Overview
The Language Cloud PowerShell Toolkit integrates with Language Cloud enabling users to script and automate actions using the publicly available APIs. The purpose of this toolkit is to automate project creation and retrieve essential resources through the PowerShell console.
Toolkit Components
- Modules: AuthenticationHelper, ProjectServerHelper, ResourcesHelper, UserManagerHelper, FileManagementHelper, WorkflowHelper and ReportingHelper. Each module contains functions to handle specific Language Cloud operations.
- Scripts: Sample scripts like Sample_Roundtrip.ps1 demonstrate practical usage of the toolkit for common tasks such as creating and managing projects.
- Samples: Example files included to illustrate typical automation workflows.
Getting Started
Requirements:
- PowerShell Version 7.4 or Higher
- Access to Language Cloud with adequite user rights and permissions
Installation:
- Download the toolkit files.
- Unblock the downloaded files as needed.
- Create necessary directories in your PowerShell user folder, such as Documents\PowerShell\Modules.
- Copy the relevant script and module files to the designated directories.
Configuration
After obtaining your Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant ID update the script with the retrieved values. Example Sample_Roundtrip.ps1
Authentication
The Get-AccessKey function retrieves an authentication token and stores it as a PowerShell object for API use. To reduce repeated requests, it saves the token in a JSON file within the AuthenticationHelper module. Run
Get-AccessKey -id "Your_ClientId" -secret "Your_ClientSecret" -lcTenant "YourLcTenant"
Running Scripts
- Open PowerShell 7.4 or higher.
- Set the execution policy to Unrestricted if required (Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser).
- Navigate to the folder where the script (e.g., Sample_Roundtrip.ps1) is stored.
- Run the script using .\Sample_Roundtrip.ps1.
Module Usage
- Use the Get-Module command to verify if the required modules are available in your PowerShell environment
- Import Modules
Import-Module -Name AuthenticationHelper Import-Module -Name ProjectHelper Import-Module -Name ResourcesHelper Import-Module -Name UsersHelper Import-Module -Name TerminologyHelper
- Once imported, functions within each module can be executed for automating various operations.
Help & Troubleshooting
- Use the Get-Help cmdlet to access detailed documentation for each function after the module is imported.
- Ensure all file paths are correctly configured, and the required modules are available in the Documents\PowerShell\Modules directory.
For detailed guidance and information on available endpoints, please refer to the API Documentation.
