Hm... I suppose the "master" copy of the messages in the "primary" language should indeed be maintained by the author, as a flat file in the repository. But the "live" messages could be pulled from a db that is updated automatically. Maybe from there they could be exported again into the tools.
Are you sure you want to query your messages "live" on the database every time?
why not? that's relatively cheap.
If you download them once and store them in some kind of a hash table you need to tell the application somehow to refresh the hashtable.
If you have a persistent application, yes. it could simply discard the hash after an hour or so. But cgi scripts and php applications are restarted for every request anyway.
Not much different from need to go via "svn up".
Sure it's different: it happens automatically. Which is somethign i don't want to happen with code.
In any case: applications should load messages from a database or flat file, on every request or at least periodically every few hours. Messages could be pulled automatically from betawiki. The next step would then be to get such messages into the respective tool's repository. That's the last step, really.
