Make it possible to select/deselect specific modules for updates

Agreed.

There is in fact a po-reimporter module that apparently supported this for .po files shipping with modules. Although it does not do much else that l10n_update does, so I've submitted a request for that to be deprecated in favor of l10n_update (#1133198: Phase out this module in favor of l10n_update?). Introducing per-module updates would be great.

What is the status? I realy look forward to this feature:)

any update on this?

yes, would be very nice to pick and choose. one module in particular, the i10n_client module would be nice to not have translation installed

+1

+ subscribe. For e.g. you want to make sure that only certain parts for website/admin site are stranslated not all of them, as I am used that Views, Panels modules are in English. Plus it is easier to find contentent for translation when there are no translations imported.

I'd like to keep the common tasks of this module simple. Adding module selection will make the 7.x-2.x user interface significantly more complex. Therefore I will not accept this feature request. I do recognise the requirement of translation per module, and propose to use drush instead. Please collaborate on #1982580: drush command l10n-update - specify modules to update translations to get that functionality added.

Could you please reconsider this?
This would be very very useful.

Example use case:
I just need the translations for the Date module, I don't want to load my database (and slow down my site) with translations for 150 modules (and very big ones like Commerce) just because I need the months and weekdays in my language.
Everything else is translated manually because I want the backend interface to stay in english for consistency.

What about using Drush to update a single module translation? Or you can update the translation manually.

I still don't see enough arguments to reconsider my point of view.
