Components / Flex

Component IDs are a nifty means to group related segments.

Typical use cases:

• Localizing software: The strings in a software product are often organized by project, module or namespace. For example, assign a string’s namespace to the component ID.

• Localizing web sites: Assign a unique web page identifier or URL to each segment’s component ID.

When you push new strings or string updates simply set the “component” property with each segment. See documents/{id}/contents/push

Benefits

• When pulling segments, you get back the assigned component ID.

• You can enumerate all components in a Flex document including the segment count. apps/wbflex/documents/{id}/components

• You can get all components that were fully translated “recently”. This makes it easy to deliver back translations, component by component, and language by language. apps/wbflex/documents/{id}/components/status

• Pulling segments by a list of components opens up new horizons for a advanced localization scenarios.
