One year ago, a refactoring at the Gettext .po file parsing and generation started.

Finally, that issue has been fixed. I were working with Sutharsan, ClemensTolboom, GaborHojtsy and Attiks on this issue at the Drupal Developer Days sprint, and after the sprint we finally (well, mostly Gábor...) pushed forward to its completion.

The new design is something like this:

I'm very grateful for their help on being started on contributing to the D8MI Initiative, and hopefully I'll be working on more things into the D8MI sprint. Any help is welcome!

So third day of the Sprint, with Peter, Clemens and I working on Gettext. It would be the last day for Clemens, so we expected to do great advances :-)

Day started great, and I don't get stuck like previous days with obvious things. We kept with the refactoring and finally core/includes/gettext.inc could be removed. w00t!

Thanks to Gábor's explanation we understood what was expected for the batch API part of this, so we are able of advancing on that, but maybe on another issue context. This one became too big and splitting it could be of help. Peter wrote some more integration tests, and I finished fixing plurals handling and cleaning up some methods. Thanks Clemens for your patience, and hope that we can advance without you in the next days!

Ok, so I failed on Tuesday on updating the blog, but a quick summary.

Clemens and I kept working on the Gettext component on D8MI sandbox. I got a little lost and we had an Skype call in the morning were he explained me what he was expecting. We did some clean up and kept working on it. Some commits got into the sandbox, but lot of works still remaining. Fortunately, in the afternoon Attiks joined us, so more hands (and brain) on code!
