I am trying to do geocoding with MapBox geocoding. I have a problem with searching cyrillic (Serbian) street names. When I search for city name (which are displayed latin), I can find them. Also, there is no option for MapBox to display map in Serbian language (only English, France, Germany, Spanish). However, I tried to do it with setting language to Serbian, but it doesn't help.
Here is my code, but I think there is no problem with code, it is just problem with MapBox, not offering support for Serbia.
private void getCoordinatesFromAddress(String address) {
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
progressDialog.setMessage("Pronalazenje lokacije...");
progressDialog.show();
MapboxGeocoding mapboxGeocoding = MapboxGeocoding.builder()
.accessToken(getString(R.string.mapbox_access_token))
.query(address)
.mode(GeocodingCriteria.MODE_PLACES)
.geocodingTypes(GeocodingCriteria.TYPE_ADDRESS, GeocodingCriteria.TYPE_PLACE)
.proximity(Point.fromLngLat(21.895759,43.320902))
.country("RS")
.languages("sr")
.build();
mapboxGeocoding.enqueueCall(new Callback<GeocodingResponse>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<GeocodingResponse> call, Response<GeocodingResponse> response) {
List<CarmenFeature> results = response.body().features();
if (results.size() > 0) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
Point firstResultPoint = results.get(0).center();
publicFunctions.displayToast("Lokacija " + address + " pronadjena");
move(firstResultPoint.latitude(),firstResultPoint.longitude());
} else {
publicFunctions.displayToast("Lokacija " + address + " nije pronadjena");
progressDialog.dismiss();
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<GeocodingResponse> call, Throwable throwable) {
throwable.printStackTrace();
progressDialog.dismiss();
}
});
}
Serbian is mentioned at https://docs.mapbox.com/api/search/#local-coverage
You can use the Mapbox Geocoding Playground to explore. Here's a URL that will load the playground with settings to match your geocoding query code above. Make sure you type Serbian language queries in the playground because the Serbian language filter is being applied.

I've defined a class that wraps the HMS ML Kit in-device translator.
This class has two translator instances, with two different settings:
MLLocalTranslator translatorSend = new MLLocalTranslator();
MLLocalTranslator translatorReceive = new MLLocalTranslator();
MLTranslateSetting settingSend = new MLTranslateSetting();
MLTranslateSetting settingReceive = new MLTranslateSetting();
translatorSend translates request from a language (for example it) to English (en). translatorReceive translates the response of the request from en to it.
However, the prepare method only downloads the model for en_it translation and not the it_en model (if exists).
HMSTranslator(String languageCode) {
settingSend.sourceLangCode = languageCode;
settingSend.targetLangCode = "en";
settingReceive.sourceLangCode = "en";
settingReceive.targetLangCode = languageCode;
}
Future<bool> prepare() async {
if(settingSend.sourceLangCode != settingSend.targetLangCode) {
bool isSendPrepared = await translatorSend.prepareModel(setting: settingSend)
bool isReceivePrepared = await translatorReceive.prepareModel(setting: settingReceive);
isPrepared = isSendPrepared && isReceivePrepared;
}
else {
isPrepared = false;
}
return isPrepared;
}
The problem comes when I translate a string with translatorSend.
Future<String> translateString(String stringToTranslate) async {
if(settingSend.sourceLangCode != settingSend.targetLangCode) {
String result;
if (isPrepared) {
result = await translatorSend.asyncTranslate(sourceText: stringToTranslate);
}
else {
settingSend.sourceTextOnRemote = stringToTranslate;
result = await sendRemoteTranslator.asyncTranslate(setting: settingSend);
}
return result;
}
else {
return stringToTranslate;
}
}
This method should translate an it String to an en String. However, it seems to call the en_it model and fails the translation:
I/flutter (28228): TRANSLATOR: it to en
I/flutter (28228): TRANSLATOR: PREPARED
I/MLLocalTranslator(28228): translate sourceLanguage: en targetLanguage: it
WHAT: vestiti usati -> vestiti usati - WHERE applicazione -> applicazione
The translation of the response, from en to it works.
I've tested other languages and that happens also with fr.
Further testing showed that the process worked with es:
WHAT: ropa usada -> Used clothing - WHERE aplicación -> application
Pls check whether you are using the new version of the Flutter plug-in.
Language packs can be used in two-way. For example, en-it can be used for en to it or it to en.
The following are for your reference:
Modify based on the plugin Demo in the official website
The same instance is used for bidirectional translation by invoking multiple times.
//Entry function
_translationMake() async {
try {
await _prepareModel_run("it","en","vestiti usati");
await _prepareModel_run("en","it","application");
} on Exception catch (e) {
print(e.toString());
}
}
_prepareModel_run(String srcLang, String dstLang, String content) async {
setting.sourceLangCode = srcLang;
setting.targetLangCode = dstLang;
try {
final bool res = await translator.prepareModel(setting: setting);
if (res) {
final String s = await _localTranslate_run(content);
if (s != null) {
print("_prepareModel_run " + content + " translate to "+s);
}
}else {
print("_prepareModel_run res false");
}
} on Exception catch (e) {
print(e.toString());
}
}
Future<String> _localTranslate_run(String Content) async {
try {
final String s =
await translator.syncTranslate(sourceText: Content);
if (s != null) {
_stopLocalTranslate();
setState(() => _translateResult = s);
return s;
} else {
print("no Translation");
setState(() => _translateResult = "no translation");
return "no translation";
}
} on Exception catch (e) {
print(e.toString());
}
}
And the log print results are as follows:
_prepareModel_run vestiti usati translate to Used clothes
_prepareModel_run application translate to applicazione
We can use HMS ML kit to translate text into different languages. The following is the info. you can take reference for.
ML services can currently translate texts between 12 languages: Simplified Chinese, English, French, Arabic, Thai, Spanish, Turkish, Portuguese, Japanese, German, Italian, and Russian.
Step 1: Text is fetched from UI and provided to ML model
Step 2: Parameters are set before making API call to server
· Source language code
· Desired Language code
· String which needs to be translated.
Step 3: Once API data reaches the server ML Model translates the text into desired output
Step 4: Server returns the translated output to application.
Step 5: Application shows output to UI.
Precautions: The machine learning model is stored on cloud. An Internet call is made so its permission is required.
Below are the changes you have to do in order to run build and run the project
Open App.gradle file and add this line on top.
apply plugin: 'com.huawei.agconnect'
To use Text Translation service add this dependency to pro
mplementation 'com.huawei.hms:ml-computer-translate:1.0.3.300'
MLRemoteTranslateSetting object is being created which takes Source Language as setSourceLangCode() and Output Language as setTargetLangCode()
MLRemoteTranslator object is created by passing previously created MLRemoteTranslateSetting object to it.
You can create a Task where mlRemoteTranslator will have an async call by asyncTranslate() and we will provide user string as the input to this method.
This task will yield to 2 callbacks
addOnSuccessListener
addOnFailureListener
As the name suggests you can add your code in success listener and can add notification/Log in failure listener.
For Flutter:
First:
create MlTranslatorSettings object and instance in initState
Second:
set the settings to the translator, for example, initial language and final language of the translation, see below example.
In the properties, you can customize the type of map, controls, camera position, initial position, etc.
Here are also some detailed info. regarding how to use HMS ML kit with Flutter:

I'm trying the speech to text plugin (Unity watson SDK) to develop an English grammar correction class prototype plugin.
I want it to translate literally what the user is saying, with gramatically incorrect sentences.
Example: the user says > AUDIO "What you do want?" instead of "What do you want?".
But the plugin always tries to correct it.
Examples:
AUDIO "What you do want?" results in TEXT > "What do you do want" or changing the sentences completely.
Is there an option or function that I'm missing? Or is just how the app works to interpret the audio? Any one familiar with the IBM Waton SDK?
Any hint or advice is appreciated.
My speech transcribes as "What you do want" when using the example. You can access word alternatives in the response as well:
private void OnRecognize(SpeechRecognitionEvent result, Dictionary<string, object> customData)
{
if (result != null && result.results.Length > 0)
{
foreach (var res in result.results)
{
foreach(var wordAlt in res.word_alternatives)
{
foreach(WordAlternativeResult wordAltResult in wordAlt.alternatives)
{
Log.Debug("ExampleStreaming", "word: {0}, confidence: {1}", wordAltResult.word, wordAltResult.confidence);
}
}
}
}
}
I am using Unity 5.5.2f1 pro and facebook's SDK v 7.9.4
I have a script which after login (managed in a previous scene) sends an API request to FB asking for friends, name and email and sends that info as a POST to a php website.
code:
[Serializable]
public struct FBData {
public string first_name;
public string email;
public string friends;
public string id;}
public class UserManagement : MonoBehaviour {
string urlSaveUserData="some php website";
public Text testTxt;
FBData parsedData;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
//Check if it's the first time the user is opening the app.
if (UserInfo.FIRST_TIME) {
//update text (only used for testing, should be removed in production.)
testTxt.text = "Your user id is: " + UserInfo.ID;
//Perform FB.API call to get User Data.
getUserData ();
//Save in SQL table. (won't get here if line in getUserData() is active)
StartCoroutine ("saveUserData");
} else {
//do something else.
}
note: Since this is meant for iOS I have to test it on a device so I'm using text in the screen to display info (think of it as a badly implemented print statement).
The problem: In my callback function for FB.API I write in the text Gameobject (aka testTxt) the parsed information from the response which is saved in the Custom UserInfo clss. It display's correctly but the code gets stuck there. It doesn't continue to the next function. HOWEVER, if I delete/comment that line and don't display anything in the text field. The codes does continue to the POST function BUT the information from the API call is not passed, i.e my custom class is empty (leading me to believe the callback function is not called at all).
public void getUserData(){
string query = "me?fields=first_name,email,friends";
FB.API (query, HttpMethod.GET, Apicallback, new Dictionary<string, string> ());
}
private void Apicallback(IGraphResult result){
//Parse Graph response into a specific class created for this result.
parsedData = JsonUtility.FromJson<FBData>(result.RawResult);
//Pass each field into UserInfo class.
UserInfo.EMAIL = parsedData.email;
UserInfo.FRIENDS = parsedData.friends;
UserInfo.NAME = parsedData.first_name;
UserInfo.FACEBOOKID = parsedData.id;
/*problem area, if I comment line below, then previous information is apparently not stored. If left as is then testTxt displays correct information but code gets stuck there. */
testTxt.text = "This is the info from USerInfoInside the APICallback: " + UserInfo.EMAIL + UserInfo.FRIENDS + UserInfo.FACEBOOKID;
}
The function below is to send info to php website, is there for illustrative purposes:
code:
public IEnumerator saveUserData() {
//get user info (this information is EMPTY if line in getUserData() is commented.
parsedData.id = UserInfo.FACEBOOKID;
parsedData.friends = UserInfo.FRIENDS;
parsedData.first_name = UserInfo.NAME;
parsedData.email = UserInfo.EMAIL;
//translate data into json
string JsonBodyData = JsonUtility.ToJson (parsedData);
//Custom web request (POST method doesnt seem to work very well, documentation example sends empty form)
var w = new UnityWebRequest(urlSaveUserData, "POST");
byte[] bodyRaw = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(JsonBodyData);
w.uploadHandler = (UploadHandler) new UploadHandlerRaw(bodyRaw);
w.downloadHandler = (DownloadHandler) new DownloadHandlerBuffer();
w.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
yield return w.Send();
//work with received data...}
Im stuck here any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Be sure to use EscapeURL when using strings directly for JSON or HTTP POST and GET methods. The lack of this treatment tends to screw things over, particulary in iOS platforms.
From what I can see, this code
string query = "me?fields=first_name,email,friends";
should instead be escaped as
string query = WWW.EscapeURL("me?fields=first_name,email,friends");
so characters like "?" won't get encoded as an URL symbol.
I'm assuming you don't need to do that for your illustrative example, because UnityWebRequest already escapes your POST request strings internally, but I can't fully confirm that.
I am looking to be able to have a user input an address, and be able to save that address, and convert it into latitude and longitudinal coordinates. I haven't been able to find much documentation on forward geocoding, and I am having trouble starting this code. Should I ask the user to input the address by (city, state, zip code)? Or would a single address suffice? Is there a function that can do what I need? Any help is much appreciated.
I have made a simple LocationManager helper on github in which you can get the thing what you want.
There is a function getReverseGeoCodedLocation in the library. Just input your address as a String and get the complete placemark and lat, longs.
Add the LocationManager.swift file in your project
How to use it:-
LocationManager.sharedInstance.getReverseGeoCodedLocation(address: yourAddress, completionHandler: { (location:CLLocation?, placemark:CLPlacemark?, error:NSError?) in
if error != nil {
print((error?.localizedDescription)!)
return
}
if placemark == nil {
print("Location can't be fetched")
return
}
print(placemark?.addressDictionary?.description ?? "")
print((placemark?.location?.coordinate.latitude)!)
print((placemark?.location?.coordinate.longitude)!)
})
Internally it uses the geocodeAddressString of CLGeocoder
Output
Note:- It is for Swift 3.0 and above
If you want to avoid the paid Google Maps API (for commercial purposes) and usage of CLLocation you can also take a look at NominatimSwift: https://github.com/caloon/NominatimSwift
It's probably the most lightweight solution if you just want to geocode.
(Disclaimer: I made it)
NominatimSwift uses the free Nominatim API for geocoding of OpenStreetMap data. You can also search for landmarks. It requires network connectivity.
Geocoding addresses and landmarks:
Nominatim.getLocation(fromAddress: "The Royal Palace of Stockholm", completion: {(error, location) -> Void in
print("Geolocation of the Royal Palace of Stockholm:")
print("lat = " + (location?.latitude)! + " lon = " + (location?.longitude)!)
})
Reverse geocoding:
Nominatim.getLocation(fromLatitude: "55.6867243", longitude: "12.5700724", completion: {(error, location) -> Void in
print("City for geolocation 55.6867243/12.5700724:")
print(location?.city)
})
I found myself with the following problem:
I have a page generated with logic:iterate that shows the current supervisor and assistant of a service.
That page also acts as a form where people can add their possible substitutes, but you never know how many of those are there.
Due to the environment I am currently working with it had to be without JSTL so a lot of options were gone; couldn't get DynaActionForm working for this either.
Since I couldn't find anything but I already got the answer I decided to create this to answer anyone who might have the same issue.
Code:
public ActionForward post(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
String[] tot;
try {
Enumeration<?> fieldsForm = request.getParameterNames();
while(fieldsForm.hasMoreElements()) {
String current = (String) fieldsForm.nextElement();
tot = request.getParameterValues(current);
System.out.println("Field name is: " + current);
for (i=0; i<tot.length; i++) {
// do whatever you need to do; contents are in tot[i]
System.out.println("Value " + i + " is: " + tot[i]);
}
}
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
}
}
