Apertium-APy stands for "Apertium API in Python". It's a simple Apertium API server written in Python 3, meant as a drop-in replacement for ScaleMT. Its primary/intended purpose is requests from web applications, though it's fairly versatile. It is currently found in the SVN under trunk/apertium-tools/apertium-apy, where servlet.py contains the relevant web server bits. The server is used by front ends like apertium-html-tools (on apertium.org) and Mediawiki Content Translation.
The http://apertium.org page uses the installation at http://apy.projectjj.com which currently only runs released language pairs (also available from https://www.apertium.org/apy if you prefer). However, APY is very easy to set up on your own server, where you can run all the development pairs and even analysers and taggers (like what http://turkic.apertium.org does), read on for how to do that.
Installation
See /Debian for a complete quickstart installation guide for Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc that uses the prebuilt binaries.
First, install apertium/lttoolbox/apertium-lex-tools, and your language pairs. See Installation for how to do this.
You should have Python 3.3 or newer (though 3.2 has been reported to work as of 324a185).
APY uses Tornado 3.1 or newer as its web framework. Ensure that you install the Python 3.3 (or newer) versions of any dependencies. On Debian/Ubuntu, you can do
sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev python3-pip zlib1g-dev subversion sudo pip3 install --upgrade tornado
Then checkout APY from SVN and run it:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/trunk/apertium-tools/apertium-apy cd apertium-apy ./servlet.py /usr/share/apertium # the server will use all .mode files from under this directory, use /usr/local/share/apertium for "make install"ed pairs
See ./servlet.py --help for documentation on how to start APY. Here are some popular optional arguments:
- -l --lang-names: path to sqlite3 database of localized language names (see #List localised language names; you should include this if you're using apertium-html-tools)
- -p --port: port to run server on (2737 by default)
- -c --ssl-cert: path to SSL certificate
- -k --ssl-key: path to SSL key file
- -j --num-processes: number of http processes to run (default = 1; use 0 to run one http server per core, where each http server runs all available language pairs)
- -s --nonpairs-path: include .mode files from this directory, like with the main arg, but skip translator (pair) modes, only include analyser/translator/generator modes from this directory (handy for use with apertium SVN)
- -f --missing-freqs: path to sqlite3 database of words that were unknown (requires
sudo apt-get install sqlite3
) - -i --max-pipes-per-pair: how many pipelines we can have per language pair (per http server), default = 1
- -u --max-users-per-pipe: if there are this many concurrent users in the least-used pipeline of a pair (and we haven't reached max-pipes-per-pair), start a new pipeline (default = 5)
- -m --max-idle-secs: after each translation request, go through the list of language pairs and shut down any pair that hasn't been used in the last MAX_IDLE_SECS seconds (to save on RAM)
- -n --min-pipes-per-pair: when shutting down idle pairs, keep at least this many open (default = 0)
- -r --restart-pipe-after: if a pipeline has been used for this many requests, shut it down (to avoid possible memory creep if a pair has bugs) after it has handled its current requests
Installing dependencies without root
If you don't have root, you can still install the python dependencies with
$ pip3 install --user --upgrade tornado
(But your server still needs build-essential python3-dev python3-pip zlib1g-dev
installed.)
Then you just need to run
PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages:${PYTHONPATH}"; export PYTHONPATH
before starting APY.
Installing dependencies without root nor pip3
Your server still needs python3 (and probably code>build-essential python3-dev zlib1g-dev), but this is simpler if you don't want to mess with pip.
Just go to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tornado/#downloads and get the newest version .tar.gz source release; say it got stored as ~/Nedlastingar/tornado-4.3.tar.gz, then do
cd apertium-apy tar xf ~/Nedlastingar/tornado-4.3.tar.gz ( cd tornado-4.3 && python3 setup.py build ) ln -s tornado-4.3/build/lib*/tornado tornado
Optional features
List localised language names
If you use apertium-html-tools, you probably want localised language names instead of three-letter codes. To get this, first install sqlite3 (on Debian/Ubuntu that's sudo apt-get install sqlite3
), then do
make
to create the langNames.db used for the /listLanguageNames
function.
Language identification
The /identifyLang
function can provide language identification.
If you install Compact Language Detection 2 (CLD2), you get fast and fairly accurate language detection. Installation can be a bit tricky though.
- Ubuntu: see http://blog.xanda.org/2014/04/02/installing-compact-language-detection-2-cld2-on-ubuntu/
- Arch Linux: install python-cld2-hg from AUR.
Alternatively, you can start servlet.py with the -s argument pointing to a directory of language pairs with analyser modes, in which case APY will try to do language detection by analysing the text and finding which analyser had the least unknowns. This is a bit slow though :-)
APY will prefer using CLD2 if it's available, otherwise fall back to analyser coverage.
Usage
APY supports three types of requests: GET, POST, and JSONP. Using GET/POST are possible only if APY is running on the same server as the client due to cross-site scripting restrictions; however, JSONP requests are permitted in any context and will be useful. Using curl, APY can easily be tested:
curl -G --data "lang=kaz-tat&modes=morph&q=алдым" http://localhost:2737/perWord
It can also be tested through your browser or through HTTP calls. Unfortunately, curl does not decode JSON output by default and to make testing easier, a APY Sandbox is provided in the SVN with Apertium-html-tools.
URL | Function | Parameters | Output |
---|---|---|---|
/listPairs | List available language pairs |
|
To be consistent with ScaleMT, the returned JS Object contains a responseData key with an Array of language pair objects with keys sourceLanguage and targetLanguage .
$ curl 'http://localhost:2737/listPairs' {"responseStatus": 200, "responseData": [ {"sourceLanguage": "kaz", "targetLanguage": "tat"}, {"sourceLanguage": "tat", "targetLanguage": "kaz"}, {"sourceLanguage": "mk", "targetLanguage": "en"} ], "responseDetails": null} |
/list | List available mode information |
|
The returned JS Object contains a mapping from language pairs to mode names (used internally by Apertium).
$ curl 'http://localhost:2737/list?q=analyzers' {"mk-en": "mk-en-morph", "en-es": "en-es-anmor", "kaz-tat": "kaz-tat-morph", "tat-kaz": "tat-kaz-morph", "fin": "fin-morph", "es-en": "es-en-anmor", "kaz": "kaz-morph"} $ curl 'http://localhost:2737/list?q=generators' {"en-es": "en-es-generador", "fin": "fin-gener", "es-en": "es-en-generador"} $ curl 'http://localhost:2737/list?q=taggers' {"es-en": "es-en-tagger", "en-es": "en-es-tagger", "mk-en": "mk-en-tagger", "tat-kaz": "tat-kaz-tagger", "kaz-tat": "kaz-tat-tagger", "kaz": "kaz-tagger"} |
/translate | Translate text |
For more about formatting, please see Format Handling. |
To be consistent with ScaleMT, the returned JS Object contains a responseData key with an JS Object that has key translatedText that contains the translated text.

SSL
APY supports HTTPS out of the box. To test with a self-signed signature, create a certificate and key by running:
openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.key -out server.crt -days 365 -nodes
Then run APY with --sslKey server.key --sslCert server.crt
, and test with HTTPS and the -k argument to curl (-k means curl accepts self-signed or even slightly "lying" signatures):
curl -k -G --data "mode=kaz-tat&q=Сен+бардың+ба?" https://localhost:2737/analyze
If you have a real signed certificate, you should be able to use curl without -k for the domain which the certificate is signed for:
curl -G --data "mode=kaz-tat&q=Сен+бардың+ба?" https://oohlookatmeimencrypted.com:2737/analyze
Remember to open port 2737 to your server.
Gateway
A gateway for APY is located in the same SVN directory and provides functionality such as silently intercepting and forwarding requests, and aggregating APY instance capabilities for overriding /list
requests. For example, a gateway provided access to two servers with varied capabilities, in terms of language pairs, will report aggregated capabilities to the client, hiding the existence of two servers.
A list of APY servers is a required positional argument; an example server list is provided in the same SVN directory. If the gateway is requested to run on a already occupied port, it will attempt to traverse the available ports until it can bind on to a free one.
The gateway currently operates on a Fastest paradigm load balancer that continuously adapts to changing circumstances by basing its routing on the client's requests. On initialization, all servers are assigned a weight of 0 and consequently, each server will be eventually utilized as the gateway determines the server speeds. The gateway stores a moving average of the last x requests for each (mode, language)
and forwards requests to the fastest server as measured in units of response time per response length.
Running on init
Systemd
See Apy/Debian for the quickstart.
Running as a --user unit
If you want to be able to start and stop apy as a non-root user, you'll first have to get your administrator to run some commands. Say your user is named "tussenvoegsel", the admin will have to do:
sudo apt-get install dbus libpam-systemd # or dnf on Fedora etc. sudo loginctl enable-linger tussenvoegsel
To read the logs without sudo, admin will also have to enable persistent logs (see below).
Then as your "tussenvoegsel" user, do
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/ git clone https://github.com/goavki/apertium-apy cp ~/apertium-apy/tools/systemd/apy.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
Now edit .config/systemd/user/apy.service and remove PrivateTmp, set the User to "tussenvoegsel" (or whatever it is) and WorkingDirectory/ExecStart paths to /home/tussenvoegsel/apertium-apy.
Here's a full example apy.service file:
$ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/apy.service [Unit] Description=Translation server and API for Apertium Documentation=http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Apertium-apy After=network.target [Service] WorkingDirectory=/home/tussenvoegsel/apertium-apy ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/tussenvoegsel/apertium-apy/servlet.py /usr/share/apertium/modes Restart=always WatchdogSec=10s [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
You should now be able to do:
systemctl --user daemon-reload # re-read the edited apy.service file systemctl --user start apy # start apy immediately systemctl --user stop apy # stop apy immediately systemctl --user enable apy # make apy start after next reboot systemctl --user status apy # check if apy is running journalctl -f --user-unit apy # follow the apy logs journalctl -n100 --user-unit apy # show last 100 lines of apy logs curl 'localhost:2737/listPairs' # show installed pairs curl 'localhost:2737/translate?q=ja+nu&langpair=sme|nob' # translate some words
Persistent logs
By default, logs are not persistent across reboots nor readable without sudo. The below commands fix this:
sudo mkdir /var/log/journal sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald
Upstart
You can use upstart scripts to automatically run the apy and html-tools on startup and respawn the processes when they get killed. If you don't have upstart installed: sudo apt-get install upstart
The apertiumconfig file contains paths of some apertium directories and the serverlist file. It can be saved anywhere. Make sure the paths are correct!
/home/user/apertiumconfig
APERTIUMPATH=/home/user APYPATH=/home/user/apertium-apy SERVERLIST=/home/user/serverlist HTMLTOOLSPATH=/home/user/apertium-html-tools #optional, see 'Logging': LOGFILE=/home/user/apertiumlog
The following upstart scripts have to be saved in /etc/init
.
apertium-all.conf
description "start/stop all apertium services" start on startup
apertium-apy.conf
description "apertium-apy init script" start on starting apertium-all stop on stopped apertium-all respawn respawn limit 50 300 env CONFIG=/etc/default/apertium script . $CONFIG python3 $APYPATH/servlet.py $APERTIUMPATH end script
apertium-apy-gateway.conf
description "apertium-apy gateway init script" start on starting apertium-all stop on stopped apertium-all respawn respawn limit 50 300 env CONFIG=/home/user/apertiumconfig script . $CONFIG python3 $APYPATH/gateway.py $SERVERLIST end script
apertium-html-tools.conf
description "apertium-html-tools init script" start on starting apertium-all stop on stopped apertium-all respawn respawn limit 50 300 env CONFIG=/etc/default/apertium script . $CONFIG cd $HTMLTOOLSPATH python3 -m http.server 8888 end script
Use sudo start apertium-all
to start all services. Just like the filenames, the jobs are called apertium-apy
, apertium-apy-gateway
and apertium-html-tools
.
The jobs can be independently started by: sudo start JOB
You can stop them by using sudo stop JOB
Restart: sudo restart JOB
View the status and PID: sudo status JOB
Logging
The log files of the processes can be found in the /var/log/upstart/
folder.
The starting/stopping of the jobs can be logged by appending this to the end of apertium-apy.conf
, apertium-apy-gateway.conf
and apertium-html-tools.conf
files.
pre-start script . $CONFIG touch $LOGFILE echo "`date` $UPSTART_JOB started" >> $LOGFILE end script post-stop script . $CONFIG touch $LOGFILE echo "`date` $UPSTART_JOB stoppped" >> $LOGFILE end script
TODO
- hfst-proc -g and lrx-proc don't work with null-flushing, see https://sourceforge.net/p/hfst/bugs/240/ and https://sourceforge.net/p/apertium/tickets/45/
- translation cache
- variants like ca_valencia, oc_aran and pt_BR look odd on the web page?
- gateway: we need a way to have a second server running only the most popular language pairs, and a gateway that sends requests to whichever server has the requested pair. Simply doing -j2 is not a good solution, since we'd waste a lot of RAM on keeping open pipelines that are rarely used. (Or we could turn off pipelines after not being used for a while …)
Troubleshooting
forking problems on systemd 228

on systems with systemd>=228 and linux>=4.3, then it's likely you're bumping the TaskMax systemd attribute which puts a limit of 512 tasks per cgroup(?) or 4096 per user (similar to ulimit task limits). See http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/253903/creating-threads-fails-with-resource-temporarily-unavailable-with-4-3-kernel/255603#255603 for info; basically you want to change the DefaultTasksMax or UserTasksMax settings.
logging errors
If you encounter errors involving enable_pretty_logging()
while starting APY, comment out the line with a leading #
to solve the issue.
- What was the error? This should be possible to fix / work around.
High IO usage
If you are logging unknowns (-f / --missing-freqs), you should probably also give some value to -M (e.g. -M1000), otherwise you might get a lot of disk usage on that sqlite file.
'return' with argument inside generator on python 3.2 or older
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./servlet.py", line 25, in <module> import translation File "translation.py", line 132 return proc_reformat.communicate()[0].decode('utf-8') SyntaxError: 'return' with argument inside generator
Solution: upgrade to Python 3.3 or newer.
