DMX Linqa

Linqa is a multilingual whiteboard application for supporting international collaboration. Its special trait is automatic text translation. Users edit content items (notes, text blocks, PDF, images, audio, video, documents) on a whiteboard that is shared and discussed between team members. Chat-like discussion takes place at both levels, per individual item as well as team-wide. Both, the text items and all discussion posts are translated automatically and can be displayed in 2 languages at the same time. Linqa indicates whether text is a result of auto-translation or has been revised manually.

When creating a note or a discussion post the user just types in her preferred language. Linqa detects the language automatically and translates accordingly. At the moment 9 languages are supported: German 🇩🇪, English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸, Finnish 🇫🇮, French 🇫🇷, Polish 🇵🇱, Portuguese (Brazilian) 🇧🇷, Swedish 🇸🇪, and Ukrainian 🇺🇦.

A typical Linqa workspace

A workspace represents a group of people collaborating on a certain topic/project. A workspace consists of both, a whiteboard and a (closable) discussion panel. The whiteboard is not limited in size and is zoomable. To add structure the items can be freely placed and individually colored. Further elements like headings, lines, arrows, and shapes can be added. Together this allows for building expressive and appealing whiteboards which support the user's visual memory.

Workspaces are synchronized between collaborating users in real time, so every logged in user has an up-to-date view. To keep workspace members up-to-date also when not logged in, Linqa informs them about changes by sending digest emails on a regular basis.

In Linqa there are 3 user roles:

Administrator -- create workspaces and user accounts, manage memberships and set user roles
Editor -- create and edit content items, arrange the whiteboard
Member -- browse whiteboard content, download documents, engage in discussion

Linqa is a web application for the DMX platform. Automatic text translation is done by the means of the DeepL service. Like the DMX platform, Linqa itself is Open Source software under the GNU AGPL license.

Originally Linqa was developed by DMX Systems, contracted by Franco-German Forum for the Future, and funded by public money. The original version was restricted to German and French. Meanwhile the language aspect is generalized, and adding another language to the current set of 9 is rather easy.

Installation

You can self-host Linqa on your own server, or, for a quick trial, install it on your local computer.

Linqa relies on a DMX platform installation.

dmx-5.3.5.zip

You install Linqa by putting these plugins into the DMX platform's bundle-deploy/ directory:

Before browsing to the Linqa UI a minimum configuration is required.

Minimum configuration

The minimum Linqa configuration consist of 2 languages and a DeepL API key. Add entries to DMX's conf/config.properties file, e.g.:

## Linqa
dmx.linqa.lang1 = de
dmx.linqa.lang2 = en
dmx.deepl.auth_key = 16584e92-944f-38e5-a8ec-6ea0a0943f94:fx

Lines beginning with # are comments.

Explanation of the properties:

Property	Required	Description
dmx.linqa.lang1	yes	ISO 639-1 language code, see table below.
dmx.linqa.lang2	yes	ISO 639-1 language code, see table below.
dmx.deepl.auth_key	yes	Your DeepL API key as obtained from https://www.deepl.com
dmx.deepl.base_url	no	DeepL API base URL. Includes version number, ends with `/`. Default is `https://api-free.deepl.com/v2/`. For the DeepL payed plan use `https://api.deepl.com/v2/` instead.

The pair of languages Linqa uses for automatic translation and for the UI is configurable per installation. At the moment 9 languages are supported:

Code	Language
`de`	German
`en`	English
`es`	Spanish
`fi`	Finnish
`fr`	French
`pl`	Polish
`pt`	Portuguese (Brazilian)
`sv`	Swedish
`uk`	Ukrainian

After editing the config file restarting the DMX platform is required.

Launch the Linqa UI

In your browser open this URL (note the trailing slash):

http://localhost:8080/systems.dmx.linqa/

The Linqa login page appears.

Quick Linqa trial

For a quick Linqa trial you can log in with your DMX admin account. With the first login the Linqa help dialog opens:

Once closing the help dialog you'll land in the "Linqa Administration" workspace. There you can use all the typical Linqa workspace features, e.g. putting content on the whiteboard and use the discussion panel.

IMPORTANT: don't do real work in Linqa as DMX admin user. In particular when you're creating further Linqa workspaces, Linqa will not work as expected. Login as DMX admin user only for 1) a quick trial (and possibly subsequent database wipeout), and 2) when setting up a multi-user server installation.

Multi-user server installation

Regarding a multi-user server installation Linqa still reflects the original requirements of the Franco-German Forum for the Future. In its current form Linqa is meant to support organization-internal working groups. Except the login page the Linqa UI has no public surface. In order to access Linqa workspaces users need a Linqa account. Linqa workspaces are invitation-only. Workspaces and user accounts are created by Linqa administrators. For the account/password related workflows Linqa relies on an infrastructure for sending email.

Once Linqa is installed and minimum configuration is done (see above) these steps need to be done only once:

Multi-user and email configuration.
Create the initial Linqa administrator account. The password of the DMX admin user is required.
Logout.

From that moment on you'll not login to Linqa as a DMX administrator anymore. Further Linqa administration tasks are done by the Linqa administrator then.

Multi-user and email configuration

Add additional entries to DMX's conf/config.properties file:

Property	Required	Description
signup plugin (see also dmx-sign-up)
dmx.signup.account_creation_auth_ws_uri	yes	Must be `linqa.admin_ws` (URI of the "Linqa Administration" DMX-workspace), otherwise Linqa admins would lack create-account privilege for underlying DMX platform).
dmx.signup.system_admin_mailbox	yes	The email address of a Linqa admin, e.g. `linqa-admin@example.org`. Linqa will send account-created notification mails there.
dmx.signup.system_from_mailbox	yes	Sender-email address of welcome-mails Linqa sends to new users, e.g. `noreply@example.org`.
dmx.signup.system_from_name	yes	Sender-name of welcome-mails, e.g. `DMX Linqa`.
dmx.signup.expected_password_complexity	no	Required complexity when user enters a new password. Possible values: `complex`, `simple`, `none`. Default is `complex`.
sendmail plugin (see also dmx-sendmail)
dmx.sendmail.smtp_host	no	Host name of the SMTP server/relay Linqa uses for sending mail, e.g. `smtpout.example.org`. Default is `localhost`.
dmx.sendmail.smtp_port	no	Port of the SMTP server/relay, e.g. `25`. Default is `25`.
dmx.sendmail.system_from_mailbox	yes	Sender-email address of digest-mails Linqa sends to users, e.g. `noreply@example.org`
dmx.sendmail.system_from_name	yes	Sender-name of digest-mails, e.g. `DMX Linqa`
linqa plugin
dmx.linqa.digest_email_subject	no	Subject of digest-mails. Default is `Linqa Digest`.

After editing the config file restarting the DMX platform is required.

Create initial Linqa admin account

To create the initial Linqa administrator account you need login into Linqa as DMX administrator first. After creation you'll not login into Linqa as admin again. Subsequent Linqa user accounts, including further Linqa administrator accounts will be created by a Linqa administrator then.

To create the initial Linqa administrator account:

Launch the Linqa UI and login as the DMX admin user.
Choose "Administration" from the upper/right "burger" menu. The Linqa Administration Area shows up.
At the left side click the 2nd icon (see red arrow) to open the "Users and memberships" page. All user accounts are listed. At the moment only admin is shown, the DMX administrator (not a Linqa user).
Click the "New user" button. The "New user" form shows up at the right side.
Fill in the display name and email address and click the "OK" button. A welcome mail is now sent to that email address, containing a link to set the initial password. Do not click the link in the email at the moment though.

The Linqa Administration Area

The user you've just created appears in the list now. At the moment this is still a regular Linqa user account. Now you'll make it a Linqa administrator account by assigning it to the "Linqa Administration" workspace.
From the user's ellipsis menu choose "Manage memberships". The "Manage memberships" panel appears, listing all available Linqa workspaces. At the moment it's only one: "Linqa Administration".
Check both, "Member" and "Editor", and click the "OK" button. The panel closes and the list shows user "Linqa Admin" is now a member of the "Linqa Administration" workspace.

About the "Linqa Administration" workspace: "Linqa Administration" is the only workspace existing so far. It was setup while Linqa installation. "Linqa Administration" is a regular Linqa workspace, just with the particularity that Linqa regards its members as Linqa admins.
Logout (using upper/right "burger" menu). You'll not login as DMX admin user anymore. Now you'll set the password for the Linqa admin account you've just created. You do so by following the instructions in the email sent (see step 5).
Click the link in the welcome-email. This requests a password-reset and a corresponding link is sent in another mail.
Click the link in the new-password mail. This brings up the "New password" dialog.
Type the password you want to have and press "OK".

Now, with the account you've just created, you're ready to login as a Linqa administrator.

Create users and workspaces

A Linqa administrator can create Linqa workspaces and user accounts, assign users to workspaces (or vice versa), and set user roles. Choose "Administration" from the upper/right "burger" menu to enter the Linqa Administration Area (see previous section).

The detail steps are very similar to what you did already when creating the Linqa administrator account. For creating workspaces go to the "Workspaces" page, for creating user accounts go to the "Users" page.

For every user account you create Linqa will send the Welcome mail to the respective email address. While creating an user account you can choose the (assumed) preferred language for that user. Both, the Welcome mail and the initial Linqa UI for that user will be in that language then.

The user↔︎workspace affiliations you can manage from both perspectives: on the "Workspaces" page you can assign users to a certain workspace, and on the "Users" page you can assign workspaces to a certain user. Use the "Manage memberships" menu item of the respective user or workspace (see previous section).

Setting user roles:

Member -- A member can browse whiteboard content (pan, zoom, search), download documents, and engage in discussion, both at item-level and at workspace-level.
Editor -- An editor can create and edit content items, and arrange the whiteboard. To make a user an editor in a specific workspace, check the corresponding Editor box. To enable the Editor box check the Member box first.
Administrator -- You make a user a Linqa administrator by making her a member of the "Linqa Administration" workspace. Besides the initial administrator account (see previous section) you can create further Linqa admins this way.

A user can be a editor in some workspace(s) while being just a member in other ones and not even a member in still other ones. When log in to the regular Linqa UI a user can switch between all the workspaces she is a member or editor of. An administrator has implicitly access to all workspaces.

IMPORTANT For every user account you create you must make that user a Member of at least one workspace. Otherwise the Linqa UI can not appear when that user logs in, but a message.

Customization

Several aspects of the Linqa look can be adapted to the specific usage context:

UI style + logo
Email texts + style
Imprint and privacy policy text + style
Help dialog content + style

Customization is not done by further configuration properties but by following certain file/directory naming conventions. This allows for multilingual custom resources.

If a new custom resource is installed, e.g. the site logo, a restart of the DMX platform is not required. To see the changes a simple page reload is sufficient.

Site logo

You can provide a custom logo for your specific Linqa installation. If you don't provide a custom logo Linqa will show its default logo:

The Linqa UI shows the logo at 3 dedicated spots:

The Login page
The legal pages (Imprint and Privacy Policy)
The top header of the main Linqa UI

The logo is language sensitive. In an e.g. German/French Linqa installation you could have 2 individual logos:

The Linqa UI would then show the logo corresponding to the language currently selected by the user.

For each language you need to create a separate PNG file with name logo and put them in DMX's conf/dmx-linqa/ directory:

logo.de.png
logo.en.png
logo.es.png
...

It is sufficient to provide the logo files for the languages configured for lang1 and lang2 respectively. If the logo file for the current UI language is missing Linqa will show its default logo. Note: if you want the same custom logo appear regardless of selected UI language you still need provide separate files then (just copies).

The logo files are expected to be PNGs. Other file types are not supported at the moment.

The logo PNGs should have an height of at least 84px. The width is arbitrary. Note: the respective language versions are not required to have the same width.

Logo style

Linqa's default stlyesheet will resize the logos to a height of 84px (Login and legal pages) resp. 44px (app header). To change this style or to add further style properties to your logo see Custom CSS below.

Imprint and privacy policy

It is required to configure site-specific imprint and privacy policy texts.

To do so create a dmx-linqa/ directory within your DMX conf/ directory with this content:

imprint.de.html
imprint.en.html
imprint.es.html
...
privacy_policy.de.html
privacy_policy.en.html
privacy_policy.es.html
...

These files are supposed to contain HTML fragments, that is one or more <p>, <h2>, <ul>, ... elements. No <html> or <body> element.

It is sufficient to provide the language files as configured for lang1 and lang2 respectively.

Email texts

TBD

Welcome email

New password email

Digest email

Digest email style

Help dialog content

TBD

Custom CSS

You can override/extend Linqa's default CSS styles by providing a custom stylesheet. To do so put a file named custom.css to DMX's conf/dmx-linqa/ directory. This stylesheet will be loaded after Linqa's default style, thus allowing easy overriding the default rules.

Use the browser's inspector tool to investigate the Linqa markup and define your custom rules accordingly. Practically all Linqa page elements are equipped with class attributes, making them easily accessible for customization. The major elements use the lq- class prefix.

Examples:

.lq-login, .lq-app-header {
  background-color: white;      /* make Login page and main UI's header white instead of black */
}

.lq-login img.logo {
  filter: invert(100%);         /* apply a filter to Login page's logo */
  margin-left: -81px;           /* outdent Login page's logo */
}

Note: if you run Linqa in development mode (via webpack-dev-server) stylesheet loading order is different. In order to see effect while development you might need to add !important to your custom rules.

Serving custom resources

Basically Linqa makes all files residing in DMX's conf/dmx-linqa/ directory available to the web browser. So you can supply further resource files for your own purposes here. Resource files can be multilingual (individual files per language) or language independent.

In order to access your resource files use this URL format (e.g. inside your custom CSS):

/linqa/config/{file name}/{file type}

For multilingual resource files append a query parameter:

/linqa/config/{file name}/{file type}?multilingual=true

For example, to display a decorative image (zw-snake.png) on both, the Login and the legal pages:

Put the file zw-snake.png into DMX's conf/dmx-linqa/ directory, and

Supply some custom CSS (see above):

.lq-login, .lq-legal {
  background-image: url("/linqa/config/zw-snake/png");
  background-position: bottom right;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Note: in the URL it's .../zw-snake/png, not .png. As explained above this URL will access the corresponding .png file then.

In case you want display a language specific image you'd have to 1) supply one file per language, and 2) use this URL: .../zw-snake/png?multilingual=true. This accesses the image corresponding to the selected UI language then:

conf/dmx-linqa/zw-snake.de.png
conf/dmx-linqa/zw-snake.en.png
conf/dmx-linqa/zw-snake.es.png
...

While the custom logo is limited to PNG files, for the custom resources you can use arbitrary file types.
