Summary of Changes

Based on the idea of #25403 I created a new version of the PR. What I did not like in the old version was that fixed "master language". From my experience multilingual sites have several different translators and some texts are from language 1 others from language 2. So this is the smaller and more flexible go.

When articles are associated and one of the articles is changed, the associated other articles are marked as outdated. Now the other articles can be updated to keep up with the original.

In the association tab the author can define if it's an "make others outdated" change applied.

Same applies for categegories, contacts, menus, modules, newsfeed

Testing Instructions

  • Apply patch
  • Install several languages
  • Create a content for each language (or install the multilingual sample data) and associate them
  • Change one associated article

Other test:

  • Change an outdated article

Other test:

  • play arround with the dropdown option in the "Associations" Tab in article with outdated articles and not outdated articles

Other tests:
do the same with categegories, contacts, menus, modules, newsfeed

Tested it and I did not change anything I only opened and saved and closed the item, I think it should not be marked then as outdated when nothing is changed than the modified date.

Installing Multilingual Sample Data and at step 3/8, got the following error:

There is an error in a sample data plugin. Response is invalid.

I wonder if "Translation Relevance" is the correct terminology?

Perhaps "Translation Status" is more accurate with the options being Outdated, Updated and Outdated (ignore)

yeah the last option doesnt sound great
