And to make things even more interesting, now there's also jQuery.i18n, which has similar functionality: https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime/
It's a library that provides the same message syntax and grammar / gender / plural features, but is more portable (independent of MediaWiki). It's already used for parts of the UniversalLanguageSelector extension, to make them as portable as possible. There are no current solid plans to make wider use of it in MediaWiki, but I'd love to see it replace as much of our messages system as possible. There are some technical challenges - the message file format is different (essentially JSON), the way the files are loaded is different, and the application of messages to the page is different. Some changes in ResourceLoader will probably be needed to make it robust and easy to use in the rest of MediaWiki. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
