8.8 Why do I need to provide 7 languages?

nobody@ipernity.com (FAQ) — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:08:08 +0000

FAQ has posted:

← Back to Index

Ipernity is an international community. To offer our members and visitors a comfortable user experience, our website is provided in seven languages. An integrated AI-based translator makes it easy to read image titles, image descriptions, comments and blogs.

However, the internal search engine on our website cannot utilise this translator. Group titles that have only been created in a single language will therefore not be found if the search term is written in another language. For example, a group with the title "Finland" (English) will not be found if someone searches for "Finnland" (German). This is undesirable.

Group descriptions that have only been entered in one language also only appear in this single language. This is not very user-friendly. It could also lead to irritation among visitors if they do not see a description in their selected display language. It might give the impression that this is a program error, which would be very damaging to our image.

To avoid these disadvantages, it is essential to provide the group titles and descriptions in all seven languages which are supported by our website when administrating a group. This is very easy to do with the help of the now very good online translators.

The technical steps

1) Click on "Administration" in the selection menu of the relevant group. A subpage will open. Click on the menu item "Title, description, roles". Another subpage with input panels will open:

2) In the left-hand selection menu, the language that was used when the group was created will appear by default. For older groups, if the text is available in your current language setting, that will be displayed.

3) You will see the initially entered title and description, which you may choose to edit. The title should be as short and concise as possible. Avoid special characters or flowery prose. Either of which could make it harder to find the group via the search function. Also, keeping it simple will likely lead to better electronic translations. Ideally, the description too should be kept short, such that the 'About...' panel is not overly expanded. This will help users quickly understand the focus of the group.

By making full use of this feature, it means one need not have a title with a mix of languages. And in the case of descriptions, keeping them shorter for the display.

4) Open the online translator DeepL in a separate browser window. For the right-hand panel, select the desired output language. Now place both the title and description into the left-hand input panel. The translator automatically recognizes the source language. The translated text then appears on the right. If your source text consists of simple sentences, it is generally error-free.

5) Select and copy the translation. Go back to ipernity. Select the relevant language in the menu in the open input screen of the group administration. Paste the translated text from DeepL.

⚠️ Use the blue Save button before selecting a different language!

6) Perform these steps for all 7 supported languages.

7) Verify that everything has been transferred and saved correctly. You can do this by clicking through all 7 languages in the left hand selection panel.

You have been used to seeing some photos in a group and those particular photos are not there anymore?

Several possible reasons

1) The photos have been removed from the group by a group administrator. Check out the possible group discussions and group rules for the reason.

2) The photos come from free accounts where the display limit has been reached. They have been hidden and will reappear if the owners become members with paid accounts.

3) The photos have been removed from the group by their owners, or member has left the group and removed her/his contributions.

4) The group has become "private".

Can I download an entire album?

nobody@ipernity.com (FAQ) — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:06:02 +0000

FAQ has posted:

← Back to Index

Yes. For paid accounts ipernity offers functionality to generate a so-called metalink file that contains download links to all photos of one of your albums. Then you can download all of these photos at once with third party download software that is able to process metalink files. One example for such third party software that is free is uGet.

Sounds complicated? Don't worry. The following step-by-step instructions will give precise instructions on what to do on a Windows computer in order to install uGet and then download all photos within an album with the help of a metalink file created by ipernity.

In order to install uGet you need the compression/decompression software 7-zip that is free, too. The first to steps of the following instructions describe how to install 7-zip and uGet. Once you have installed these two programs and configured uGet according to step 3 you can proceed with step 4 whenever you want to download a complete album.

Step 1: Download and install the compression/decompression software 7-zip

a) This is required because the zip extractor provided with Windows only works on .zip files not .7z type files. Go to www.7-zip.org. Depending on your Windows version click the download link for the 32-bit or the 64-bit version. An executable file for the installation of 7-zip is now downloaded to your default download folder. (The zip extractor provided with Windows only works on .zip files not .7z type files.)

b) Start this executable file (either directly form your browser after download as indicated by the red oval in the lower left corner above or by a double click on the file in your download folder) and follow the instructions for installation.

Step 2: Download and install uGet

a) Go to ugetdm.com and click on "downloads" at the top of this website.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

b) Scroll down until you see the the link for Windows and click on it.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

c) Scroll down until you see the download link for the 7z-archive for portable 7z. Click on "download". Now a 7z-archive containing all files needed for uGet is downloaded to your default download folder.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

d) Unzip the 7z-archive for uGet. For this purpose open the Windows file explorer, locate the 7z-archive that was downloaded in step c), right-click on this archive to open the context menu. Then choose "7-Zip" from the menu and "Extract files..." from the sub menu. If this option is missing, you can choose "Open archive" and then find the Extract option in the toolbar.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

e) Click OK in the popup window. Now a sub-folder with all the uncompressed files belonging to uGet will be created within your download folder. If you wish you can now move this folder to another location on your hard drive. Take note of the location of this folder.

[28 Jan 2024] However, the aria2 plugin included with the uGet zip file is out of date. Go to aria2 plugin for uGet and click the 'Source Code' Download button. Then find the downloads for different systems at the bottom. Again, you will need to extract from a zip file. The aria2c.exe to be replaced is in the bin folder under the main uget folder.

Step 3: Configure uGet to be able to process metalink files

a) Open the uGet folder on you hard drive that you noted in step 2e) that has the uget files. Open the sub-folder bin, scroll down and then double click on uget.exe in order to start uGet. (If you hide file extensions, see the application with green icon.)

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

b) When the start screen of uGet has opened choose "Edit" from the menu at the top. After that choose "Settings..." from the pop-up menu.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

c) Now choose "Plug-in" in the uGet settings window.

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

c) Open the Tools-menu at the upper right corner and choose "Download the entire album".

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

d) On the warnings page that appears now click on "Retrieve the download file". Then a metalink file will be downloaded to your computer. Attention! This download file will be needed in the following steps and expires in 24 hours. Thus all following steps must be done within 24 hours. Otherwise you will have to start with step 4 again!

Step 5: Download all photos from your album with uGet

▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

d) In the new window beside "Folder" you can select the folder where your downloaded photos shall be stored. Use the folder icon for a new location, and the down arrow to select from ones previously used. After that click on OK again.

e) Now uGet will download all the photos from your album. Depending on the number of photos and your internet connection that may take some time. The progress is indicated, and when the download is complete there is an acoustic signal and all photos from your album should then be in the folder selected in step 5d).

Using this method as a general download tool

Depending on the size of your gallery, you might create a few albums. You can use the advanced search (by date), to manage the photos into separate albums without duplicates. When adding photos to an album, you can use click and shift+click to select many photos at once from the bottom film strip selector.
