Please enable the [[mw:Extension:LocalisationUpdate]] extension on Wikimedia Incubator, with automatic updates. Community discussion was at [[incubator:Incubator:Community_Portal#LocalisationUpdate]] and the only issue is stability, so please enable it when it is stable enough. Thanks.
Assigning to myself for review.
Suggest WONTFIX. The extension uses hooks to do a DB query on every wfMsg() call, this would be excessively slow. HTTP fetches are done by a cron job. It would be simpler and more efficient to put this in the cron job instead: find -name \*.i18n.php -or -name Messages\*.php -exec svn up scap
(In reply to comment #2) > Suggest WONTFIX. The extension uses hooks to do a DB query on every wfMsg() > call, this would be excessively slow. Good point. It should probably hook into message loading and load all (relevant) messages from the DB then. That'd reduce it to one query at initialization and one for every unique wfLoadExtensionMessages() call. > HTTP fetches are done by a cron job.

Reassigning to Tim for further cleanup on the ext.
Has been since cleaned up. Now running!
