[Wikitech-l] Adding messages to cache for wfMessage() at runtime
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();

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.)

So, we used to have a $messagecache-add(), but it was removed
after a very very long deprecation.

Just when I was about to use it :) I basically look for this functionality:
* Figure out which localized string to use for language X, in case there is
no message in X. Something like use Russian if Belarusian message is not
available. I remember this was present in pywiki framework, and suspect
mediawiki has it somewhere.
* Expand {{templates}}/PLURAL/GENDER/...

For instance, Mirandese (mwl) falls back to Portugese (pt). Matt Flaschen ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Take a look at the CentralNotice extension. It provides it's own
interface for adding custom translatable messages. There might be some
code there that is useful to you.

Sadly unlikely; CN adds messages by creating WikiPages. ~Matt Walker Wikimedia Foundation Fundraising Technology Team ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
