Algorithm (Workflow)
The function DeepL is designed to open a web browser and navigate to the DeepL translation tool with a specified text to be translated. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 4.2.
Input Parameters
varargin: A variable-length input argument list that allows the function to accept any number of input arguments.
Algorithm Steps
- The function retrieves the input parameters using
getfuncparams, which processes the input arguments.
- It replaces German umlauts in the input text with their corresponding English representations (e.g., 'ä' to 'ae').
- The text is then converted to a URL-encoded format using the helper function
str2urlhex.
- A base URL for the DeepL translator is defined:
https://www.deepl.com/translator#en/de/.
- The function concatenates the base URL with the URL-encoded text and opens it in the default web browser using the
web function.
Helper Function: str2urlhex
This function converts a string into a URL-encoded format by replacing characters with their hexadecimal ASCII values prefixed by '%'.
Parameters
TStr: The input string to be converted.varargin: Optional parameters, with a default value of 2 for the number of hex digits.
Process
- Initialize a counter
i to iterate over the string.
- For each character in the string, if its ASCII value is less than or equal to 32, convert it to its hexadecimal representation.
- Replace the character in the string with its URL-encoded form.
