Inherit existing translations

[disjfa]

When i set up a symfony project i like to use existing bundles (fos user, knp paginator eq). But when i import translations the existing translations extracted are empty.

<segment>
  <source>resetting.check_email</source>
  <target></target>
</segment>

Can the extractor to be set up to extract the translations, and when a translation exists in the bundle we include the base translation on extract?

<segment>
  <source>resetting.check_email</source>
  <target>An email has been sent to %email%. It contains an activation link you must click to activate your account.</target>
</segment>

Or am i missing a flag that does just this?

Any update here?

Hey. Sorry for the late reply.
This is already supported. See the config key external_translations_dir.

You specify where we should load existing translations and they will be included in the dump.

I see that the docs is missing for this. Could you provide a PR to the documentation?

Just in case someone comes to this issue searching for a way to translate third-party bundle or use their already provided translations...

In config/packages/php_translation.yaml configure the third party bundle directory where translations reside.

This is always Resources/translations.

So, to get loaded in php-translation the translations of FOSUserBundle, use this config:

# config/packages/php_translation.yaml

translation:
  locales: ["it"]
  ...
  configs:
    app:
      ...
      # Use the external_translations_dir to set the path to the "translations" of FOSUserBundle
      external_translations_dir:
        - "%kernel.project_dir%/vendor/friendsofsymfony/user-bundle/Resources/translations"

@Nyholm , I'd like to submit a PR to add this information to the documentation but there is no page mentioning the integration with third-party bundles: any guidance about where to add this information?

Or I do something at my will? :P

Thank you Adamo.
I would love to see a PR to the docs. Maybe add it under http://php-translation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/symfony/configuration-reference.html ?
I think you can create a new page?

Do as you think is best. That will most likely be perfect.
