I see two ways of doing this: either converting

to .php, or converting MediaWiki to use gettext and .po files directly. The
latter might even be faster for smaller installations (and availability of
gettext is not a problem now that php-gettext exists) - should it be done?
After some basic research on php-gettext, I note there are several
severe draw-backs.
- It is reportedly not thread-safe; any Windows server using it is
at-risk for serious errors
- It apparently caches files and does not check for updates until you
restart Apache
- Because it is an extension, it should not be required
The latter two are especially important if the server is not controlled
by the webmaster (ie, someone else hosts them). This could make it
dificult for them to install an extension or restart Apache.
