There are many
standards, but little
guidance.
“

Every i18n framework has its own “right way”
of doing things, with a different syntax and file
format.
Developers often hack together their own
solutions to try and simplify the process.
No universality
in the current
standards

How can we make it
BETTER FOR
EVERYONE?

An Ideal Solution
● Consistent
Provide tools that offer a clear and
consistent way for internationalizing
content across all frameworks
● Adaptable
Tools should be extensible and adaptable
and must be able to solve any arising
internationalization and localization
problem
● Contextual
Allow translators to translate in context
from within the application
● Agile
Keep the development cycle agile -
localization must not add significant
overhead for developers - it must be done
in parallel to the development process

An integrated and automated continuous localization

with TMLKit
A Better Way

Translation Caching
No impact on app performance, translations
are loaded from local cache.
Inline Translation Tools
Translation can be done within app context
Access Professional Translators
Connect your application to thousands of
professional translators around the world
Open Source
Source code is available on github
Multiple Platforms
Support for iOS, Rails, Node, PHP, Laravel,
Python, Django, J2EE, Android and more
Universal Translation Memory
Translations are shared across all
applications
Core Benefits of TML SDK

Getting Started

pod "TMLKit"
Integration
// Podfile

Configuration
// main.m
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "AppDelegate.h"
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
@autoreleasepool {
[TML sharedInstanceWithApplicationKey:@"YOUR_APP_KEY"];
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil,
NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class])
);
}
}

Integration Options
● Fully automatic
Just activate the SDK, and we do the rest
● Based on NSLocalizedString macros
Activate the SDK, include our header and we take over
● Using TML macros
Enhance the translations with TML macros

Internationalization
// wrap strings with the tr method
NSLocalizedString(@"Hello World", nil)
// use interpolation
TMLLocalizedString(@"Hello {user}", @{@"user": @"Alex"})
// and many other features of TML syntax...
TMLLocalizedAttributedString(@"Hello [bold: World]")

Translation Markup Language (TML)
● Simple, yet powerful, syntax for marking up application strings.
● Supports language context rules and language cases, making
translations accurate for any language.
● Backwards compatible to standard I18n

TML for Objective C
Basics
Hello World
Identical syntax is available in Rails, PHP, Java, Python, Javascript, Node.JS, Ember, Angular, etc...
TMLLocalizedString(@”Hello World”)

Descriptions
TMLLocalizedString(@”Eats shoots and leaves”, @”a panda”)
Eats shoots and leaves
TMLLocalizedString(@”Eats shoots and leaves”, @”a violent restaurant patron”)

Interpolation
TMLLocalizedString(@”Hello {name}”, @{@”name”: @”John”})
Hello John

Decoration Tokens
Hello WorldWorld
TMLLocalizedAttributedString('Hello <bold>World</bold>', @{
@”bold”: @{
@"font": [UIFont fontWithName:@"ChalkboardSE-Bold" size:14]
}
})
Uses Native Decoration Methods

Decoration Tokens
TMLLocalizedAttributedString(
@”Hello <indent>World</indent>”,
@{@”indent”: @”<strong>{$0}</strong>”]
)
@”Hello <strong>World</strong>”
)
Hello WorldWorld
or

'[bold: {user}] completed [bold: {count || mile}] on [bold: {user | his, her} last run].',
@{
@'user’: userObject,
@'count’: milesCount
}
)
More Complex Example
Michael completed 3 miles on his last run.

TMLLocalizedString(@”Welcome to {user::pos} blog.”, @{
@”user”: @”Michael”
})
Language Cases
Welcome to Michael’s blog.

Ordinals
This is your second warning
TMLLocalizedString('This is your {count::ord} warning', @{
@”count”: @2
})

Genstrings
This is your second warning
$ genstrings ./classes -a TOKEN

Distribution Options
Packaged Bundle
Add a release bundle to your app and it will
be unpacked and configured the first time
application is run.
Dynamic Bundle
Release translations to the CDN and they
will be synced down to your application.

How is Translation Done?
Machine Translation
provided by Google,
Microsoft and Yandex.
Translations are ranked to
get the best result.
Crowdsourced Translation
Some developers may
choose to use their own
users to translate their
content, similar to how
Facebook and Twitter
translated their sites.
Professional Translation
Order are received and
processed by our partners
and are made available in our
system within hours.

● Translations should be reusable across
multiple projects
● Each translation key can have many
translation options for a language based
on context
● Translation keys and translations are
unique and are only stored once in the
entire system
