Description
We are somewhat limited in the extensibility of translations with the current approach. The use case would be a package that defines labels for a reusable component (e.g. a controller with flash messages) or the default labels of FLOW3. How can a user package override these values?
Even if we will not implement this right away we should make sure that our current implementation and API supports this use case, because re-use will be limited if translations of packages cannot be overriden.
Of course there could be problems with loading order of resources but I think the abstraction with XliffModel could support this use case by chaining multiple XliffModels to allow for a inheritance of translations. The question would remain how this could be configured.
