Translate Data API

An API that takes an input of translated scripts (array of strings) and outputs formatted JSON data.

The API detects and separates out the data into:

• Metadata
• English
• Persian

For example, this input data:

["This is very futuristic.""DAVE:", " این خیلی آینده‌نگرانه است..", "Yes", "MARCIE MILLER:", "بله "]

Would output:

{
    "script": [
        {
            "english": "This is very futuristic.",
            "meta": "DAVE",
            "farsi": " این خیلی آینده‌نگرانه است.."
        },
        {
            "english": "Yes",
            "meta": "MARCIE MILLER",
            "farsi": " بله "
        }
    ]
}

Setup

Clone this repo by running:

git clone git@github.com:sarahrainbow/translate-data.git
cd translate-data

Install dependencies by running:

npm install

Make a Request

POST /translate

Request body: array of strings e.g.

["This is very futuristic.""DAVE:", " این خیلی آینده‌نگرانه است.."]

Local Development

To install the dependencies run

npm i

To run development environment on localhost:8080

npm start

Using an API testing tool (e.g. Postman) make a POST request with the input json data in the Body field with the route http://localhost:8080/translate

On SEND this should yield the converted output in the same format as the following example:

{
    "script": [
        {
            "english": "This is very futuristic.",
            "meta": "DAVE",
            "farsi": " این خیلی آینده‌نگرانه است.."
        },
        {
            "english": "Yes",
            "meta": "MARCIE MILLER",
            "farsi": " بله "
        }
    ]
}

Testing

To run the tests:
