Feature: support "tag_handling": "html"
Closed this issue · 7 comments
To translate text with HTML tags, such as:
<p>The Four Laws are: </p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make it obvious</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Make it attractive</strong></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>These are based on the four steps of the habit loop: cue, craving, response, and reward.</p>\n

If you want to implement this feature, you are welcome to submit a PR. Because this project is based on the DeepL iOS App, this feature is currently not supported.
I am not familiar with how to compile and test this library. Here are a few tips we may try:
- Add the tag_handling somewhere in translateByAPI, it should be in the payload.
The https://api-free.deepl.com/v2/translate supports the "tag_handling": "html" based on an API call to DeepL.
It should be able to handle HTML tags, and there is no need to try step 2.
- Add an option for Splitting: nonewlines (default when tag_handling=html) - splits on punctuation only, ignoring newlines.
It's the code in this lib:
Params: Params{
Splitting: "newlines",
...
}Please note: These are two completely different APIs, and I am not sure if the Splitting parameter is available in the same way.
I verified the https://api-free.deepl.com/v2 support "tag_handling": "html" with a direct API call to the URL. (with other program language). It will return the correct result with HTML tags.
I assume https://www2.deepl.com supports it as well, but I didn't verify that.
You can Fork this project and modify it to try.
I just tried on the JS one: https://github.com/ifyour/deeplx. I make two lines of change, and it works.
- Remove the splitting param.
- Add tag_handling.
The translate result before the modify:
<ul\n<li><strong>After the modify:
<ul> <li><strong>Just a reference if you are willing to try it. Thanks.
I don't know how to add this feature, as it is a niche requirement.
Maybe I will add it in the next version, please stay tuned.
