Post edited machine translations cannot currently be downloaded via the API.
It is planned to add this feature in the future.
For the time being you would display the URL where a user can download the results:
- Get the request details (API - IT - List Requests)
- Display Check property pe_ready. If it is true then the post edit is complete and you can use the present method to download the file.
- Display pe_url as as soon as this property is set. It is the hyperlink to track the post edit online.
Please carefully read the error section at the end of this page: In fact in some cases the post edit result must be retrieved by the user from within Wordbee Translator.
URL
(GET) /api/it/requests/postedit/file?token=&id=
PARAMETERS
Parameters are:
token | The session token. |
...
| id | The ID of the translation request. |
RESULTS
The method returns the file as a GZIP compressed binary stream (see Wikipedia). In C#, use the DeflateStream class to decompress the web response stream.
Errors
An HTTP status of 200 indicates success. Other HTTP status values indicate an error. You may get errors if:
- No post edit was ever requested for the file or it is not finished, see the request's pe_ready property.
- The post edited file can only be downloaded manually from within Wordbee Translator, see below. The error ID will be PE_FILE_ONLINE_ONLY.
Files requiring online download
Direct download is possible only if the Wordbee Translator manager delivers the file like this:
- The post-edited file must have the exact same name as the original file.
- The file must be placed inside a sub-folder of the online order. The folder name must be the exact target language code (and not the language name).
The case when a user needs to download the final file online is indicated by a specific HTTP 400 error code: PE_FILE_ONLINE_ONLY. Display the error message in the JSON and make sure to show the hyperlik to access the order online (use the pe_url property of the request, see: API - IT - List Requests).
