Translate extension should not reparse Gettext definition files for GettextDocumentationAid
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: lockalsash

Description:
It seems that Translate extension reparses .pot files on each message edit. So more messages in definition file means longer loading time for edit form or page. Files with about 16000 messages leads to inevitable timeout on each message edit. Why messages can't be accessed only through the database?

bzimport set Reference to bz37168.
bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

It is loading comments which are not stored in the database.

I guess those should be added to the message cache, then?

[mediawiki/extensions/Translate@master] Use MessageGroupCache in GettextDocumentationAid

This requires quite a bit of refactoring that affects many parts of the code, so this will take a while and requires careful testing. Incidentally, this also cleans up directly or makes it easy to clean up a lot of tech debt.

Related changes have been merged, and deployed on twn. We will be monitoring them for a few days, and looking for any issues with Gettext based projects. If everything looks good, we will resolve this task.

Haven't noticed any issues due to these changes on twn. Resolving the task.
