Translations:Help:Extension:Translate/Unstructured element translation/5/en


 * 1) MediaWiki developers usually discourage the usage of $int2 because it fragments the cache. Instead of storing one cached rendered version of a page, when $int3 is used it needs to be cached potentially in hundreds of different languages.
 * 2) It is harder to setup, requiring access to wiki configuration.
 * 3) There is no automatic tracking of outdated translations and completion statistics might be off when new messages are added or deleted.
 * 4) Only wiki administrators can add messages to the message groups and translate them. This means that the system is suitable only for pages which don't change often, or administrators will have a lot of work.
