An example showing how to translate Mustache templates using XML tag-handling. Mustache templates embed tags in literal text and HTML tags; the tags refer to keys in hashes, so they should not be translated.
For example:
Hello {{name}}. You have just won <b>{{value}} dollars</b>!
could be translated into German as:
Hallo {{name}}. Sie haben gerade <b>{{value}} Dollar</b> gewonnen!
Install the deepl Python library.
Define your DeepL auth key as an environment variable DEEPL_AUTH_KEY.
export DEEPL_AUTH_KEY=f63c02c5-f056-...
Run the Mustache translator by running Python on this directory:
python examples/mustache --to de "Hello {{name}}"
For an explanation of the command line arguments, provide the --help option:
python examples/mustache --help
This Mustache translator uses XML tag-handling to preserve the Mustache tags while using the DeepL API to translate. It also handles HTML tags embedded in the Mustache template.
- The input Mustache template is parsed to separate the literal text from the
Mustache tags.
Hello {{name}}. You have just won <b>{{value}} dollars</b>! ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ - The template is modified to replace all Mustache tags with placeholder XML
tags. Unique IDs are attached to each placeholder tag to identify them in the
translated XML.
Hello <m id=0 />. You have just won <b><m id=1 /> dollars</b>! ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ - The XML template is translated using DeepL API.
Hallo <m id=0 />. Sie haben gerade <b><m id=1 /> Dollar</b> gewonnen! - The translated XML is parsed to identify placeholder tags and replace them
with the original Mustache tags.
Hallo {{name}}. Sie haben gerade <b>{{value}} Dollar</b> gewonnen! ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^
