I'd rather like to get rid of that instead of completely relying on it and the need to keep it up to date. > Maybe this would simplify the code a bit, dunno. Yes, it would, but it would not make it faster unless we modify it to cache multiple languages. The latter would create even more maintenance problems than we already have (out internal gettext is almost always out of date, and I remember that some updates caused problems on some platforms). > One other thing that may be changed also is the way we load po files.
