Writing locales to nested folders

[v1nayv]

Hello,

I have a project where the yaml files are nested in multiple folders, somethng like
.
└── all_translations/
├── tanslations_set1/
│ └── en.yml
└── translations_set2/
└── en.yml

I can read the the files by pattern */ yml to read all the en.yml files. But when i write it it seems like i am restricted to just one path and the translations are all combined to one file .

How do i write back the missing translations to their respective folders ?

Looking for the end result like so
.
└── all_translations/
├── tanslations_set1/
│ ├── en.yml
│ ├── es.yml (generated)
│ └── fr.yml (generated)
└── translations_set2/
├── en.yml
├── es.yml (generated)
└── fr.yml (generated)

You can setup rules based on the keys in the files with "data.write" in the config:

i18n-tasks/templates/config/i18n-tasks.yml

@davidwessman i see that, but the folder names are not in the yml file. Do you know how can i get the folder name in the write section to write the files at ?

For example:

read:
    - events/account_change/%{locale}.yml
    - events/extension_change/%{locale}.yml

  write:
    - events/account_change/%{locale}.yml
    - events/extension_change/%{locale}.yml

With this configuration the extension_change locale is not written to events/extension_change/%{locale}.yml , i18n tasks writes everything to events/account_change/%{locale}.yml

I would like something to the effect of the following , so that folder_name being written to is dynamic based on where its being read

  write:
    - events/%{folder_name}/%{locale}.yml

As far as I understand,
the normalize-tasks know nothing about the folder names or file names, it only knows the keys.

In my projects we have lots of rules to map the translations into:

• config/locales/models
• config/locales/controllers
• config/locales/views

for example, but it is all based on the keys in the files.

The pattern_router is based on key names. So you map key patterns to files.
If you want to simply keep the keys where they are, use conservative_router.
