FeatureRequest: Rescan Locale should include more than the content block

[Seanom]

If you rescan a site multilingual section of a site from the Copy Languages page, (/index.php/dashboard/system/multilingual/copy/tree_copied) The page scans the site and informs you of it's progress. But if you use other blocks that link to internal pages, not all links are replaced with localised versions.

The site appears to rescan links added within content blocks only. Looking in /concrete/src/Multilingual/Page/Section/Processor/ReplaceContentLinksTask.php:24

The rescan locale method should rescan other blocks that can include links.

Potentially using the blocks $btExportPageColumns array.

Out of the box this will include the image slider block but would allow custom blocks that use that value to be scanned and replaced.

I'm keen to work on this we have a potential multi site coming up and this would really help with the translation of the multiple languages, but I can't see a good way to loop over all the blocks without extracting data for each one and then saving it back in.

Would this be a case for running a DB query so that the rest of the data is not changed?

Or should it use the blocks controller to save format the data and save it back?

I guess I'm looking for a method that catches 80% of the blocks. I'd be grateful for any advice on a direction to take.

This should be what is happening in this task:

Concrete\Core\Multilingual\Page\Section\Processor\ReplaceBlockPageRelationsTask - which should be run when you run that rescan task.
