Feature: #67909 - Add hook to DataHandler - localize - translateToMessage¶

Description¶

By introducing a new hook to the localize() function (the translateToMessage part in particular) you are now able to use external translation services and speed-up translation of the content and even add a custom transliteration function that would handle various content transformations.

Impact¶

A new hook is available at:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php']['processTranslateToClass']

Implement it for example as follows:

class YourHookClass {
	public function processTranslateTo_copyAction(&$content, $lang, $dataHandler, $fieldName) {
		// Do something with content (translate, transliterate etc)
	}
}

Note¶

Since Version 8.7.16 hooks now get a fourth parameter for the currently processed fieldname.
