TMGMT Bulk

Translation Management Bulk Job Creation

The module allows bulk creation of TMGMT jobs basing on the already existing translations.
For example, you can create a job with all locale strings that 1) are translated to German and 2) not exist in other TMGMT jobs.

To get the idea of the module, check the initial task written by Schnitzel:

We make a lot of effort to find all the Items we have to translate for one additional language. But for the next languages, most of the time, we just need to translate all the already translated strings and with this we almost have all the strings for this new language covered.

Let's say we have English language as default language, now we make the effort to find all the strings to be translated in Chinese, after this is done, we would like to automatically create a new Job with translations from English to Japanese, and all the items which have a translation with chinese should be included.

My Idea would be to have a new tab in TMGMT somewhere where you can select the language the strings should be extracted from (in this case chinese) and to which language the strings should be translated (in this example japanese).
There should be also the possibility to select which tmgmt sources should be included, because sometimes we need all (content, locale, etc.). But maybe sometimes we only need locale and panel strings.

Additional important: only add the items for which there is no translation yet existing in Japanese and/or there is no job which this item is in.

So this whole thing will be a bit complex to be run with only 1 form that can be submitted and a job is created.
Because maybe for the locales I wanna have all the strings which have the customized flag of l10n_update. For Panels I wanna have all the ones which where already existing in other Jobs in a specific language. And for Nodes I want to have all the ones which a translation already exists in another language (and define this language). But I guess we can use the TMGMT Cart System. So that basically to achieve this example I would submit a form 3 times, and every time it adds more strings to the Cart. Which after submitting the form 3 times I will go to the cart and from there create jobs from it.

Usage

Install module as usual. After that you'll find Administration » Translation » Bulk job creation (admin/tmgmt/bulk) page.
