Hi, i am trying to do something about batch operations with autolocale for drupal 6.x-dev. Nowadays, i have somehow working module, which does something, but has one big bug and tons of needed tweaks.
Please test this. This is related to: http://drupal.org/node/127539 - progressive operations in Drupal which we need for autolocale.
You can find my version of Autolocale here: http://sestka.drupal.cz/modules/autolocale/autolocale.install.phps http://sestka.drupal.cz/modules/autolocale/autolocale.phps
I am not making this as a patch to autolocale yet, because it's not ready (It's hell not ready. It's a proof of concept). There are too many bad paths, notices, strange things. My autolocale is little bit updated for 6.x (working menu, skipping duplicate checks for development phase. You can find it under site building -> automatic import.
Try putting some .po to modules/system/po/system-module.LANGCODE.po and then try importing. It works. But when importing many files, it just don't import anything. But _locale_import_read_po() is called and it opens all needed files.
Please note that: 1) Menu is somehow cached in 6.x. You will not see changes after importing in menu. Look for some hook_help() texts to see if import was succesful 2) batch operation writes "0 processed" after doing the work. everytime...
