Extract translation into translation file

[lazyants]

Is there any way to add a functional for extracting selected translation from twig?
So f.e. I select some string and click on "extract translation". Then I have to enter a translation key and probably select/enter translation domain (if it couldn't be detected). After that translation will be added into translation file and in the twig template the selected string will be replaced with {{ 'translation_key'|trans }}

iam also not happy with translation workflow. that can be much easier. your sounds like a good idea, its on todo list...

i think there will be a couple of things should be implemented step by step

1. we have several formats for storing translations (probably yaml is a simplest one to start)
2. locales could be a dropdown, where the default locale is preselected
3. translation domain - it can be parsed from twig trans function, or from translation domain above, otherwise it standard message domain should be prefilled/preselected

by the way, an other problem could be, if there are several translation domains with the same name living in different bundles.
unfortunately it works already not properly - in this case the symfony plugin can't find the right file with translations

Doesn't work for me.

1> I select the text "I am foobar"
2> I choose "Extract translation"
3> I enter the desired translation key "foobar"
4> I select the domain "messages"
5> I check the "create" checkbox for my bundle
6> I click OK

Then I get an Exception:

IncorrectOperationException: Must not change document outside command or undo-transparent action. See com.intellij.openapi.command.WriteCommandAction or com.intellij.openapi.command.CommandProcessor
