Support for translations

[Robbe7730]

The GTFS standard also supports translations in translations.txt. It would be nice to have these available too.

sure, it would be nice! I have not read the specifications for translations, but I'd sure be okay to review a PR on this!

[Robbe7730]

Sure, I'll gladly look into implementing this. Do you have any pointers on where to start? It isn't quite clear to me what the difference between raw_gtfs and regular gtfs is.

[antoine-de]

oups the documentation might be lacking a bit 😰

RawGtfs is quite close to the files representation while Gtfs is a bit easier to use (mainly less errors, and a Arc<Stop> in the stoptime to ease use.

I think for the translations, you can just add one Translation struct close to what is in the spec and add

pub struct RawGtfs {
    //... other fields
    pub translations: Result<Vec<Translation>, Error>,
}

and an easy to use structure in the Gtfs. Maybe a HashMap<(ObjectType, String), Translation>? Or HashMap<ObjectType, HashMap<String, Translation>>?

Would this be easy to use for you? Since you're the first user, you are in the best seat to know what is easy to use 😀

It appears progress has stalled. I'm happy to work on this, is that alright?

[antoine-de]

sure !

do you have an idea of the best way to represent this in the GTFS for the translations to be easy to use?

[Robbe7730]

This has indeed been on the back-burner for a while now, and I don't really have the time to spend on it, but if I can help in any way feel free to contact me 🙂

What is left for completion?
