Syntax

public abstract class AbstractMachineTranslationProvider : ITranslationProvider

Constructors

AbstractMachineTranslationProvider()

Declaration

protected AbstractMachineTranslationProvider()

Properties

IsReadOnly

See IsReadOnly. The default implementation returns true.

Declaration

public virtual bool IsReadOnly { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Name

See Name. This method is abstract and must be implemented by derived classes.

Declaration

public abstract string Name { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
string

StatusInfo

See StatusInfo. The default implementation only refreshes the status information if it is null, and returns the cached value.

Declaration

public virtual ProviderStatusInfo StatusInfo { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ProviderStatusInfo

SupportedLanguageDirections

Gets the list of language directions which are supported by this machine translation engine. Note that the list may include region-neutral cultures.

Declaration

public abstract IList<LanguagePair> SupportedLanguageDirections { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IList<LanguagePair>

SupportsConcordanceSearch

See SupportsConcordanceSearch. The default implementation returns false.

Declaration

public virtual bool SupportsConcordanceSearch { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

SupportsSearchForTranslationUnits

See SupportsSearchForTranslationUnits. The default implementation returns false.

Declaration

public virtual bool SupportsSearchForTranslationUnits { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

SupportsSourceConcordanceSearch

See SupportsSourceConcordanceSearch. The default implementation returns false.

Declaration

public virtual bool SupportsSourceConcordanceSearch { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

SupportsTargetConcordanceSearch

See SupportsTargetConcordanceSearch. The default implementation returns false.

Declaration

public virtual bool SupportsTargetConcordanceSearch { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

SupportsUpdate

See SupportsUpdate. The default implementation returns false.

Declaration

public virtual bool SupportsUpdate { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

TranslationMethod

See TranslationMethod. The default implementation returns MachineTranslation.

Declaration

public virtual TranslationMethod TranslationMethod { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
TranslationMethod

Uri

See Uri. This method is abstract and must be implemented by derived classes.

Declaration

public abstract Uri Uri { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Uri

Methods

GetLanguageDirection(LanguagePair)

Obtains a translation provider for the specified language direction.

Declaration

public abstract ITranslationProviderLanguageDirection GetLanguageDirection(LanguagePair languageDirection)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
LanguagePair	languageDirection	The language direction

Returns

Type	Description
ITranslationProviderLanguageDirection	A translation provider language direction which matches the provided language direction.

GetStatusInfo()

Gets up-to-date status info for this translation provider.

Declaration

protected abstract ProviderStatusInfo GetStatusInfo()

Returns

Type	Description
ProviderStatusInfo	Status information.

Remarks

This method is called by RefreshStatusInfo().

LoadState(string)

Loads previously serialized state information into this translation provider instance.

Declaration

public virtual void LoadState(string translationProviderState)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	translationProviderState	A string representing the state of translation provider that was previously saved using SerializeState().

Remarks

The format of this string can be decided upon by the translation provider implementation.

The default implementation does not load any state.

RefreshStatusInfo()

See RefreshStatusInfo(). This method is abstract and must be implemented by derived classes.

Declaration

public void RefreshStatusInfo()

SerializeState()

Serializes any meaningful state information for this translation provider that can be stored in projects and sent around the supply chain.

Declaration

public virtual string SerializeState()

Returns

Type	Description
string	A string representing the state of this translation provider that can later be passed into the LoadState(string) method to restore the state after creating a new translation provider.

Remarks

The format of this string can be decided upon by the translation provider implementation.

The default implementation just returns null.

SupportsLanguageDirection(LanguagePair)

Checks whether this machine translation provider supports the specified language direction.

Declaration

public abstract bool SupportsLanguageDirection(LanguagePair languageDirection)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
LanguagePair	languageDirection	The language direction

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the specified language direction is supported, and false otherwise.
