File-system based term import

Instead of reading a TBX file from the Across API, it is also possible to read it from the file system. For this a configuration file maps the TermCollection name with the file name of the TBX and the collection name with the customer number. In addition the config file defines the import directory, where the files are read from.

Example of the config file for the file system-based import. This file is located under "config" folder inside the TermImport plugin.

;import directory of the tbx files
 importDir=/var/www/translate5/data/import/tbx/;
;mapping between tbx file and term collection name
 [FileMapping]
 Term.tbx=exampletermCollection;
 Term1.tbx=exampletermCollection;
 Term2.tbx=exampletermCollection;
 example2.tbx=exampletermCollection2;
 example3.tbx=exampletermCollection3
;mapping between term collection name and customer number
 [CollectionMapping]
 exampletermCollection3=1000;
 exampletermCollection2=1003;
