JSON Example Translated with doloc

Doloc offers a streamlined approach to localizing your application’s content. By utilizing its API, you can efficiently translate your JSON files into multiple languages. Here’s an example to illustrate the process:

Original JSON Files BEFORE localization

en.json:

{
  "greeting": "Ahoy there!",
  "description": "Innovation at your fingertips, shaping tomorrow today.",
  "footer": "Don’t miss out, be a part of the future.",
  "contact": "Let’s get the ball rolling, we’re just a message away!",
  "terms": "If you proceed, you accept the mysteries that lie ahead."
}

de.json:

{
  "greeting": "Ahoi!",
  "description": "Innovation zum Greifen nah bei dir, heute schon das morgen gestalten.",
  "footer": "",
  "contact": "",
  "terms": ""
}

Running the doloc curl command

To translate this file into German using doloc’s API, execute the following curl command (be sure to get your $API_TOKEN in your doloc account):

curl "https://api.doloc.io?sourceLang=en-US&targetLang=de-DE" -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" -F -F source="@en.json" -F target="@de.json" -o de.json

Note: For further customization, refer to the options you can pass as query parameters in the URL! This allows you to tailor the experience to your needs.

JSON Files AFTER localization

After running the command, the translated JSON file will appear as follows:

de.json

{
  "greeting": "Ahoi!",
  "description": "Innovation zum Greifen nah bei dir, heute schon das morgen gestalten",
  "footer": "Verpasse es nicht, sei ein Teil der Zukunft.",
  "contact": "Lass uns ins Rollen kommen, wir sind nur eine Nachricht entfernt!",
  "terms": "Wenn du fortfährst, akzeptierst du die Geheimnisse, die vor dir liegen."
}

This process demonstrates how doloc can seamlessly integrate into your development workflow, providing instant translations and accelerating your application’s localization.
