Hoi, I am happy to have an additional problem with the current status quo. Happy because I have a solution as well. As a consequence of the temporary halt of software going life, the localisations have been waiting to go life for the same amount of time and we at translatewiki.net <http://translatewiki.net>regularly get the question, when are we going to see the fruit of our labour. We even find people not returning to translatewiki.net because of the gap in time that currently exists. To alleviate this problem, I have asked Tom Maaswinkel to write an extension, LocalisationUpdate, that will import the messages in a wiki. The process has been discussed with Brion and Siebrand, I have been testing it for some time now and it will definetlt benefit the quality of our localisation and the quantity of our localisation when it is implemented on all the Wikimedia Foundation projects. I would really love to have this code reviewed as soon as possible and implemented as soon as feasible. Thanks, GerardM 2009/6/6 Erik Moeller &lt;erik(a)wikimedia.org&gt;

Hoi, This script assumes that you have the same software as is running on the Wikimedia servers. The current practice is that all the extensions that are used will be given the same revision number. When you have one other extension, you will not know what the effect is of running this script. Also it is assumed that the underlying software is the same as well (think LAMP). Every now and then the underlying software is patched or new application are installed to make the software work well. Given that this is not handled by Werdna's software it is a scenario that is not without its dangers. Consequently, use it with care AND I do not think that this should be a recommended strategy for our average re-users of MediaWiki and its software.
