Extract translations from layouts

[fmatsos]

Hi!

I’m creating my personal website with Cecil, which will be available in French (main language) and English.

I use the Twig tag ({% trans %}{% endtrans %}) and filter (|trans) to handle translations for strings/variables. It’s working well when I generate .mo files from a manually created .pot file for testing.

But here’s the problem: there’s no Cecil CLI to extract translations.
So I’m using some custom PHP code to extract them, but it’s not working very well (for example, I can’t extract translation keys from variables). I haven’t found any script or library that can extract ALL translations (tags and filters) from Twig templates.

Do you know of any tool that can do this well?
Is an integrated extract command planned, since Cecil is based on Symfony?

Thank you, and well done on this great app!
