An xpcshell-based approach to Zotero server side translation.

Currently supports import, export, and web translation.

Prerequisites

1. Do a recursive clone of this repository. If you've already cloned it, you can run git submodule update --init --recursive to make sure you have all the files.

2. Download the XULRunner SDK:

   https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_SDK/

   translation-server is currently known to work with XULRunner version 31.

3. Extract the XULRunner SDK into the repository root, which should create a xulrunner-sdk folder, or symlink the SDK from elsewhere on your system to 'xulrunner-sdk'. You do not need to build the SDK.

Configuration

4. Edit config.js and update the "translation-server.translatorsDirectory" preference to reflect the full path to the modules/zotero/translators directory.

Build and Run

5. Run the build.sh script. If all goes well, there should be no output.

   $ ./build.sh
   

6. Run the server:

   $ build/run_translation-server.sh 
   
   zotero(3)(+0000000): HTTP server listening on *:1969
   

7. Try a query!

   $ curl -d '{"url":"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15424060903167229","sessionid":"abc123"}' \
          --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
          127.0.0.1:1969/web
   

Endpoints

Supported endpoints are: /web, /import, /export, and /refresh.
