If I want to translate categories, category-descriptions and tags in my forum to 10 different languages, I have to create and upload 3 x 10 = 30 separate files for configuration and updates.
I’m thinking about having all translations in one file with following structure:
categories:
slug:
_de: German name
_en: English name
.description:
_de: German description
_en: English description
tags:
tag:
...
This would have several benefits:
- All translations could be updated at once
- Translators see context during translation
- Streamline translation tasks utilizing Large Language Models
Has anyone tried this before?
Are there any downsides I do not see?
Regarding a first implementation, I will try to write a plugin that creates and updates all needed entries in Multilingual::CustomTranslation.
