Composer plugin to download translation files for WordPress core, plugins and themes from wordpress.org. Updated for Composer 2 and based in the original repository by @bjornjohansen.
First run:
composer require mindtwo/wplang
Edit your composer.json file, and add this lines at the following section:
"extra": {
"wordpress-languages": [ "en_GB", "nb_NO", "sv_SE" ],
"wordpress-language-dir": "wp-content/languages"
}
Customize the languages and language dir to suite your needs. Here's our list of used languages:
[ "ca", "da_DK", "de_DE", "en_US", "es_ES", "fi_FI", "fr_FR", "it_IT", "ja_JP", "nb_NO", "nl_NL", "pl_PL", "pt_PT", "ru_RU", "sv_SE", "tr_TR", "zh_CN" ]
Also as we're using Bedrock from the Roots stack, we should change the wordpress-language-dir to:
web/app/languages
Finally run:
composer update
Now Composer will try to pull down translations for all your packages from wordpress.org every time you install or update a package.
This package Started as a fork of Angry Creative’s Composer Auto Language Updates, but has since been rewritten. It is not compatible with the original package at all, but this package would probably not have existed with the first. There are probably some code in this package that the original author will still recognize. Last fork for compatibility changes made by Mirai.
