Write translations to .yml file (or an external php file)

Not officially.
Unofficially, in a plugin, you could override the dialogs that store the data.

Here’s an example implementation that stores the data in a yaml file in a “vars” directory (like the quick tip). You could adjust it so that it does the right thing for you.

<?php

use Kirby\Cms\App;
use Kirby\Data\Data;
use Kirby\Filesystem\F;

class TranslationsStore {
    protected $cache;

    public function __construct(protected readonly string $language) {
        $this->cache = null;
    }

    public function root() {
        return kirby()->root('languages') . "/vars/{$this->language}.yml";
    }

    public function fetch(): array {
        if($this->cache !== null) {
            return $this->cache;
        }

        $root = $this->root();
        if(file_exists($root)) {
            $this->cache = Data::decode(F::read($root), 'yaml');
        } else {
            $this->cache = [];
        }
        
        return $this->cache;
    }

    protected function store(array $arr) {
        $filename = $this->root();
        $this->cache = $arr;
        F::write($filename, Data::encode($arr, 'yaml'));
    }

    public function create(string $key, string $value):void {
        $arr = $this->fetch();
        $arr[$key] = $value;
        $this->store($arr);
    }

    public function delete(string $key):void {
        $arr = $this->fetch();
        unset($arr[$key]);
        $this->store($arr);
    }

    public function update(string $key, string $value):void {
        $arr = $this->fetch();
        $arr[$key] = $value;
        $this->store($arr);
    }    
}
