Hi guys,
I got some interesting pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party I hope you will all enjoy using.

Basically the plugin allows you to switch to any localizationLocalization Localization (sometimes shortened to "l10n") is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local "look-and-feel." language (and available version: stable or dev) right from your wp-admin.
It’s a hack to solve the problem with the lack of a gettext compiler, but it works. If you can test it and come back with some feedback (bugs or misfunction), I will be happy to fix them before going into wild.

- Your PO parsing function is very naïve. It works only with the simplest PO lines. You should use the POMO library, which lets you read/write PO and MO filesMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/ in PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. http://php.net/manual/en/intro-whatis.php..
- Instead of parsing the PO on every request, you can write a MO file upon download and let WordPress do its job.
- Instead of hardcoding the stable version, you can get the sub-projects from GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. and figure out, which is the stable version: https://translate.wordpress.org/api/projects/wp

  Thanks, I was hoping you will get some time to review it 🙂
  
  Some questions…
  1. I didn’t look initially on pomo class since I thought it might take too much resources (memory) for loading a po. But it makes sense, I’l check it.
  2. Well, it parses only once the po, and stores it’s data as a global for later use. I dropped the idea with MO file since I couldn’t find a download repositoryWordPress Localization Repository The WordPress Localization Repository at https://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/ is a Subversion repository where official WordPress translations are maintained. See Working with the Translation Repository for details. for those. Or you were saying to get the zipball and extract it from there (which is ok for the stable version, but no way for dev) ?
  3. Cool! Thanks a lot, didn’t know about that 🙂

  2. No, I meant that you should download the PO file, then make a MO file out of it and save the MO file for WordPress to use directly. But you no longer need to do it, because I added MO export format to GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. 🙂 Just enjoy https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/bg/default/export-translations?format=mo

    Awesome!!! 🙂
    
    Btw, the api is very-very slow, especially on such queries:
    https://translate.wordpress.org/api/projects/wp/dev
    
    Any ideas, WP_Http::request() ends with WP_Error? 🙁

      Nvm, solved.
