Use glossary with DeepL

[fletchgqc]

DeepL allows you to specify a glossary ID. Could you please add this feature?

Ahh, I found it in the code, undocumented. What would be nice is if it worked with TSV. That's what DeepL needs in the end anyway. And your average non-technical translators are going to maintain their glossaries in Google sheets or something, which exports nicely to TSV.

OK I converted my TSV to json, so that it can be converted back to TSV by json-autotranslate :). Unfortunately the request to DeepL fails with a 400. I think the API calls might need to be checked/updated.

To use glossary we need to download each deepl glossaries for each languages, then you get a csv like so :
"CGU","AGB","FR","DE"
"CGV","AGB","FR","DE"
"CR","Protokoll","FR","DE"

Then we need to convert to json to get a file named like fr-de.json (source-target.json) and with content like so :
{
"CGU": "AGB",
"CGV": "AGB",
"CR": "Protokoll"
}

But unfortunately, the api call to create glossary into deepl give me this error :
The request to create glossaries failed with error code: 456 : Unrecoverable Error

Thanks in advance,

P.S : It seems deepl api v3 is out and we still use deepl api v2 inside json-autotranslate

EDIT : I found out i got error 456 because of "Too many glossaries". I'm on deepl-free-api and it seems we are limited to one only glossary with max 1000 entries.

It seems deepl has updated their limits for deepl free api subscribers : now it's only 1 glossaries.
So we need to upgrade to deepl pro in order to have multiple glossaries.
That's because deepl create automatically a default glossary impossible to delete...

EDIT : if we specify --appName NameOfGlossary the we are able to retrieve the current glossary and use it ! We also need to use automaticGlossary by adding -g with no arguments when using json-autotranslate like so :
npx json-autotranslate -g --appName NameOfGlossary [...]
