Introduction

What does it do?

The extension provides the ability to prevent the download of language packs for configurable extension keys.

This can be useful, for example, for project-specific extensions. It avoids connections to the TYPO3 translation server, which only returns a 404 (not found), and thus helps to reduce the environmental footprint. In addition, private extension keys are not leaked to the translation server.

To see a list of the processed language packs, use the language:update command with the -v option ("verbose") on the console:

vendor/bin/typo3 language:update -v

typo3/sysext/core/bin/typo3 language:update -v

For example, you will see a similar output:

Updating language packs
Updated pack for language "de" for extension "adminpanel"
Updated pack for language "de" for extension "backend"
Updated pack for language "de" for extension "belog"
Updated pack for language "de" for extension "beuser"
Updated pack for language "de" for extension "core"
Fetching pack for language "de" for extension "myproject_site" failed
...

The ModifyLanguagePacksEvent is used under the hood. Of course you can implement this functionality in your own projects. This extension saves you time because you do not have to code the event listener for each project, but only configure the extensions that should be excluded.

Release management

This extension uses semantic versioning which basically means for you, that

• Bugfix updates (for example, 1.0.0 => 1.0.1) just includes small bug fixes or security relevant stuff without breaking changes.
• Minor updates (for example, 1.0.0 => 1.1.0) includes new features and smaller tasks without breaking changes.
• Major updates (for example, 1.0.0 => 2.0.0) breaking changes which can be refactorings, features or bug fixes.
