D-Bus examples

Here are some code snippets for various programming languages showing how you can interface with Apertium by means of D-Bus. You'll need to install the D-Bus service for Apertium.

Python

#!/usr/bin/python
# coding=utf-8
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-

import dbus, sys, codecs;

sys.stdin = codecs.getwriter('utf-8')(sys.stdin);
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf-8')(sys.stdout);

pair_name = 'en-af';
dbus_pair_name = '/' + '_'.join(pair_name.split('-'));

bus = dbus.SessionBus();

translator = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('org.apertium.mode', dbus_pair_name), 'org.apertium.Mode')

input = sys.stdin.read();

print translator.translate({}, input);
