Document Management (M-Files, Alfresco)¶

# Webhook for automatic translation
@app.route("/webhook/document-created", methods=["POST"])
def translate_new_document(request):
    doc_id = request.json["document_id"]
    source_lang = request.json["language"]

    # Get document from DMS
    document = dms.get_document(doc_id)

    # Translate
    translations = pauhu.translate_document(
        file=document.content,
        source=source_lang,
        target=["sv", "en"],  # Finnish municipalities need Swedish
        domain="04-politics"
    )

    # Store translations back to DMS
    for lang, translation in translations.items():
        dms.create_document(
            content=translation,
            parent=doc_id,
            language=lang
        )

    return {"status": "ok"}

Citizen Portal Integration¶

# Real-time form translation
from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/api/translate-form", methods=["POST"])
def translate_form():
    form_data = request.json

    # Translate all text fields
    translated_fields = {}
    for field, value in form_data["fields"].items():
        if isinstance(value, str) and len(value) > 0:
            result = pauhu.translate(
                text=value,
                source="fi",
                target=form_data["target_language"],
                domain="28-social"  # Citizen services
