[TYPO3-translators] EM and translations download

[Kasper Skårhøj]

My Suggestion:

for (all extensions) {
   for (all locallang*.xml files in extension as $relative_path) {
      $filecontent = t3lib_div:getUrl("http://ter.typo3.org/l10n/". 
$lang.$relative_path);
      if ($filecontent)	{
	t3lib_div::writeFile(PATH_site."typo3conf/l10n/".$lang. 
$relative_path, $filecontent);
      }
   }
}


As you can see I suggest to serve the files completely static from a  
repository with the exact same structure of the target machine. This  
could in fact just be the current localization server!

In order to know which files there are to request and if they should  
be updated I have just made a nice server script for you:

Try this URL and follow the instructions in the "<tip>" tag:

http://194.117.233.66/typo3/t3l10n/typo3conf/l10n/

Example:
http://194.117.233.66/typo3/t3l10n/typo3conf/l10n/? 
langKey=dk&extList=install,lowlevel

Delivers information about danish (dk) files for two extensions,  
"install" and "lowlevel".

The files are given relative to the request url, http:// 
194.117.233.66/typo3/t3l10n/typo3conf/l10n/


This is how simple it can be done. An improvement to my script to be  
that you can also send a list of files to have served as base64  
encoded content inside the XML - to save multiple requests for files  
of course.

Also, one could imagine that the EM know of multiple translation  
servers and could fetch the list from each one and just get the  
translation from the last one fetched. Thus there could be  
alternative servers with translations of sets of extensions (say  
"WEC" extensions or "ETC" extensions).


You can get my script if you like,
