Hello everyone,
During the Amsterdam Hackathon, we - siebrand, roberthl and myself - have been working on integrating TranslateWiki with pywikipedia.
Yesterday I have committed most of the changes to the rewrite branch. On TranslateWiki, the translations have been online since friday. We already have had 160 contributions!
At the moment, only replace.py uses TW translations. I will commit updated versions for category.py and interwiki.py today. Adapting a script to use TW takes about fifteen minutes. I will send an e-mail to pywikipedia-l on how to do this later today.
Please note the changes will *not* be backported to trunk, as the changes are significant. To help people in switching to the rewrite (it's practically painless!), I will send (another) e-mail to pywikipedia-l on how to set it up.
Best regards, Merlijn 'valhallasw' van Deen
Does the rewrite support all functions the trunk has at the moment? I rembemer a few discussions about the fact (e.g. [1] - german sry) that rewrite in (at least) some of features that are common to trunk...
I do not want to slow down new developments as they are essential, BUT I want everyone to be aware of the possible issues that could arise... :)

If you keep threads together in your mailer, read "*Request for feedback on rewrite branch*". It was started at the end of last March, and the last relevant letter from Russel arrived on 02 September (which said, the rewrite branch could not parse XML dumps at that time, which is important for me). Further answers to this question should preferably arrive to that thread, too, in order to keep this topic together for later search.

and reading there:
fairly trivial problem to fix), and because it relies on the API, it cannot do anything the API is not yet enabled for (like retrieving the contents of Special:DoubleRedirects and many other special pages).
which is the important part for me... ;)

I see... Thanks for the hint!
Great job. I have seen your comments about the Hackathon. :-)
