I'm trying to properly understand the translation system in tb/PS. Please confirm or correct me in the following:
Front office translations: Only theme translation.
Back office translations: Only core translations, theme independent.
Error message translations: Only core translations, theme independent.
Field name translations: Only core translations, theme independent.
Installed modules translations: Core and theme translations.
PDF translations: Core and theme translations.
Email templates translation: Core and theme translations.
The structure is mirrored in the file directory of tb. If I want to translate directly in the files instead of through the backend translation tool, I can do so.
Theme or core?
1-4 only have either theme or core, so choosing which to translate is easy. But 5-7 have files both in the core and in the theme. My understanding (coming from here) is that the core is the default. If I select a theme, all translations from the core will be copied to the theme. So module X in core becomes module X in theme.
Updates
Updates from tb will overwrite the core. If I'd like customised translations, I should make edits in the theme.
