Translating .json file with Trados Studio Thread poster: Valerie Steinier-Vanderstraeten
|

Hello,
I need to analyze and translate .json files. I have SDL Studio 2009 and 2011. Can anyone tell me how I can do that or what tool I should use?
Thanks in advance, for your help,
Valerie

You can find a short video here that explains how to create a filetype like this (the example file may not be the same... it was an LNG file... but the process will be) : http://wp.me/p2xDjK-1d
If this doesn't help, and if you are allowed to share the file I'll be happy to take a look at it for you?

Thanks Paul, I appreciate the information.
I cannot share the file though. You can see info on .json files here http://www.json.org/.
I can open the file in TextEditor for example and I can see what content needs translation, but I'd like to be able to use a CAT tool such as Studio 2009 or Wordfast Pro.
I'll have a look at the video as well,
Thanks, Valerie

| The Okapi Rainbow toolkit has a JSON filter | Jun 1, 2013 |
Convert JSON into xliff for example and translate with the CAT you like.
Do reverse conversion with Okapi Rainbow too.

| Quite a few options there... | Jun 1, 2013 |
... but perhaps the suggestion from Piotr will help?
I took a quick look at the first one linked from the site you provided and it gives this as an example:
<!--#include file="JSON_latest.asp"-->
<%
Dim member
Set member = jsObject()
member("name") = "Tuğrul"
member("surname") = "Topuz"
member("message") = "Hello World"
member.Flush
%>
So one fast method for this would be to add the ... See more

Dear Piotr,
I'll try installing Rainbow and convert into xliff as you mention.
Dear Paul,
I created the regex filetype in Studio 2009. I can indeed translate the file in the ditor, but I cannot analyze the file for matches. At least I have not figured that out yet.
Working on it...
Thanks again for your help.
I'm not a techie by any means...

Hi Valerie,
You just created a filetype and it works in less than 5 minutes... you sound like a techie to me
To analyze the file it's simple. Save your file after opening and this will create a single file project in the background and also activate all the batch tasks. You can then select the Analyse Batch task to analyse your file against your TM. There's a little info on this approach here : http://wp.me/p2xDjK-1A

Thanks Paul,
It worked. I managed to create the fitletype, open the document, save it to convert it to an xliff file and analzed it. THANK YOU!
Val
Now I'm going to try to do the same with a .po file...

Hi Paul,
I think it is only for Studio 2011. I have Studio 2009.
I will check again though, thanks.
Valerie
update: When login in to download the po plugin on Openexchanage I get a message that says " You are not licensed for any SDL products that link with this application".
I imagine it is because I'm on 2009 version.
If you know of a workaround or other info, thanks in advance.

Online help files and an active user support group is available.
If you drop a json file onto the input list 1 (the file type should be recognized automatically), set languages and encodings you can proceed with translation kit creation. You can choose to generate a XLIFF file, which Studio will recognize.
When you get the xliff file back from studio, you drop it where you took it from, and then in translation kit post processing, you do not put the xliff file in the input list, but a file with the *.rkm extension.

Several colleagues use Wordfast Pro for translating JSON files.
Kind regards,

| Localization tool to translate JSON | May 7, 2015 |
I see this post is a bit dated, but just in case someone reaches it looking for a solution to translate JSON files, I will suggest the translation platform https://poeditor.com/
It is a cloud solution, with a simple interface, and it can be used for collaborative translation. Also worth mentioning that it features translation memory.
