Current translation process does not use .mo files, we only use .po files as a bag of matching strings (msgid -> msgsrt) to do search and replace inspecting tt, xml and js files.
I know that. What I suggested was to use .mo files as bag of strings too. But that may require additional dependencies, so it may not be worth it, especially if:
.mo binary files are not much smaller than .po files :)
I just did a small test: msgfmt -o fr-FR-staff-prog.mo fr-FR-staff-prog.po gzip -k fr-FR-staff-prog.po du -h fr-FR-staff-prog* 824K fr-FR-staff-prog.mo 2,1M fr-FR-staff-prog.po 392K fr-FR-staff-prog.po.gz So, .mo files are smaller than .po files, but not as small as gzipped .po Which is kind of disappointing :/ Anyway, I just wanted to know if you had considered this approach.
