Silverstripe Fluent Export / Import

An extension for silvertripe/fluent

• export and import translations with yml files
• automatically translate content using ChatGPT.

Installation

Important notice

I take no warranty for any data loss. Please backup your database before importing translations.

There is only a check if the yml file has the same locale as you plan to import. Using the import funcitonality will overwrite the related content in the database.

Please validate the yml files before importing them. Take care to escape apostrophs.

Import / Export

Export

Run dev/tasks/fluent-export to export all translations as a zip of yml files.

You can also go to the LocaleAdmin and click on the export button.

Now you can translate the content and import it again.

Import

Translations are imported in LocaleAdmin. Hit the import button and select the zip or yml file you want to import.

Configuration

You can configure fields you don't want to export, e.g. SiteTree's URLSegment:

Automatic Translation

You can use the ChatGPT API to translate your content. To do so, you need to set the API key in your .env file:

Next add extension to all classes you want to translate:

The AutoTranslate extension adds a flag IsAutoTranslated to the class and a field LastTranslation to each locale. It's meant to be controlled by an editor, if the translation is correct.

⚠️ Be aware, that some extensions of other modules might add translated config to a class. Then you have to add IsAutoTranslated and LastTranslation to the translated config as well.

Configuring ChatGPT

You can configure the ChatGPT API in your config.yml:

If you need to configure the gpt_command more dynamically, you can use the following code in an Extension to ChatGPTTranslator:

fluent-ai-autotranslate task

When everything is configured properly you can run the task dev/tasks/fluent-ai-autotranslate do_publish=1 to translate all content to the desired locale.

If IsAutoTranslated of LastTranslation is missing in localised fields, the task will throw a RuntimeException.

Notice: the task can only publish translated content, if you use FluentVersionedExtension instead of FluentExtension on the versioned DataObjects.

Parameters:

• do_publish (required): If set to 1, the task will publish the translated content.
• force_translation (optional): If set to 1, the task will translate all content that is untranslated or marked as previoulsy auto translated, even if it was already translated.
