This interface defines a Translation Provider Factory class that can be used as a plug-in based on the Sdl.Core.PluginFramework Extensions API

Namespace: Sdl.LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemoryApi

Assembly: Sdl.LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemoryApi.dll

Syntax

public interface ITranslationProviderFactory

Remarks

Implementations of this class should be marked up with a TranslationProviderFactoryAttribute extension attribute in order for the factory to be available.

Methods

CreateTranslationProvider(Uri, String, ITranslationProviderCredentialStore)

Creates an instance of the translation provider defined by the specified URI.

Declaration

ITranslationProvider CreateTranslationProvider(Uri translationProviderUri, string translationProviderState, ITranslationProviderCredentialStore credentialStore)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Uri	translationProviderUri	A URI that identifies the translation provider to create.
System.String	translationProviderState	Serialized state information that should be used for configuring the translation provider. This is typically state information that was previously saved by calling SerializeState().
ITranslationProviderCredentialStore	credentialStore	A credential store object that can be used to retrieve credentials required for this translation provider.

Returns

Type	Description
ITranslationProvider	A new translation provider object, ready to be used.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentNullException	Thrown if translationProviderUri, translationProviderState or credentialStore is null.
System.ArgumentException	Thrown if translationProviderUri is not supported by this factory.
System.ArgumentException	Thrown if translationProviderState is invalid.
TranslationProviderAuthenticationException	Thrown when no appropriate credentials are available in the credential store.

GetTranslationProviderInfo(Uri, String)

Gets general information for the specified translation provider.

Declaration

TranslationProviderInfo GetTranslationProviderInfo(Uri translationProviderUri, string translationProviderState)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Uri	translationProviderUri	A translation provider URI, representing the translation provider.
System.String	translationProviderState	Optional translation provider state information, which can be used to determine certain aspects of the general information.

Returns

Type	Description
TranslationProviderInfo	A TranslationProviderInfo object, containing general information that allows an application to query the translation provider without having to instantiate it.

Remarks

Note that this method can potentially be called very frequently so it is not advisable to instantiate the translation provider within its implementation.
