VCS friendly updates

Hey @potsky,

It would be nice to update translations without changing content of basically whole translation's file. In this situation, when you create new translation string you don't commit change with bunch of changed lines but just with one insert.

Hi,

the whole file is regenerated but the same method as on previous run so it is not changed. Here is a example of a modification:

How can you get a whole changed file with a new line for example?

I was thinking only about new translations. Let me give you a quick example for that:

Instead of that:

<?php

return  [
  //============================== New strings to translate ==============================//
  'h1' => 'JOIN ZOPTOMA - ABSOLUTELY FREE!',
  //==================================== Translations ====================================//
  'register_button' => 'Sign up',
];

I would like to get this:

  //==================================== Translations ====================================//
  'h1' => 'JOIN ZOPTOMA - ABSOLUTELY FREE!',
  'register_button' => 'Sign up',
];

That would avoid a lot of git conflicts while few people in the team works on similar translations at the same time.

You should remove comments from the lang files, shouldn't you?

By using the -c or the --no-comment option.

[adriandmitroca]

Would that remove separation between new and old translations?

[potsky]

Necessarily because you want h1 to be with register_button lemma or there is something, which I did not catch :-(

You will be able to check new strings to translate by searching for TODO or your custom marker.
