WordPress SDL翻译的简码

Question

I have some sort of sort of shortcodes like [wp-text text="Lorem Impsum etc" button_text="Read More"][/wp-text] .

I want to extract this shortcode from post content field and then send these two attributes: text and button_text for translation to SDL World Server.

After getting response from SDL, I want to replace that shortcode accordingly.

Any Suggestion or Help?

Here is a suggestion about your approach:

1. Parse the shortcode attributes

Having the content you can parse the variable and extract all short code attributes with the provided Wordpress function shortcode_parse_atts

2. For each parsed value make a API call to the provided SDL World Server REST API ( Or for better performance you can group all the translations and translate them with one complex API call if supported from the API )

3. After getting the response replace the original strings with the translated strings.

Here is example pseudo code in PHP:

$shotcode_attributes = shortcode_parse_atts( $post->post_content );

foreach ( $shortcode_attributes as $attribute => $value ) {
  // Make SDL World Server API call refer to the API documentation for the exact way
  $translated_value = $sdlApiClient->translate( $value );

  // Replace the translated value.
  // You can be more precise here ensuring that the value is inside the shortcode
  $post->post_content = str_replace(
    "{$attribute}=\"{$value}\"", 
    "{$attribute}=\"{$translated_value}\"", 
    $post->post_content
  );
}
