Installing all the language .po files in one operation?

Posted by drupalshrek on November 28, 2009 at 2:08pm

I am trying to upgrade my website to use the French .PO files, but it seems that I have to manually:
1) use the import (admin/build/translate/import) page to click "Browse..."
2) Browse to the next .PO file in the directory structure where there is a .PO translation file
3) Repeat (1) until the entire Drupal tree is traversed!

I have read the following discussion thread, which implies that it is (was?) not possible:
http://drupal.org/node/12786

A few questions:

a) Is this really the only way to ensure that all the .po files are imported?!?

b) If this is the case, it seems to me that it would not be that difficult (ahem!), to write a little module which traverses the entire Drupal tree of files and calls the function which the install page calls against any .po file it finds. What do you think?

i also installed all the french po files recently, i found that it works perfectly by just copying all the folders with po from the file to the original drupal ones... the user interface within drupal isnt a necessary step. you will find that recent modules like ubercart 2.2 are not at all translated completely into french, on fact only 5 percent which is a bad surprise!

please read my post on this forum today about the automatic drupal translator i am trying to assemble.
