translatewiki database replication on wmflabs?

Hi. Is it possible translatewiki replicated on wmflabs? Last time I wanted import dump of translatewiki on local database I wasn't aware of turning off innodb indexing so every insert on local db took a long time and I finally gave up. One usecase for this replication would be using translatewiki translations for tools/bot running from wmflabs, for example if I wanted to query what is File: namespace translation of all wikis, I could use translatewiki db (or is there any simpler way? hmm, not making query from each database or wiki). My original request was about finding text patterns that are wrong (on my language) and fix these errors manually. So I think it would be very useful, but is it possible?

You use case seems way too weak for a big request like DB replication; FYI there is a public dump on archive.org. For text patterns I don't know what you mean, does Special:SearchTranslations or Translating:Offline help?

Ok. Thanks

No. That is not very helpful specially for my language. Regex patterns, for example می[^\u200c]

or finding everywhere "ي" character that doesn't belong to Persian is available on Persian translations. Current search can not search about a character.

You can use % wildcard.[1]

This is not working actually. «ي» is a Arabic character (and not Persian) and is used widely on Arabic but result of using % and not using is equal! (I guess you know character differences and misusing of them is not limited to 1 or 2 character on just 1 or 2 languages so having a tool for is vital...)

Ah, then I don't know. Maybe bugzilla:46118 required killing the wildcard, or the index still has to be rebuilt.

Tested again and failed to search characters properly, so is there any chance for having an advanced search or db replication somewhere or only way still is importing dump?

You should probably file a bug about that kind of search, with clear steps to reproduce including e.g. if it's a general problem or only for translatewiki.net.
