import-terminology¶

Description¶

Creates or updates a custom terminology, depending on whether or not one already exists for the given terminology name. Importing a terminology with the same name as an existing one will merge the terminologies based on the chosen merge strategy. Currently, the only supported merge strategy is OVERWRITE, and so the imported terminology will overwrite an existing terminology of the same name.

If you import a terminology that overwrites an existing one, the new terminology take up to 10 minutes to fully propagate and be available for use in a translation due to cache policies with the DataPlane service that performs the translations.

Synopsis¶

  import-terminology
--name <value>
--merge-strategy <value>
[--description <value>]
[--terminology-data <value>]
[--encryption-key <value>]
--data-file <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--name (string)

The name of the custom terminology being imported.

--merge-strategy (string)

The merge strategy of the custom terminology being imported. Currently, only the OVERWRITE merge strategy is supported. In this case, the imported terminology will overwrite an existing terminology of the same name.

Possible values:

OVERWRITE

--description (string)

The description of the custom terminology being imported.

--terminology-data (structure)

The terminology data for the custom terminology being imported.

Format -> (string)

The data format of the custom terminology. Either CSV or TMX.

Shorthand Syntax:

Format=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Format": "CSV"|"TMX"
}

--encryption-key (structure)

The encryption key for the custom terminology being imported.

Type -> (string)

The type of encryption key used by Amazon Translate to encrypt custom terminologies.

Id -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the encryption key being used to encrypt the custom terminology.

Shorthand Syntax:

Type=string,Id=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Type": "KMS",
  "Id": "string"
}

--data-file (blob)

The path to the file of the code you are uploading. Example: fileb://data.csv

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To import a custom terminology from a file

The following import-terminology example creates a terminology called MyTestTerminology from the test-terminology.csv file:

aws translate import-terminology \
    --name MyTestTerminology \
    --description "Creating a test terminology in AWS Translate" \
    --merge-strategy OVERWRITE \
    --data-file fileb://test-terminology.csv \
    --terminology-data Format=CSV

Contents of test-terminology.csv:

en,fr,es,zh Hello world!,Bonjour tout le monde!,Hola Mundo!,???? Amazon,Amazon,Amazon,Amazon

Output:

{
    "TerminologyProperties": {
        "SourceLanguageCode": "en",
        "Name": "MyTestTerminology",
        "TargetLanguageCodes": [
            "fr",
            "es",
            "zh"
        ],

        "TermCount": 6,
        "Arn": "arn:aws:translate:us-west-2:123456789012:terminology/MyTestTerminology/LATEST",
        "Description": "Creating a test terminology in AWS Translate"
    }
}
