generate language files

Open frostschutz opened this issue 14 years ago • 1 comments

Should PluginLibrary offer a function to generate language files?

Pro:

  • plugins providing custom fields/contents could need it (uncertain, similar to how settings translation works?)

Neutral:

  • language files are dead simple so it's trivial to do yourself

Cons:

  • bad if developers get the wrong idea and start generating static language files dynamically for no reason (should be shipped as static files)

As PluginLibrary is designed for advanced plugin developers, the con may not be an issue. However, proper documentation/comments should curtail most issues.
