LocalisationUpdate is rewritten for JSON file format support for extensions. This is compatible with MediaWiki 1.19 and above.
 * Extensions using JSON are fully supported and LocalisationUpdate will pickup new languages as they appear.
 * LocalisationUpdate will store translation using JSON file format. If extension is not yet migrated to JSON, messages will be stored as PHP file.

Default repository source to fetch translation. MediaWiki's Github mirror is set to default repository to fetch translations. This is added with version 1.1.

$wgLocalisationUpdateRepositories
Array of repositories URLs from which to retrieve localisations for core MediaWiki and extensions. Default is set to GitHub's MediaWiki Git repositories and you should not change this unless you're using this performance improvement or otherwise know what you're doing. This is added with version 1.1.
