PHPStorm extension to quickly localise strings.

Installable Jar is available at https://files.wheregroup.com/s/63SxXCcLDq6rJJs

Usage - Extract hardcoded string

• Select a hard-coded string in a PHP, JS or twig file.
• Press Ctrl-Numpad1 (can be changed in Settings) or Tools -> Extract Translation in the menu
• Enter a translation key (e.g. mb.actions.myaction) and all translations you know. The previously selected text will be prepopulated as the English text.
• Press Enter. The selected text will be replaced by the entered key, including Mapbender.trans in JS files and {{ key | trans}} in twig templates

Usage - Modify existing translations

• Select an existing mapbender translation string in a PHP, JS or twig file.
• Press Ctrl-Numpad2 (can be changed in Settings) or Tools -> Modify Translation in the menu
• All existing translations to that key will be shown. You can modify the translation key and the individual translated strings for all languages
• You can automate translations by clicking the world icon next to the string you want to use as your translation source using a local installation of libretranslate (see below)
• Press Enter. All modified translations will be updated in the yaml-files

Building the plugin

• Call ./gradlew buildPlugin
• The plugin will be saved in build/libs and can be installed via File - Settings - Plugin - Settings Icon - Install Plugin from Disk

Automated translations

The plugin supports automated translations using LibreTranslate. You can only use a locally installed version at the moment to avoid API Key problems.

Installation is very easy (python 3 required):

pip install libretranslate
libretranslate --load-only de,en,fr,es,pt,ru,uk,tr,it,nl --update-models # first-start
libretranslate --load-only de,en,fr,es,pt,ru,uk,tr,it,nl # subsequent starts

The service must run on port 500p0 (default). Now you can use the globe icon in the Modify translation dialog to automate translations.
