NOT in development. This package is beeing merged on plone.app.multilingual

plone.multilingual

This package contains the core functionality for the next generation multilingual engine.

These are the main artifacts and its purposes:

> canonical:
> - the canonical organizes the information about a > "translation-group" > > * it's using a dictionary with language-codes as keys and uuids > (provided by plone.uuid) as values > > storage:
> - persistent storage, which holds the canonicals in an IOBTree > - the OOBTree's key is the UUID of the content, the according value > is the canonical > > manager:
> - adapter for ITranslatable > - provides the translations API > > adapters:
> - ITranslationLocator - where to put a translation > - ITranslationIdChooser - generates a valid id for a translation > - ITranslationCloner - copy the language-independent content to the > translation > - ITranslationFactory - creates the translation

In order to have a test we have a type called Demo that has an adapter called DemoLanguage that will allow to get the language of the object:

>>> from plone.multilingual.interfaces import ITranslationManager
>>> from plone.multilingual.interfaces import ILanguage
>>> from plone.app.testing import setRoles, login, TEST_USER_ID, TEST_USER_NAME
>>> from zope.lifecycleevent import modified

>>> portal = layer['portal']
>>> setRoles(portal, TEST_USER_ID, ['Manager'])
>>> login(portal, TEST_USER_NAME)
>>> portal.invokeFactory('Folder', 'ob1', title=u"An archetypes based folder")
'ob1'

>>> ILanguage(portal['ob1']).set_language('ca')
>>> portal['ob1'].reindexObject()
>>> modified(portal['ob1'])

Ensuring that the new object gets its UUID:

>>> from plone.uuid.interfaces import IUUID
>>> ob1_uuid = IUUID(portal['ob1'])
>>> isinstance(ob1_uuid, str)
True

We create a new translation in 'en' language:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).add_translation('en')

We try to create a new translation in 'ca' that already exists:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).add_translation('ca')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
KeyError: 'Translation already exists'

We try to create a new translation without language:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).add_translation(None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
KeyError: 'There is no target language'

We get the 'en' translation:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).get_translation('en')

>>> ILanguage(ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).get_translation('en')).get_language() == 'en'
True

let's get all the translations:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).get_translations()
{'ca': , 'en': }

let's get only the languages:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).get_translated_languages()
['ca', 'en']

has_translation:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).has_translation('en')
True

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).has_translation('it')
False

register_translation with invalid language:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).remove_translation('en')
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).register_translation(None, portal['ob1-en'])
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
KeyError: 'There is no target language'

register a translation with content:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).register_translation('en', portal['ob1-en'])
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).get_translations()
{'ca': , 'en': }

changing the content-language (there should act a subscriber):

>>> ILanguage(portal['ob1-en']).set_language('it')
>>> from zope.event import notify
>>> from zope.lifecycleevent import ObjectModifiedEvent
>>> notify(ObjectModifiedEvent(portal['ob1-en']))
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).get_translations()
{'ca': , 'it': }

test more translations:

>>> obj_it = ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).get_translation('it')
>>> ITranslationManager(obj_it).add_translation('fr')
>>> ITranslationManager(obj_it).add_translation('pt')
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).get_translated_languages()
['ca', 'it', 'fr', 'pt']
>>> ITranslationManager(obj_it).get_translated_languages()
['ca', 'it', 'fr', 'pt']

test if canonicals objects are the same:

>>> obj_ca = ITranslationManager(obj_it).get_translation('ca')
>>> canonical_it = ITranslationManager(obj_it).query_canonical()
>>> canonical_ca = ITranslationManager(obj_ca).query_canonical()
>>> canonical_it == canonical_ca
True

Messing up with content

In case that we do mess up things with content (users always do):

>>> from zope.lifecycleevent import modified
>>> portal.invokeFactory('Folder', 'ob2', title=u"An archetypes based doc")
'ob2'
>>> ILanguage(portal['ob2']).set_language('it')
>>> modified(portal['ob2'])
>>> ILanguage(portal['ob2']).get_language()
'it'
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob2']).add_translation('en')
>>> ob2_en = ITranslationManager(portal['ob2']).get_translation('en')

>>> portal.invokeFactory('Folder', 'ob3', title=u"An archetypes based doc")
'ob3'
>>> ILanguage(portal['ob3']).set_language('it')
>>> modified(portal['ob3'])
>>> ILanguage(portal['ob3']).get_language()
'it'
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob3']).add_translation('es')
>>> ob3_es = ITranslationManager(portal['ob3']).get_translation('es')

>>> from OFS.event import ObjectWillBeRemovedEvent
>>> notify(ObjectWillBeRemovedEvent(portal['ob2']))
>>> portal.manage_delObjects('ob2')

>>> notify(ObjectWillBeRemovedEvent(ob3_es))
>>> portal.manage_delObjects(ob3_es.id)

>>> c_old = ITranslationManager(portal['ob3']).query_canonical()
>>> c_new = ITranslationManager(ob2_en).query_canonical()
>>> c_old == c_new
False

>>> isinstance(c_old, str)
True
>>> isinstance(c_new, str)
True

>>> ITranslationManager(ob2_en).register_translation('it', portal['ob3'])

>>> c1 = ITranslationManager(portal['ob3']).query_canonical()
>>> c2 = ITranslationManager(ob2_en).query_canonical()
>>> c1 == c2
True

Other use case, A('it' + 'en') and B('it' + 'es'), and we want A('en') -> B('es'):

>>> portal.invokeFactory('Folder', 'mess1', title=u"An archetypes based doc")
'mess1'
>>> ILanguage(portal['mess1']).set_language('it')
>>> modified(portal['mess1'])
>>> ILanguage(portal['mess1']).get_language()
'it'
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['mess1']).add_translation('en')
>>> mess1_en = ITranslationManager(portal['mess1']).get_translation('en')

>>> portal.invokeFactory('Folder', 'mess2', title=u"An archetypes based doc")
'mess2'
>>> ILanguage(portal['mess2']).set_language('it')
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['mess2']).add_translation('es')
>>> mess2_es = ITranslationManager(portal['mess2']).get_translation('es')

>>> ITranslationManager(mess1_en).register_translation('es', mess2_es)
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['mess2']).get_translation('es')
>>> ITranslationManager(portal['mess1']).get_translation('es')

Default-Adapters

id-chooser:

>>> from plone.multilingual.interfaces import ITranslationIdChooser
>>> chooser = ITranslationIdChooser(portal['ob1-en'])
>>> chooser(portal, 'es')
'ob1-es'

locator:

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).add_translation('es')
>>> child_id = portal.ob1.invokeFactory('Folder', 'ob1_child', language="ca")

>>> from plone.multilingual.interfaces import ITranslationLocator
>>> locator = ITranslationLocator(portal['ob1-en'])
>>> locator('es') == portal
True

>>> child_locator = ITranslationLocator(portal.ob1.ob1_child)
>>> child_locator('es') == portal['ob1-es']
True

>>> ITranslationManager(portal['ob1']).remove_translation('es')

Convert intids to uuids upgrade step

An upgrade step is available in case of having an existing site with the experimental 0.1 plone.multilingual version:

>>> from plone.multilingual.upgrades.to02 import upgrade

You can run the @@pml-upgrade view at the root of your site or follow the upgrade step in portal_setup > upgrades. If you can't see the upgrade step, press Show old upgrades and select the Convert translation based intids to uuids (0.1 → 02)

Upgrade to catalog

>>> from plone.multilingual.upgrades.to03 import upgrade

we shouldn't find the storage-utility anymore:

>>> from plone.multilingual.interfaces import IMultilingualStorage
>>> gsm = portal.getSiteManager()
>>> gsm.queryUtility(IMultilingualStorage) is None
True
