File Bulkupload Translations

Managing multilingual file fields in Drupal means editing each translation one by one — open the form, upload, save, switch language, repeat. For 10 languages, that's 10 round-trips.

File Bulkupload Translations eliminates that workflow. Drop all your translated files at once (report_en.pdf, rapport_fr.pdf, bericht_de.pdf…) and the module creates every translation automatically. What used to take minutes now takes seconds.

How it works

1. Upload multiple files in a single operation
2. The module extracts the language code from each filename using a configurable regex
3. Translations are created (or updated) instantly — no extra clicks

Live regex tester

Not sure your filenames will match? The built-in tester gives you real-time visual feedback right on the settings page. Paste your filenames, pick a mode (suffix, prefix, or custom regex), and see exactly what gets extracted — highlighted in context, with green/red status for each file.

Three modes out of the box:

• Suffix — report_en.pdf, document-fr.docx
• Prefix — en-report.pdf, fr_document.docx
• Custom regex — any pattern you need

Manage translations without leaving the form

All existing translations are displayed in a table directly inside the widget. From there you can:

• Edit any translation in a modal dialog
• Remove a translation with one click

Everything is AJAX-powered — the table refreshes automatically, no page reload needed.

Smart validation

The module catches problems before they happen:

• File with a language code not enabled on your site? Rejected with a clear message.
• Two files for the same language in one upload? Blocked immediately.
• Invalid regex? The live tester tells you right away.

Translation publish status

Control how new translations are published:

• Match source — inherits the published/unpublished status of the source entity
• Always published
• Always unpublished (draft) — for review workflows

Requirements

• Drupal 11
• Content Translation, Field UI, and Media (core modules)
