Provide an option to automatically update translated applications

ptk Public · May 3 2023

Idea Summary
I work a lot with translated applications. It is a time consuming (and easily forgotten) chore to constantly seed/publish every time after importing an application update. 

Use Case
When importing/updating translated applications. When you do it a LOT, it's a manual process that's easily forgotten.
Note: I have never yet had a situation where I didn't immediately need to update the translated app after an import!

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Have a setting somewhere (application level, maybe?) where you can tick a box to say ‘update translated application(s)’. So, when  I import the app I don't have to go through the seed/publish cycle constantly.

This request is likely a duplicate of FR-3121.

    to constantly seed/publish every time after importing an application update.

    Maybe your process can be modified to export and import both the primary and translated apps. We never seed/publish after an import.

    Hmm, didn't know you could export the translated apps - just checked and indeed they are there. I thought they used to be hidden but maybe not. 
    However you do still have to seed/publish all the time to ensure the translated versions are up to date - it would still be handy to have an option for this to be done automatically somewhere.

    An option may be to support a default dictionary and translations for words and abreviations of all strings text in the app. When run the application it must take the language the each user choosed to change the language.

    If exist a string used by the developer that isn't exist on the dictionary, APEX must query to add it to its translations.

    The application must suscribe to certain languages to have this behavior enabled
