Solastellan Translator

[Spiderc]

Well, I've finished the basic of the program. I still need to work on a few other things such as commas appear in the middle of words and its inability to track punctuation (and a few other things). I put the code in spoiler tags cause it's long and I doubt anyone (except Graz) will want to look at it.

SPOILER: Click to show

window.onload=function()
{
document.getElementById("buttonName").onclick=translate;
}

function translate()
{
var paragraph;
var count;
var totalCount;
var i;
var sentence;
var result;
var punctuation;
result="";
paragraph=window.prompt("What would you like to translate?","")
paragraph=paragraph+""
totalCount=0;
for(i=0;i<paragraph.length;i++)
{
if(paragraph.charAt(i)==="." || paragraph.charAt(i)==="!" || paragraph.charAt(i)==="?") {totalCount=totalCount+1}
}
for(count=0;count<totalCount;count++)
{
for(i=0;paragraph.charAt(i)!=="." && paragraph.charAt(i)!=="!" && paragraph.charAt(i)!=="?" && i<paragraph.length;i++) {}
sentence=paragraph.substring(0,i+1);
paragraph=paragraph.substring(i+1,paragraph.length);
if(sentence.charAt(sentence.length-1)===".") {punctuation=1}
if(sentence.charAt(sentence.length-1)==="!") {punctuation=2}
if(sentence.charAt(sentence.length-1)==="?") {punctuation=3}
sentence=removeDelimiters(sentence);
sentence=reverse(sentence);
sentence=addSpacing(sentence);
if(sentence.length>60) {sentence=addComma(sentence)}
sentence=sentencify(sentence,punctuation)
result=result+sentence+" ";
}
window.alert(result)
}

function removeDelimiters(sentence)
{
var i;
for(i=0;i<sentence.length;i++)
{
if(sentence.charAt(i)===" " || sentence.charAt(i)==="," || sentence.charAt(i)==="." || sentence.charAt(i)==="?" || sentence.charAt(i)==="!" || sentence.charAt(i)==="'" || sentence.charAt(i)==="-")
{
sentence=sentence.substring(0,i)+sentence.substring(i+1,sentence.length)
i=i-1
}
}
sentence=sentence.toLowerCase()
return sentence;
}

function reverse(sentence)
{
var i;
var string;
string="";
for(i=sentence.length;string.length<sentence.length;i--)
{
string=string+sentence.charAt(i)
}
return string;
};

function getRandomInteger(upperLimit)
{
var randomNumbers;
var result;
randomNumber=Math.random();
result=Math.floor(randomNumber*(1+upperLimit));
return result;
};

function addSpacing(sentence)
{
var i;
var random;
i=getRandomInteger(4)+3
while(i<sentence.length)
{
random=getRandomInteger(4)+3;
sentence=sentence.substring(0,i+1)+" "+sentence.substring(i+1,sentence.length);
i=i+random;
}
return sentence
}

function addComma(sentence)
{
var loc;
loc=Math.floor(sentence.length/2);
loc=loc+getRandomInteger(12)-6;
while(sentence.charAt(loc+1)!==" ")
{
loc=loc-1;
}
sentence=sentence.substring(0,loc+1)+","+sentence.substring(loc+1,sentence.length)
return sentence;
}

function sentencify(sentence,punctuation)
{
sentence=sentence.charAt(0).toUpperCase()+sentence.substring(1,sentence.length)
if(punctuation===1) {sentence=sentence+"."}
if(punctuation===2) {sentence=sentence+"!"}
if(punctuation===3) {sentence=sentence+"?"}
return sentence
}

When I input

I am testing this program. This sentence is very very very long so that it'll trigger some of the longer stuff. This sentence is short. This sentence is a little longer but not much. This sentence won't work because it has a question mark?

I get

Margor ps ihtg nits etmai. Ffut sr egnole ht foem osre ggi rtllti ta htosg, no lyrevy revyr evs iecne tne ssiht . Trohs siecne tn essi ht . Hcumt ontub re gnolel tt ilasi ec net nes sih t. Kramnoi tse uqasa hties ua cebk rowtn owecn etnes siht?

So yeah, anything I should change? And for reference, I used i.imgur.com/JwAzW.png for my flowchart so you can see what all I did.

[ZOM]

dude no this is seriously cool! i know nothin about coding so i have no idea if there's anything that needs changing from that standpoint, but it seems to work perfectly well :0 i figure this'd be a REALLY GOOD base thing to go off of, and then whoever's using it could just move a letter from one word to another to make it sound actually pronounceable, or add in question marks or whatnot.

SPIDEY YOU ARE SUPER RAD THIS IS NEAT

[Seas]

Yes, this is awesome. I also don't know much about coding, so I admit I can't help you there, but I am very impressed by the results.

[➤ GRAZ !]

Hahahaha excellent! This is going in the word count box, fo sho.

(If possible, would you be able to make it so punctuation was spaced like it typically is? I mean that there is no space before the comma or period but there is one afterwards?)

Yep, that's one of the things I'm still working on (mentioned it at the top of my post).

[➤ GRAZ !]

haha so you did<3

[Spiderc]

Alright, fixed the program to put commas after words and it also tracks periods, exclamation, and question marks now. Is there anything else you guys want me to add for more functionality?

[➤ GRAZ !]

Could you just append the code slightly so it’s tied to a text box and a button?

Done. Just change "buttonName" to whatever the button's Id is.
