Subject: Re: Locale.module improvements of Gerhard

I would be happy to test and report/fix bugs, because this module really
needs some work..

I hope the majority of the work is done. Since Dries wanted me to change
the database structure as well it is nearly a rewrite. Due to this it
won't make it for 4.4., but I will provide a contrib module.

Why a contrib-module? Why can't these chages hit the core? The
locales.module really needs work as said y Dries already months ago. Can't
we get this inside the core by changing some code or giving this some more
thought first? Dries?

It *will* be in core sometime later, but not in the next stable version. The code freeze is in, and there are a lot of interesting improvements in Drupal that should be released in a stable version. Putting a new locale module in now would potentially break a lot of things.

We have been working on fixing the whole core, so we are able to generate a POT file out of the code, which can be a base for translations, that was really a good step forward to a more gettext oriented locale system. Gerhard's locale module needs serious testing, and I must admit I had no time to look into it yet, since I am busy with other stuff around Drupal currently (filter caching debuted some hours ago).
