-order fashion to each node.

parent_unit_node contains the parent of unit_node. For the root of the tree, parent_unit_node == unit_node.

get_children is a single argument function applied to a unit_node to get a list/iterator to its children.

state is used by f to modify state information relating to whatever f does to the tree.

unit_tree

translate.storage.xml_extract.unit_tree.build_unit_tree(store, filename=None)

Enumerate a translation store and build a tree with XPath components as nodes and where a node contains a unit if a path from the root of the tree to the node containing the unit, is equal to the XPath of the unit.

The tree looks something like this:

root
   `- ('document-content', 1)
      `- ('body', 2)
         |- ('text', 1)
         |  `- ('p', 1)
         |     `- <reference to a unit>
         |- ('text', 2)
         |  `- ('p', 1)
         |     `- <reference to a unit>
         `- ('text', 3)
            `- ('p', 1)
               `- <reference to a unit>

xpath_breadcrumb

class translate.storage.xml_extract.xpath_breadcrumb.XPathBreadcrumb

A class which is used to build XPath-like paths as a DOM tree is walked. It keeps track of the number of times which it has seen a certain tag, so that it will correctly create indices for tags.

Initially, the path is empty. Thus >>> xb = XPathBreadcrumb() >>> xb.xpath “”

Suppose we walk down a DOM node for the tag <foo> and we want to record this, we simply do >>> xb.start_tag(‘foo’)

Now, the path is no longer empty. Thus >>> xb.xpath foo[0]

Now suppose there are two <bar> tags under the tag <foo> (that is <foo><bar></bar><bar></bar><foo>), then the breadcrumb will keep track of the number of times it sees <bar>. Thus

>>> xb.start_tag('bar')
>>> xb.xpath
foo[0]/bar[0]
>>> xb.end_tag()
>>> xb.xpath
foo[0]
>>> xb.start_tag('bar')
>>> xb.xpath
foo[0]/bar[1]

xml_name

class translate.storage.xml_name.XmlNamer(dom_node)

Initialize me with a DOM node or a DOM document node (the toplevel node you get when parsing an XML file). Then use me to generate fully qualified XML names.

>>> xml = '<office:document-styles xmlns:office="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0"></office>'
>>> from lxml import etree
>>> namer = XmlNamer(etree.fromstring(xml))
>>> namer.name('office', 'blah')
{urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0}blah
>>> namer.name('office:blah')
{urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0}blah

I can also give you XmlNamespace objects if you give me the abbreviated namespace name. These are useful if you need to reference a namespace continuously.

>>> office_ns = name.namespace('office')
>>> office_ns.name('foo')
{urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0}foo
