Any demo or screenshots please?

It would be nice if you could create a "Mass Adding Phrase"

I got a makeshift now, where I manually set the phrase type and the product in the php, so everytime I submit I don't have to reselect 'Global' and 'product name '. But like I said, it's a make shift, but that saves me a lot of time.

You are on a roll, lately, Andreas.

That's part of 'Developer Tools' which is currently only released in an early Beta stage @ vBulletin-Germany.org

@Boofo
This ain't new stuff, I've been using it since ages.

Does this work like a SVN?
