<p>This plugin has no setting or UI. It just does one thing : use the php-gettext library to handle translations. This results in much faster translation than using the default PHP gettext implementation of WordPress.</p>
<p>If the extension is not available, the plugin will simply do nothing.</p>
<p>You can verify that the plugin is working by looking for an HTTP header: X-Native-Gettext: 1, that will be sent as soon as a string will be translated by the native library.</p>
<p>If your WordPress install is in English, this plugin has no purpose. Otherwise, it can help speed up your install quite a lot.</p>
<p>Requirements:<br />
– php-gettext<br />
– OS-level support for the locale(s) you want to translate to.</p>


Native Gettext for WordPress

Great Plugin.

It does one job and it does very good!

With the help of the Query Monitor Plugin, I was able to measure a drop of almost 45% of PHP memory usage using "Native Gettext for WordPress" for a simple Dashboard-request.
Really cool.

The plugin author is answering friendly and helpful to support requests.

Fast & Friendly

No problems found, after testing on several sites. My sites are all heavily dependent on fast loading of text domains, and all have the PHP gettext extension. PHP 8.0 and 8.1.

However, may not work in combination with other WordPress plugins overriding load_textdomain.


Works as it says, fast

A very light wrapper plugin that uses the native gettext library for faster localization.

Name.ly

Namely

<p>Quick Localisation allows to hook on <code>gettext</code>, <code>gettext_with_context</code>, <code>ngettext</code>, and <code>ngettext_with_context</code> so that one can easily tweak WordPress translations generated by functions <code>__</code>, <code>_e</code>, <code>_ex</code>, <code>_n</code>, <code>_nx</code>, <code>_x</code>, <code>translate</code>, and <code>translate_with_gettext_context</code>.</p>
<p>For installation please see the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-localization/installation/" rel="ugc">corresponding section</a>. It is as trivial as copying the plugin folder in your WordPress.</p>
<p>To get the flavour of what the plugin actually does, see the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-localization/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screen shots</a>.</p>
<p>Once installed and activated, the plugin back-end will be accessible via a separate menu in the admin panel (WP Admin -> Quick Localisation).</p>
<p>N.B. by all means this plugin is not a replacement of the standard <a href="http://many.at/wordpress-localisation/translating-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress localisation framework</a>. In fact, webmasters are advised to use it as a long-term solution.</p>
<p>However Quick Localisation comes very handy when quick patches or unconventional translations are required.</p>
<p>The plugin offers the following options.</p>
<h4>Editing Localisation Table</h4>
<ul>
<li>Old text</li>
<li>New text (optional; empty values will remove the localisation subject)</li>
<li>Text domain (allows to target specific plugin or theme “domains”; if set to <code>_ALL_</code> – it will be applied to all matching text)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Export</h4>
<ul>
<li>Allows exporting saved localisation for easy copy-pasting between the sites and backups.</li>
<li>This feature also comes handy later when generating actual <code>.PO</code> files.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Import</h4>
<ul>
<li>It is possible to import previously saved localisations or just copy them from other WordPress sites.</li>
<li>It is possible to empty the localisation database prior to import as well as to choose whether or not to overwrite already existing entries.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Hooks</h4>
<p>At the moment Quick Localisation hooks on <code>gettext</code>, <code>gettext_with_context</code>, <code>ngettext</code>, and <code>ngettext_with_context</code> filters with very low priority (namely, 1000), allowing it to be the last one to have a say on translations.</p>
<p>Should one use other similar <code>*gettext*</code> hooks, the priority can be changed in <code>index.php</code>.</p>
