TranslatorService

[srosset81]

Service which looks for new string-type literals which are added to the triple store (listening to Moleculer events), and automatically translate them to chosen languages, using DeepL API or Google Cloud Translation

Settings:

• baseLocale: locale to translate from
• translatedLocale: locales to translate to
• exclude: predicates or classes to exclude from translation

Actions:

• addBaseLocale: Add the baseLocale to all string-type literals
• translateAll: Look for all string-type literals and translate them

Other tasks

• Adapt whole SemApps code to adapt to locale (:warning: big task ?!)
• Adapt data provider to filter by locale (could be passed as a meta, supported since React-Admin 4)
• Adapt Archipelago to display data by language (don't activate edit function in non-base locale ?)
  • If a translation is incorrect, it could be fixed. But if the string in the base locale is updated, changes will be overwritten.

Idea

In the futur, we could provide a tool which could be notified, through ActivityPub, when an automatic translation has been added, and allow to correct it. Ideally, we should use RDF-star in order to mark if a translation has been approved or not... but this is another task altogether.
