Translations:Help:Extension:Translate/Group configuration/1/en

There are many ways of adding message groups to Translate extension. Message groups are collection of messages. Usually they compare to one module in a software and one file (and usually one per language for translations). It is also possible to make groups that include messages from other message groups. For example there can be group that includes all messages in a given software. Groups can also include just subsets of messages, like the most important messages of MediaWiki that should be translated first. These higher level groups do not map directly to files in any particular format, but like all groups they can be exported in Gettext format for use in other translation tools.
