Using OKAPI Framework

September 23, 2011

In the back office, iL10Nz is using the OKAPI framework based on a WEBService.

OKAPI framework is a great Java tool developped by people from the localization arena and provided great support. Many components are included in this framework such as Rainbow, CheckMate etc.. but from my usage, I only use the Core part which are the different classes.

I have built my own interface to provide WebService support to some specific functionalities in order to connect with iL10Nz parsers in PHP. OKAPI has a great list of filters that can handle the industry file format such XLIFF, TMX, etc.. but it can be easily extended to manage other formats.

Using iL10Nz Web Service

Recently, I have added a WebService connected to iL10Nz. This web service is running the OKAPI framework in JAVA. This addition extends the possibility to create parsers and to manage the translation within iL10Nz.

Basically, using the iL10Nz WebService is the same as using a PHP parser. The handling of one file types can be overriden by a customized parser in the project scope.

In order to know which file type will be taken by the Web Service, you need to check the file type description if it is supported by OKAPI.

So far I am using only this web service since the OKAPI framework is really flexible and can take almost any file types.
