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

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

In the API, it says:

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

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

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.

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.

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?)

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.

Implement outputting of n-best translations.

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.

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

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

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

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.
