Feature to easily copy to other locale.

Problem description

Fork CMS is a "multi-language" CMS.
Sometimes you need to add another language to the CMS and want to have everything duplicated in the new language by using bin/console forkcms:locale:enable.

Currently the following modules have "CopyToOtherLocale" methods/commands available:

• Pages
• ContentBlocks

These are automatically executed when you run bin/console forkcms:locale:enable.

But in other (custom) modules you have to create such feature yourself and you have to execute them yourself.

Expected behavior / Proposed solutions

What if this could be automated very easily by adding the following method in the module installer?!?

$this->addModule('ContentBlocks');
$this->addCopyCommand(CopyContentBlocksToOtherLocale::class);

[Edited]: the above can be replaced by a command bus handler using a specific "symfony tag".

In Fork CMS we are working towards a Domain-base structure with Commands.
I guess if we have a Core CopyToOtherLocale command that we can extend, things will be awesome.

<?php

namespace Backend\Core\Command\Base;

use Backend\Core\Language\Locale;

final class CopyToOtherLocale
{
    /** @var Locale */
    public $toLocale;

    /** @var Locale */
    public $fromLocale;

    public function __construct(Locale $toLocale, Locale $fromLocale = null)
    {
        if ($fromLocale === null) {
            $fromLocale = Locale::workingLocale();
        }

        $this->toLocale = $toLocale;
        $this->fromLocale = $fromLocale;
    }
}

<?php

namespace Backend\Modules\ContentBlocks\Domain\ContentBlock\Command;

use Backend\Core\Command\Base\CopyToOtherLocale;

final class CopyContentBlocksToOtherLocale extends CopyToOtherLocale
{
}

Seems like something that can be integrated easily.

Some thoughts?

Another solution

Using service tags to get all available "copy commands".
