774239 - [bedrock] need to be able to merge strings for a single template, not the whole repository

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Bedrock, defect, P1)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

l10n_extract + l10n_merge will extract and merge strings from the whole codebase. It creates a lot of files and strings which either are not ready for localization (because the copy is not yet final for example), or do not correspond to the deadlines we have (product relases, events...). That's a lot of noise for both l10n_drivers and localizers.

We need a way to be more granular and extract strings and l10n blocks from a defined template so as to only generate the .lang files we need for product releases.

For example:
l10n_extract path/to/the/template + l10n_merge

Thanks

Triaging, these needs analysis by bedrock devs.
