uhm.
a) T() just translates at the "view" level, i.e. when those are actually
serialized ... passing over a module containing "choices" wouldn't ACTUALLY
translate them .
b) admin's management for T() strings is less than optimal with thousands
of elements, and if in the need of a top-class "translation" subsystem I'd
either build a better interface for it or use a different library
alltogether (or even cook my own, as it's just a dict lookup anyway)
c) code to find all translations is
there https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/languages.py#L949
... it **seems** to scout app's modules. In **THAT** case, simply porting
the module over the app's path will fetch all translations (you can then
move out/delete the module, if you have it system-wide). I don't see a way
for web2py to execute each and every code-path in your app to find all
your's translations.
