Translate Array with Array - arrays

Question

I search a way to translate a key from one array with other array.
tmp_title=$3
title=$(echo ${tmp_title,,} | sed -e 's/\s/-/g')
tags=(computer media state society)
de=(computer medien staat gesellschaft)
fr=(ordinateur journalisme politique société)
ru=(Компьютер СМИ штат общество)
file="./content/de/blog/$(date +"%Y")/$(date +"%m")/$title.md"
if test -n "$2"; then
# check tag is in tags array
if [[ ${tags[*]} =~ $2 ]]; then
# check the folder structure is right
if [[ -d ./content/de/blog/$(date +"%Y")/$(date +"%m") ]]; then
# create the content and fill up the file
echo "---" >> "$file"
echo "title: \"$3\"" >> "$file"
echo "date: $(date +\"%Y-%m-%d\")" >> "$file"
echo "draft: false" >> "$file"
echo "tags: \"$2\"" >> "$file"
echo "shorttext:" >> "$file"
echo "cover: \"$2\"" >> "$file"
echo "lang: $1" >> "$file"
echo "---" >> "$file"
fi
else
echo "Enter a valid tag name ..."
fi
fi
I search a way to translate "tags: \"$2\"" >> "$file" in the language array value. When I append society to the script then should be tags: "gesellschaft".
Thank you for help.

Answer 1

Consider this approach
case $LANG in
*en*) tags=(computer media state society );;
*de*) tags=(computer medien staat gesellschaft);;
*fr*) tags=(ordinateur journalisme politique société );;
*ru*) tags=(Компьютер СМИ штат общество );;

I have it realize other. I ask for categories and translate then to the $lang value.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# variables through user input
lang=$1
cover=$2
tmp_title=$3
# variables which we use in script
# create a title with small letters and remove whitespace
title=$(echo ${tmp_title,,} | sed -e 's/\s/-/g')
# categories
categories=(computer media repression society)
# date variables
date=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
year=$(date +"%Y")
month=$(date +"%m")
# content variables
content_dir="./content/$lang/blog/$year/$month"
file="$content_dir/$title.md"
# function
function create_file()
{
{
echo "---"
echo "title: \"$tmp_title\""
echo "date: $date"
echo "draft: false"
echo "tags: \"$tag\""
echo "shorttext:"
echo "cover: \"$cover\""
echo "lang: $lang"
echo "---"
} >> "$file"
}
case $1 in
de)
if test -n "$lang"; then
# check tag is in array
if [[ ${categories[*]} =~ $cover ]]; then
# translation tag > categories
if [[ $cover =~ "computer" ]]; then
tag="Computer"
elif [[ $cover =~ "media" ]]; then
tag="Medien"
elif [[ $cover =~ "repression" ]]; then
tag="Staat"
elif [[ $cover =~ "society" ]]; then
tag="Gesellschaft"
fi
# check the folder structure is right
if [[ -d "$content_dir" ]]; then
# create the content and fill up the file
create_file
if [[ -f "$file" ]]; then
subl "$file"
fi
else
# create the folder of content
mkdir -p "$content_dir"
# create the content and fill up the file
create_file
if [[ -f "$file" ]]; then
subl "$file"
fi

echo "Enter a valid tag name ..."
