meddl_translate

Translates German to Meddlfrängisch. If you don't know what that is, this is not for you.

Example:

fn main() {
  println!("{}", meddl_translate::translate("Hallo"));
}

There's also other examples available:

$ cargo run --example hello

$ cargo run --example long-text

Exceptions

It's possible to exclude words that should not be translated, e. g. "den" by adding it to the "ignored" array in the translation file:

"ignored": [
  "den"
]

To see it in action, run:

$ cargo run --example ignored

Translations file

A dictionary can be found in the src directory.

WebAssembly

The translate function is exported through wasm-bindgen when you build for wasm32-unknown-unknown.

Building

Install the WebAssembly target (once):

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

Install wasm-pack (or cargo install wasm-pack).
From this repository’s root, build the JavaScript + WASM bundle:
```
wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir pkg
```
This writes pkg/ with the .wasm file, a JS glue module, and a package.json. Use --target bundler instead of web if you bundle with Vite, webpack, or similar.

Using it in a web project

Option A — ES modules (--target web)

Copy pkg/ into your site (or depend on the crate via a path/git dependency and run wasm-pack build in your pipeline). In a module script, load the WASM and call translate:

import init, { translate } from './pkg/meddl_translate.js';

async function run() {
  await init(); // fetches and instantiates the WASM
  console.log(translate('Hallo Welt'));
}

run();

Serve the page over HTTP(S); opening file:// URLs usually breaks WASM fetch. Use any static server (e.g. npx serve) during development.

Option B — Bundler (--target bundler)

Build with wasm-pack build --target bundler --out-dir pkg, then import the same module from your bundled app:

import init, { translate } from './pkg/meddl_translate.js';

await init();
translate('Hallo');
