translate_tool

Development helper for translation management

When developing a multilingual site, you might want to add new translatable strings and their translations in a hook_update_N(), hook_post_update_NAME(), Drush's hook_deploy_NAME(), or hook_install().

This module adds a service that can help you with that:

function hook_post_update_NAME(&$sandbox) {
  $tt = \Drupal::service('translate_tool');

  $tt->add('horse', 'da', 'hest');
  $tt->delete('horse');'
}

Or if you prefer a procedural interface (update and install hooks are procedural anyway):

function hook_post_update_NAME(&$sandbox) {
  translate_tool_add('horse', 'da', 'hest');
  translate_tool_delete('horse');'
}

You can also add a context:

function hook_post_update_NAME(&$sandbox) {
  $tt = \Drupal::service('translate_tool');

  $tt->add('horse', 'da', 'hest', 'my-context');
  $tt->delete('horse', 'my-context');'
}

Using context in a procedural style:

function hook_post_update_NAME(&$sandbox) {
  translate_tool_add('horse', 'da', 'hest', 'my-context');
  translate_tool_delete('horse', 'my-context');'
}

The default context is used if you don't specify one yourself.
