Thread:User talk:Nike/Integration with IMSLP/reply (3)

Here is the reply by Feldmahler: "I'm not entirely sure what Nike means by "standard". If he means having a separate i18n PHP file, then the problem is that it does not support user translations out of the box. If he means using the MediaWiki namespace, then the problems are (1) it is even less user friendly than the current setup, and (2) the database lookups are probably pretty expensive in comparison. It seems to me that the transaction costs of using TranslateWiki is proportionally much larger for IMSLP because IMSLP is not a dedicated software development team (or more precisely, is written by me alone), and do not have all the bells and whistles set up for such a collaboration." What do you think, Nike? Do you think it is worth to look further into it?
