[RFC] Alternate structure for translation files

[ro0NL]

Looking at the translations/ directory, it holds N*N files. That is each domain, for each locale:

domain.en.yaml
domain.nl.yaml
other.en.yaml
...

instead, i like to propose:

en/
  domain.yaml
  other.yaml
nl/
  domain.yaml

The directory is much less cluttered:

• we see the supported locales
• in the default locale we the supported domains
• adding a new locale is simple like cp -R en fr

Thoughts?

[wouterj]

Or should we have some path_template setting oid that allows you to configure your dir structure? I.e. %locale%/%domain%.yaml?

[ro0NL]

actually i think we can do it more simple, and avoid deprecation or new configs

en/messages.yaml
messages.en.yaml # top-level override

i think these 2 structures are sufficient, and allows to mix&match or stick with your structure of choice

[yceruto]

This is currently supported:

en/
  domain.en.yaml
  other.en.yaml
nl/
  domain.nl.yaml

Can it work for you?
