Feature: import from & export to multiple files per locale.

[lime]

When importing keys for a secondary locale, I would like Tolk to be able to read from multiple YAML files. Currently it's limited to one plain #{locale}.yml, and leaves out keys from files such as lists.sv.yml, products.sv.yml and so on.

For the primary locale, we are already calling I18n.backend.send(:translations) to get all keys, even when split over multiple files. I would assume that we could do the same for secondary locales?

---

Likewise, it would ease my translation management a lot if Tolk was able to output translations to multiple paths, following the naming used in the primary locale. I see two alternative ways to achieve this:

1. Store the original file path for each Tolk::Phrase in the db.
2. Traverse the keys of each primary locale file when dumping to see which translation goes where.

---

I looked through the import / export / sync files, and got the feeling that there's quite a bit of work ahead if I want to get this working. Therefore I thought I'd reach out first to see if others consider this a feature worth pursuing.

In version 1.8 (if i remember correctly) we did something close. We use a regex to filter wich yml files are loaded. Improving this feature could help with your concern I think.

This commit is maybe a start point:

The feature you describe would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks for the reply, I'm happy to hear this feature would be considered useful.

At the moment I am using a commercial SaaS for translation management, meaning it is not too likely I will start working on this feature for Tolk in the near future. It's up for grabs if anyone wants to give it a shot. :)
