We should add an option that will force the system to treat the request as a single sentence. I suggest segmentSentences=False.

Implement outputting of n-best translations.

It might be useful to have timing info in the result. See, for example:
http://zardoz.service.rug.nl:9070/rpc?action=translate&sourceLang=nl&targetLang=en&text=Dit+is+een+test.

If detokenize=false, should the result (still tokenized) be in "text" or in "tgt-tokenized"?

In the translation output, src-tokenized should always be included if multiple sentences are translated.

Workers should have an option to use no recasers (in case the "main" translation Moses model also handles recasing).

Output actual translation scores.

Nice to have: get scores using some baseline quality estimation approach instead of the rather uninformative translation probability output by Moses.

From the API:

nBestSize: integer -- maximum number of translation options

Should these be unique translations? You can specify the option nbest-distinct to mosesserver. If you don't, you may get ten times the same solutions, but with different scores (and perhaps different alignments?)

In the API, it says:

alignmentInfo: string -- request alignment information (optional, default = "false")

Shouldn't this be type boolean, just like detokenize?

I am not sure the use of the schema in the screenshot below:

Sometimes the XML and JSON files will be translated, i am not sure whether the function is wanting to allow different types of input files to be translated. if so, very cool. What I mean is that the toolkit can allow us to perform multiple translations within a single call through using JSON object. Exactly the same JSON object will be returned back but with translated values.

I think the API should allow more reporting than just errors. Like warnings, debug info, other meta info. But how? Perhaps a single mechanism in combination with errors?

msgLevel: 0 = none, 1 = information, 2 = warning, 3 = error
msgText: "OK"  (for msgLevel 0)

I use a simpler way, just warnings here, but this is not ideal:
http://zardoz.service.rug.nl:9070/rpc?action=translate&sourceLang=en&targetLang=nl&text=This+is+a+test.&nBestSize=3

The API description puts the elements of the n-best list inside translated, but the implementation puts them inside translation. translated then contains the individual sentences of a single n-best list member.

We should unify the behavior of the code with the API description or the other way round, whichever is more reasonable.

Hi, when trying to run this script, I get the following error:

mkdir: cannot create directory /virtualenv': Permission denied ln: failed to create symbolic link./virtualenv': File exists
New python executable in /home/elav01/virtualenv/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.
Installing pip...............done.
install_virtualenv.sh: line 32: virtualenv/bin/activate: No such file or directory

The problem does not occur if I run the script commands one by one from the commandline

Currently, GET requests handle a small subset of arguments accepted by POST. We should unify this (should we?).
