GoogleTranslateLogic

Overview

GoogleTranslateLogic is a NetLogic designed to translate missing keys in a localization dictionary of FactoryTalk Optix using the Google Translate API. This class leverages the GTranslate NuGet package to perform translations.

Prerequisites

• FactoryTalk Optix
• .NET 8 SDK
• Visual Studio
• NuGet package: GTranslate (link)

Installation

1. Open the NetSolution in Visual Studio.
2. Install the GTranslate NuGet package using the NuGet Package Manager or by running the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package GTranslate

How It Works

Main Methods

1. TranslateMissingKeys: This method initiates the translation process by starting a long-running task.

public void TranslateMissingKeys()

2. TranslateMissingKeysMethod: This method performs the actual translation process. It retrieves the localization dictionary, loads its content, translates the missing keys, and updates the dictionary.

private void TranslateMissingKeysMethod()

3. GetLocalizationDictionary: This method retrieves the localization dictionary from the Information Model.

private IUAVariable GetLocalizationDictionary()

4. LoadDictionaryContent: This method loads the content of the localization dictionary.

private string[,] LoadDictionaryContent(IUAVariable localizationDictionary)

5. TranslateDictionaryContent: This method translates the content of the dictionary using non-empty keys.

private string[,] TranslateDictionaryContent(string[,] dictionaryContent)

6. TranslateText: This method uses the GoogleTranslator class from the GTranslate.Translators package to translate text.

private static string TranslateText(string textToTranslate, string targetLanguage, string sourceLanguage)

7. UpdateDictionaryContent: This method updates the localization dictionary with the translated content.

private bool UpdateDictionaryContent(IUAVariable dictionaryToUpdate, string[,] newDictionaryContent)

Usage

1. Ensure that the LocalizationDictionary variable is properly set up in the NetLogic object.
2. Call the TranslateMissingKeys method to start the translation process.

Logging

The class uses the Log object to log information, warnings, and errors throughout the translation process. This helps in monitoring the progress and identifying any issues that may arise.

Notes

• The translation process is synchronous to ensure that all translations are completed before updating the dictionary.
• The first row of the dictionary is assumed to contain the language headers.
• The first column of the dictionary is assumed to contain the localization keys.
