Hoi,
There are two opposing objectives at play. Performance is one and quality
localisation for MediaWiki in all our projects is the second. Just stating
that performance trumps our localisation is also very much a nono.
These are consequences and they have to be considered. Just breaking the way
our localisation works in this way is at least equally unacceptable as poor
performance is.
Thanks,
GerardM
