Good $localtime from translatewiki.net. I have been working with Chad and Antoine to resume the daily translation updates from translatewiki.net after the partial git migration of MediaWiki.
Thanks for all of your work :-)
Now the last issue is something I want your opinion on: Is it an issue if we drop pretty formatting of non-English message files? If it is an issue, I request your help to make the maintenance/language/rebuildLanguage.php script to support arbitrary location instead of just the current wiki installation. If it is not an issue, the first diffs will be big because of the change, but remaining ones will be small as usual.
I would suggest to get rid of the pretty formatting. Besides core developers no one has to edit these files.
Furthermore I would be glad if we could remove the dependency from the helper files messages.inc and messageTypes.inc
MessagesEn.php (and not messages.inc) should be the reference for all other MessagesXx.php like we do it with extensions.
Optional to translate messages and messages to ignore for translations could either stay in messageTypes.php or go into Translate specific config file mediawiki-defines.txt like already done for extensions.
