Suggests translations based on a translation memory of previously translated strings in GlotPress.

Description

Ideas for implementation:

  1. Query the originals table for the exact match of the original string.
  • If found, query the translations table for translations of the original string from other projects.
  1. Separate database table to store simplified original strings (originals table, singular column)
  • Column need to have fulltext index for searching.
  • When a new original string is added, it is simplified and stored in the singular column.
  • When a original string is deleted, the corresponding entry in the new table is also deleted.
  • Do a fulltext search on the singular column to find similar original strings (e.g. max 100 results).
  • Found similar strings filter in PHP using a string similarity algorithm (e.g., Levenshtein distance) to find the closest matches (10 with > 80% match).
  • Query the translations table for translations of the similar original strings from other projects.
