python-transifex

A Python API to the Transifex translation service (www.transifex.com).

This API wrapper makes it easier to communicate with Transifex. The wrapper does not expose all of the underlying functionality of the Transifex API. This wrapper is compatible with both www.transifex.com and Transifex Community Edition (self hosted).

Usage

Authentication

To connect to transifex:

In [1]: from transifex.api import TransifexAPI

# Replace `username` and `password` here with your own username and password
In [2]: t = TransifexAPI('username', 'password', 'http://transifex.com')

In [3]: t.ping()
Out[3]: True

Projects

Create a new public project

Public projects require a repository_url. This can be any valid URL. Private projects do mnot require this, but you must have a Transifex plan which allows private projects.

In [4]: t.new_project('helloworld5', repository_url='http://gmail.com')

Check if a project already exists

In [5]: t.project_exists('helloworld5')
Out[5]: True

In [6]: t.project_exists('helloworld44345')
Out[6]: False

Resources

A resource is a set of strings which need to be translated into one or more other languages.

Create a resource

In [7]: t.new_resource('helloworld5', '/src/python-transifex/pofile.po', resource_slug='anotherpofile')

List resources

In [8]: t.list_resources('helloworld5')
Out[8]: 
[{u'categories': None,
  u'i18n_type': u'PO',
  u'name': u'anotherpofile',
  u'priority': u'1',
  u'slug': u'anotherpofile',
  u'source_language_code': u'en_GB'}]

Delete a resource

In [9]: t.delete_resource('helloworld5', 'anotherpofile')

List the languages this resource is translated into

# First, recreate the resource on the Tranisfex server
in [10]: t.new_resource('helloworld5', '/src/python-transifex/pofile.po')

In [11]: t.list_languages('helloworld5', 'pofilepo')
Out[11]: [u'en_GB']

Uploading translations to Transifex

If you have up to date translations in your codebase, you should update them to Transifex so that the translators don't have to translate everything from scratch.

In [12]: t.new_translation('helloworld5', 'pofilepo', 'pt-br','/src/python-transifex/pofile.po')
Out[12]: 
{u'redirect': u'/projects/p/helloworld5/resource/pofilepo/',
 u'strings_added': 0,
 u'strings_delete': 0,
 u'strings_updated': 0}

Downloading translations from Transifex

To download the translations and store them in a local file run the following:

In [13]: t.get_translation('helloworld5', 'pofilepo', 'pt-br', '/src/python-transifex/pofile_ptbr.po')
