https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63327 --- Comment #4 from Niklas Laxström <niklas.laxstrom(a)gmail.com> --- I can understand that, but I'm not convinced it is a bottle neck currently. I am weighing this against the development effort needed in Translate to support it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63327 --- Comment #6 from Niklas Laxström <niklas.laxstrom(a)gmail.com> --- Are you saying that you parse *all* of *MediaWiki's* i18n files on *startup* for all pywikibot scripts? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63327 --- Comment #8 from Niklas Laxström <niklas.laxstrom(a)gmail.com> --- MediaWiki core has about 500000 strings (all languages together). Pywikibot has 11000 strings. Assuming parsing is linear on the number of strings, for Pywikibot your example would take 0.1 seconds. This leaves some room for growth, non-linear parsing time and slower machines. I would also imagine that you could on startup just dump all the messages in an efficient serialized format provided by python, which is used on subsequent loads, if necessary. I might be able to help with that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

There's a file format and a conversion script that does not yet exist. There are currently 41 distinct i18n components with 129 strings for Pywikibot. Let's double that. 100 components and 300 strings in say 70 languages. That's 5000 files and 21000 strings. MediaWiki core has 3000 strings for English alone in a single file. It's hard to compare. I'd suggest to create some dummy data based on my above assumptions. Sample files are abundant in any MediaWiki extension in i18n/en.json. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
