Introducing: Automatic translations via doloc.io

[daniel-sc]

Hi everybody,

I created a service (doloc.io) which integrates well with ng-extract-i18n-merge - you send your merged translation xliff file to https://api.doloc.io and get back a translated version. As the translation takes already translated texts as a dictionary, these new translations will be very good (let me know if not!).

Please check it out and give some feedback how it works for you :)

To get started, you could simply create a new npm script, such as (after registering and creating an api token on https://doloc.io/account):

package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve",
    "extract-i18n-merge": "ng extract-i18n",
+   "auto-translate-fr": "curl https://api.doloc.io -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" --data-binary @src/i18n/messages.fr.xlf -o src/i18n/messages.fr.xlf",
+   "auto-translate-it": "curl https://api.doloc.io -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" --data-binary @src/i18n/messages.it.xlf -o src/i18n/messages.it.xlf",
+   "update-i18n": "ng extract-i18n && npm run auto-translate-fr && npm run auto-translate-it",
  },

@daniel-sc I believe this script is out of date and you need -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" to make it work now?

@ElementalSystems yes - you are right - I updated it accordingly. Thanks!
