I have a message dictionary in the form of {languageCode => message, ...}, and looking for a way to inject those messages into the message cache.
My immediate reaction was to suggest that you create wikipages of all the messages. But I'm guessing this is for Zero and you can't have those messages being changed?
Can you not just parse the messages yourself? About all that wfMessage beyond the parser is giving you is the cache abstraction (which is mostly overhead in your case, it sounds like you already have all the strings in memory.)

Hi, I need to use the localization framework - wfMessage() to translate my own custom messages. I have a message dictionary in the form of {languageCode => message, ...}, and looking for a way to inject those messages into the message cache. The actual messages dictionary is stored as a custom setting as part of a json blob, and cannot be added to the regular $message['xx'] = '...'; for translatewiki. Thanks!
Usage scenario:
// Array is generated from an external source and will look like this: $messageMap = array('en'=>'aaa', 'fr'=>'b {{SITENAME}} b', ...);
// Some magic method to add the entire message map into message cache messageCache->Add('custom-key1', $messageMap);
// Process message // Note that in case 'fr' is not defined, it should fallback using default resolution rules. $result = wfMessage('custom-key1')->inLanguage('fr')->text(); _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
