#amara

hi maggie_s - how was your time off ?

janeted: good morning, any news on the thumbs?

sorry no not yet, i haven't overlapped with the person I'm looking for. I'll catch up with him today ( I promise )

no worries - have lots of stuff to implement

I'll make a ticket for it - that way it's in there and I won't forget.

I have another question as well http://amara.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api.html...

sure

I cant get the ?format thing to work

if nothing, default is json and not srt as stated, I guess something is changed?

it's not a big issue, I can parse the json and create VTT:s myself. But I guess your system does that since I can download VTT from the web.

no it's possible to get that.

1 sec.

for example: here's a request in the browser

be sure you aren't overriding the content somewhere else in your request.

thanks .. works fine on the web, exact same query via curl don't work, but that means it's my code or something else … will research ...

It also works for me when I make the request via the chrome REST api, and I have test cases for each format (python requests library)

and they all pass.

yeah … must be something in my request .. will make a separate function for it and test that … thanks again!

how you are you embedding videos on the site ?

on your site? or ours?

your site?

jwplayer

we have an embedder that may simplify your life, depending on what you need.

is the demo

thanks, but we have loads and loads of custom code around the player …

I see

this is where it's used: http://guld.moderskeppet.se/kurser/kurs/grunder...

(in swedish)

zombieF, looks nice.

thanks

zombieF, there's a huge blue box around the video that's selected for playing.

I know, it's a bug on the todo-list, it's just when watching free courses and when you are not logged in …

ok - I won't bother you

no problem, it's appreciated!

I've nagged on my colleague about it too :)

aaaaaah found the bug … I send Accept: application/json in the header … doh!

nope … not the issue … sorry will stop typing now :D

janeted: found the problem, totally my fault. Thanks for the help!

np

(I json-decoded all responses, and the subtitle is not json-formatted :/ putting on the dumb-hat and heads for the corner!

zombieF, just glad you found it.

zombieF, re thumbnails: https://github.com/pculture/unisubs/issues/1278

I'll put whatever answer I get in there

janeted: thanks - added a comment and subscribed!

zombieF, now that I see your real name, I can't just think of you as some odd zombie.

janeted: LOL :D

actually it's the wrong sirname, got married last summer, will change ..

Hello! Is there any Bugzilla instance for Amara? Or anything similar?

janeted: ping

hello Besnik_b

I replied to your email

we are on github.com/pculture/unisubs/issues - or support.amara.org

what's that issue you have?

Hello :) not knowing which side of Atlantic you reside, I thought you might still be sleeping

That's why I didn't ping before

I'm actually just 2 countries to your north if you live in albania

janeted: There's, for the moment, a phrase made up of three strings

(He he, three then, as I'm on a Greek island)

1, msgid "Create Subtitles"

2, a language/locale name

3. msgid " Subtitles"

Oops sorry 1 should be just Create

So you get: Create French Subtitles

But for many language it doesn't fit that vay

sq is one of them, but I believe many other are affected

that makes sense.

so would it be better to use the preposition?

I can't get a workaround if the locale string remains in the middle

Create subtitles in French ?

yes, or have the locale name as a parameter we can move within the phrase

if the string was "Create %s Subtitles" I could handle it

I see - can you put an issue in github with the example and then I'll talk to the devs about it today - figure out the best way to solve it and get the strings updated.

I'm sure there's probably a few other spots as well.

Sure. Thank you!

btw - Besnik_b I was really impressed with how fast you did those translations - I was speculating that you stayed up all night translating.

janet: May I ask you to put a link on support.amara about the github? Somewhere big and bold.

I'm not 100% sure we want to do that as we prefer to direct most user tickets into freshdesk and keep github cleaner for developement tickets

most tickets are for support issues - if something is more, than we'll put it into github and fix it.

janeted: Perhaps you missed my comment to your announcement. I previuosly had sq almost 100%. And then all these years I've accumulated a huge TM which makes me seem like having an army of translation slaves ready at any time :D

TM?

Translation Memory

I'm a monoglot (mostly) and am not capable of doing translations

is that TM in your brain or you have a program which works magic?

TM refers to a computer database os trnslation strings.

got it - had to ask

yes, having clear references on your head helps, but TM speeds up the whole thing and helps consistency

Yes, there are programs using it, Poedit is my favourite. It scans your .pot and fills out any match with vhat it finds in TM, marking them as fuzzy translation.

Then all you have is to review and make adjustments to the fuzzy ones and attack the untranslated ones. Even in terms of typing efficiency it is much qucik having a part of your sentence already there.

very cool - but I think I prefer the image of a slave army of translators

janeted: Done. https://github.com/pculture/unisubs/issues/1283

hi, janeted invited me to join because i have some questions regarding the api

we have the following scenario: our users are kids and we want to make sure their videos are not distributed freely on the web. in oder to achieve this, we use s3 with urls that time out after a short period

is it possible to do something like that from your side?

this would mean implementing url signing for s3 on your part

thomasschindler, I think ehazlett is the person that you'd need to talk to, as he's working on something similar for some of our own hosted urls

thx janeted - hi ehazlett, that sounds interesting. can you tell me more?

thomasschindler, ehazlett will have to give you the details, he's US midwest, so may not be on yet -

ok. thx

question: what would the expected output for this request be? curl -k -H 'X-api-username: USERNAMEHERE' -H 'X-apikey: APIKEYHERE' https://universalsubtitles.org/api2/partners/vi...

if the account does not have any videos yet?

thomasschindler, I think you need the team parameter

but it should just 0 videos

ok, i took it straight from the doc, so it expects team as an additional parameter?

btw sending any request to staging times out on me

for the above request i receive the ngnix default 301 message
