file_bulkupload_translations
Managing multilingual file fields in Drupal means editing each translation one by one — open the form, upload, save, switch language, repeat. For 10 languages, that's 10 round-trips.
File Bulkupload Translations eliminates that workflow. Drop all your translated files at once (report_en.pdf, rapport_fr.pdf, bericht_de.pdf…) and the module creates every translation automatically. What used to take minutes now takes seconds.
How it works
- Upload multiple files in a single operation
- The module extracts the language code from each filename using a configurable regex
- Translations are created (or updated) instantly — no extra clicks
Live regex tester
Not sure your filenames will match? The built-in tester gives you real-time visual feedback right on the settings page. Paste your filenames, pick a mode (suffix, prefix, or custom regex), and see exactly what gets extracted — highlighted in context, with green/red status for each file.
Three modes out of the box:
- Suffix —
report_en.pdf,document-fr.docx - Prefix —
en-report.pdf,fr_document.docx - Custom regex — any pattern you need
Manage translations without leaving the form
All existing translations are displayed in a table directly inside the widget. From there you can:
- Edit any translation in a modal dialog
- Remove a translation with one click
Everything is AJAX-powered — the table refreshes automatically, no page reload needed.
Smart validation
The module catches problems before they happen:
- File with a language code not enabled on your site? Rejected with a clear message.
- Two files for the same language in one upload? Blocked immediately.
- Invalid regex? The live tester tells you right away.
Translation publish status
Control how new translations are published:
- Match source — inherits the published/unpublished status of the source entity
- Always published
- Always unpublished (draft) — for review workflows
Requirements
- Drupal 11
- Content Translation, Field UI, and Media (core modules)
