翻訳拡張機能翻訳メモリは複数のバックエンドをサポートします. 利用できるバックエンドとは、データベース、Solr と ElasticSearch です. このページではそれぞれの仕様をより詳細に説明し、利用者に最適のものをインストールする手助けをしていきます.

例えば外部機械翻訳サービスなど他の翻訳支援ソフトとは異なり、この翻訳メモリは利用者のウィキの新しい訳文によって絶えず更新されます. Solr または ElasticSearch を選択した場合、全訳文を対象にした高度な検索 Special:SearchTranslations も利用できます.

比較
既定でデータベースバックエンドを使用. 依存関係はなく設定も不要です. ただし複数のウィキ間でデータベースバックエンドの共有はできず、あるいは大量の翻訳コンテンツの処理はできません. そのため Solr と ElasticSearch のバックエンドもサポートします. 他のウィキの翻訳メモリも、先方の Web API を開いた状態なら使用可能です. 他種のものと異なる点は、利用中のウィキの翻訳を使った、リモートバックエンドの更新はできないことです.

ElasticSearch バックエンド
ElasticSearch is relatively easy to set up. If it is not available in your distribution packages, you can get it from their website. You will also need to get the Elastica extension. Finally, please see for specific configuration needed by Translate.

The bootstrap script will create necessary schemas. If you are using ElasticSearch backend with multiple wikis, they will share the translation memory by default, unless you set the index parameter in the configuration.

When upgrading to the next major version of elasticsearch (e.g. upgrading from 2.x to 5.x), it is highly recommended to read the release notes and the documentation regarding the upgrade process. Elastic offers a migration plugin that may help you to prepare your system before installing the next version. Follow these steps carefully otherwise elasticsearch may refuse to upgrade and you may end up in a delicate situation where you cannot rollback to the previous version.

Once the next major version is installed it's probable that the next time you run  it fails. This is because elasticsearch will perform an internal migration progress that may create an incompatible mapping with the one  wants to update. You have to use the  flag to force a full rebuild of the index.

As a rule of thumb it is recommended to run  with the   flag after major upgrades. You will ensure that your indices are always created with the current elasticsearch version which is a requirement for major upgrades.

Solr backend
Here are the general quick steps for installing and configuring Solr for TTMServer. You should adapt them to your situation.

To use Solr backend you also need Solarium library. The easiest way is to  install the Solarium extension. See the example configuration for Solr backend in the configuration section of this page. You can pass extra configuration to Solarium via the  key as done for example  in the.

インストール
After putting the requirements in place, installation requires you to tweak the configuration and then execute the bootstrap.

Configuration
All translation aids including translation memories are configured with the  configuration variable.

The primary translation memory backend must use the key. The primary backend receives translation updates and is used by Special:SearchTranslations.

Example configuration of TTMServers:

利用できるキーと値は以下の通りです:

現在、対応しているデータベース バックエンドは MySQL のみです.

Bootstrap
When you have chosen Solr or ElasticSearch and set up the requirements and configuration, run  to bootstrap the translation memory. Bootstrapping is also required when changing translation memory backend. If you are using a shared translation memory backend for multiple wikis, you'll need to bootstrap each of them separately.

Sites with lots of translations should consider using multiple threads with the  parameter to speed up the process. The time depends heavily on how complete the message group completion stats are (incomplete ones will be calculated during the bootstrap). New translations are automatically added by a hook. New sources (message definitions) are added when the first translation is created.

Bootstrap does the following things, which don't happen otherwise:
 * adding and updating the translation memory schema;
 * populating the translation memory with existing translations;
 * cleaning up unused translation entries by emptying and re-populating the translation memory.

When the translation of a message is updated, the previous translation is removed from the translation memory. However, when translations are updated against a new definition, a new entry is added but the old definition and its old translations remain in the database until purged. When a message changes definition or is removed from all message groups, nothing happens immediately. Saving a translation as fuzzy does not add a new translation nor delete an old one in the translation memory.

TTMServer API
If you would you like to implement your own TTMServer service, here are the specifications.

クエリのパラメーター:

Your service must accept the following parameters:

Your service must provide a JSON object that must have the key  with an array of objects. Those objects must contain the following data:

例:


 * URL: http://translatewiki.net/w/api.php?action=ttmserver&sourcelanguage=en&targetlanguage=ja&text=january&format=jsonfm

データベース バックエンド
The backend contains three tables:,   and. Those correspond to sources, targets and fulltext. You can find the table definitions in. The sources contain all the message definitions. Even though usually they are always in the same language, say, English, the language of the text is also stored for the rare cases this is not true.

Each entry has a unique id and two extra fields, length and context. Length is used as the first pass filter, so that when querying we don't need to compare the text we're searching with every entry in the database. The context stores the title of the page where the text comes from, for example "MediaWiki:Jan/en". From this information we can link the suggestions back to "MediaWiki:Jan/de", which makes it possible for translators to quickly fix things, or just to determine where that kind of translation was used.

The second pass of filtering comes from the fulltext search. The definitions are mingled with an ad hoc algorithm. First the text is segmented into segments (words) with MediaWiki's. If there are enough segments, we strip basically everything that is not word letters and normalize the case. Then we take the first ten unique words, which are at least 5 bytes long (5 letters in English, but even shorter words for languages with multibyte code points). Those words are then stored in the fulltext index for further filtering for longer strings.

When we have filtered the list of candidates, we fetch the matching targets from the targets table. Then we apply the levenshtein edit distance algorithm to do the final filtering and ranking. Let's define:


 * E :編集距離
 * S :提案を探す元となっている文字列
 * Tc :提案の文章
 * To :Tc が翻訳結果となるような元の文章

The quality of suggestion Tc is calculated as E/min(length(Tc),length(To)). Depending on the length of the strings, we use: either PHP's native levenshtein function; or, if either of the strings is longer than 255 bytes, the PHP implementation of levenshtein algorithm. It has not been tested whether the native implementation of levenshtein handles multibyte characters correctly. This might be another weak point when source language is not English (the others being the fulltext search and segmentation).

Solr バックエンド
Solr Solr search platform backend works similar to the database backend, except that it uses a dedicated search engine for increased speed. The results are by default ranked with the levenshtein algorithm on the Solr side, but other available string matching algorithms can also be used, like ngram matching for example.

In Solr there are no tables. Instead we have documents with fields. Here is an example document:

Each translation has its own document and message documentation has one too. To actually get suggestions we first perform the search sorted by string similarity algorithm for all documents in the source language. Then we do another query to fetch translations if any for those messages.

We are using lots of hooks to keep the translation memory database updated in almost real time. If user translates similar messages one after another, the previous translation can (in the best case) be displayed as suggestion for the next message.

New translation (if not fuzzy)
 * 1) Create document

Updated translation (if not fuzzy)
 * 1) Delete wiki:X language:Y message:Z
 * 2) Create document

Updated message definition All existing documents for the message stay around because globalid is different.
 * 1) Create new document

Translation is fuzzied
 * 1) Delete wiki:X language:Y message:Z

Messages changes group membership
 * 1) Delete wiki:Z message:Z
 * 2) Create document (for all languages)

Message goes out of use Any further changes to definitions or translations are not updated to TM.
 * 1) Delete wiki:Z message:Z
 * 2) Create document (for all languages)

Translation memory query
 * 1) Collect similar messages with strdist("message definition",content)
 * 2) Collect translation with globalid:[A,B,C]

Search query Can be narrowed further by facets on language or group field.
 * 1) Find all matches with text:"search query"

Identifier fields Field  uniquely identifies the translation or message definition by combining the following fields: The used format is.
 * wiki identifier (MediaWiki database id)
 * message identifier (Title of the base page)
 * message version identifier (Revision id of the message definition page)
 * message language

In addition we have separate fields for wiki id, message id and language to make the delete queries listed above possible.
