Hi,
I found that many Source has similar structure. [more info: http://groups.drupal.org/node/28494]

some desktop software like poEdit has "automatically translate..." function.
if it can export by keywords that can be more quickly to translate them.

I agree this could be a useful feature, and maybe even replace the current export screen, since we already have a project and release picker here and we could do the format picker on a follow up screen.

also we may need to export "untranslated strings by project", "first 100 untranslated strings".

@KayL: for this later, you can just export the full project translation via the usual export screen and use any tool to filter that. Any desktop PO editor can present you with only the untranslated strings.

Retitled to be more specific as to what we discussed above.

Hi Gábor,

The only reason to not allow this currently is the question of server resource consumption. A fully exported language .po can be 20MB as we estimated in Paris. Now imagine people exporting 20MB files on the fly all the time.

Is it possible to implement this feature in the module while allowing restriction of its use with permissions, this will still allow low resource usage on l.d.o.

People running their own servers will benefit a lot from this feature, it will greatly ease the transfer of translations between the server and sites.

Thanks
