[script] MODx translation tool

While working on Polish translation I faced a problem with sorting out differences: which entries were new and which disappeared. In some part this was due to new sorting of language files, which is a good change, besides.

I thought of a way to figure out the changes automatically for me. Then I wrote this little script to do the tedious work for me. Never send a human to do a machine’s job.

It’s a draft rather than a finished work, so please be understanding about it. It’s very simple and primitive and doesn’t being called how I did call it. I think I just had to tickle my vanity

But, being serious, it could be a nice idea to provide a translation tool in MODx itself. What I could think of is a module (as we know it in 0.9.5), which allows to type translation for each entry in every language file into form fields and then saves it to the right place. What you think?

Nice Grad I’ll give it a try !

Very cool indeed grad.

Translation tools in MODx will be something very nice to have indeed.

Well, to be honest, it’s not my idea but as usual I saw it somewhere, namely in Xaraya. Anyway, that would be an important step towards user friendliness. I can imagine it would be useful not only for translation per se but also manager customization. And it should certainly provide a search functionality.
