Performant Translations

Screenshots

This project uses a new approach to handle translation files in WordPress, making localization blazing fast. An in-depth i18n performance analysis showed that localized WordPress sites load significantly slower than a site without translations. With this plugin’s new approach to localization, this overhead is massively reduced, making your site fast again. If your site is using a language other than English (US), you should see immediate speed improvements simply by activating this plugin. The primary purpose of this plugin is to allow broader testing of these enhancements, for which the goal is to eventually land in WordPress core. Performant Translations supports multiple file formats (.mo and .php), as well as multiple text domains and locales loaded at the same time. By default, it converts existing .mo files to .php and afterwards only loads the translations from the .php file.
