The Internationalization (i18n) Product Retrieval Service is a web service and client providing i18n-type access to products and product metadata contained within NASA JPL's Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center otherwise known as PO.DAAC.
The software implements a RESTful web-service and client to obtain data from the NASA JPL's PO.DAAC Web-Services API. It then translates the product metadata into a target language provided along with the initial call to the service.
There are a couple of ways to cite iPReS.

It should be noted that because iPReS relies upon Apache Tika's Translate module, the supported translations differ depending on which translation service implementation you decide to use. By default iPReS uses Tika's YandexTranslator meaning that you need to create a Yandex API Key (click login on top right to create account and API key). Once you have this key, simply edit ./app/resources/org/apache/tika/language/translate/translator.yandex.properties and you are good to go!
The following translation implementations are available
- Google Translate
- Apache Joshua
- Lingo24
- Bing (Microsoft) Translator
- Moses statistical machine translation system
- Yandex
In order to configure one of the above the steps are always the same
- Obtain credentials for using the target translation service
- Edit the relevant properties file in ./app/resources/org/apache/tika/language/translate/
- Replace all instances of YandexTranslator in ./app/src/app/core.clj with the tika-translate implementation you wish to use.
Please refer to the Application Installation instructions. This also details the prerequisite software installation requirements.
