Allow overwriting/overloading of translations with XLF-files
0%
Description
Translations shipped with extensions are defined in XLF-files. But to overwrite (some) translations or provide a new language you currently need to use TypoScript. Maybe it would be interesting to consider loading custom XLF-files for a language. If they contain only a limited number fo strings, only those could be overloaded and other strings be taken from the original XLF.

there is a hook in GeneralUtility for this?!

Hmm, if you supply your own extension, that would be an option then. I thought about some TypoScript-setting like for example _LOCAL_LANG.de.overlayLanguageFile to load an overlay-XLF (or with numeric keys like we have for Fluid with templateFallbackPaths?).

You can provide overrides in TS already.
So, there are imho enough options:
- If you just want to override a couple of labels directly, use _LOCAL_LANG in TS
- If you want to systematically override xlf files, put them to your own .xlf files and register them as override
