[TYPO3-dev] EM translations

[Martin Kutschker]

Hi!

Is the following description true:

The EM loads a zip file for a given package in a certain language into
typo3temp. This will be extracted into typo3conf/l10. When the user
requests new translations, the EM will look if it has a zip file, will
NOT download a new translation, and will simply say "OK".

If this is true, then this not very good. First of all, the EM only has
the message "ERR" and "OK" beside "Could not fetch translation status"
(whatever that means). It should have messages like: "no translation
available", "translation is up-to-date" (no file fetched!), "could not
fetch translation" (an error has occurred).

Anyway, there seems to be missing a way to tell if the translation
server has a newer (or at least different) version of the translation.
So in typo3conf/l10 there should be an info file that contains a time
stamp and a MD5 hash of the fetched zip file (may be the file size and
the date of the last fetch as well).

This info files allows us to compare against the current version on the
translation server. Additionally that allows us to get rid of the zip
files in the typo3temp.

Any comments?
