Solution for max_input_vars in translation (prestashop 1.6)

[Grif]

I found a workaround (kind of) for max_input_vars in translations module (only for modules and front office).

This is usefull if web hosting company does not want to increase the max_input_vars.

There are though some disadvantages:

-  modules and front-office templates translations must be edited and save separately, although there are on the same page (after you edit a module or template translation you must save it right away)

- front office: you can't leave blank a translation after you modified it.

 

Instructions (for prestashop 1.6):

- make a backup of your translation files before (just in case)

- copy AdminTranslationsController.php in controllers/admin

- copy translation_form.tpl and translation_modules.tpl in admin_folder/themes/default/template/controllers/translations/helpers/view.
