GraphQL string translation

The module exposes the translation field that can be used to connect Drupal's translation system with GraphQL.

Usage

query translationQuery($language: LanguageId!) {
  textOne: translation("Text one", $language)
  textTwo: translation("Text two", $language)
}

The returned values are translations of the given texts in the graphql context, so regular drupal interface strings won't be returned. There's a simple page showing just these under /admin/config/graphql/string-translation.

Adding new strings

The default setting is that the non-existent strings requested with the field are not added to the translation system. This means that non-privileged users can request translations for the strings from a pre-defined list (those with the context set to graphql). Strings can be added in the settings form at /admin/config/graphql/string-translation.

This behavior can be overridden by the Request translations of arbitrary strings permission. Strings requested by the accounts with this permission will be added to the system. The permission has security implications and should be given only to trusted roles.

Requirements

• The translation page requires the patch from #2123543: Add string context and location filters to the translate interface to work correctly.
• The 1.x branch is only compatible with the versions of the GraphQL module that are based on Youshido's library (up to 8.x-3.0-beta5).
• The 2.x branch is only compatible with the versions of the GraphQL module based on webonyx's library (since 8.x-3.0-beta6).
