Info
- Rakesh - working on entrans
- Finished automated translation part of plugin
- Started investigating and playing with transliteration part.
- Gora: Worked on adding Google translate support to Pootle
- Use jquery autocomplete plugin for textboxes to add auto-completion to the text-area where the translation is added. After the user has typed a word, i.e., when a non-word character is typed, the plugin loads an AJAX URL which fetches Google Translate suggestions for the text entered so far.
- The AJAX URL uses Python's urllib to fetch JSON data from Google. An internal URL has to be used as Jquery stops cross-site scripting as a security measure.
- Everything is working now, except figuring out how to add the internal AJAX URL to the site configuration for the server usd by Pootle. Pootle uses jToolkit for the server, which is poorly documented, but this is a small part that remains to be figured out.
- Karunakar - Testing entrans plugin
- Discussed about the design with Rakesh
- Did most of testing for entrans plugin
