Extension Localisation Wiki using Translate/Exporting Translations

While there are scripts in the maintenance directory for exporting translations on a large scale, most people will not have anywhere near the volume where that becomes necessary - and so exporting using the GUI is usually adequate and easier to use.

Translation files can be exported on a per extension basis from the Special:Translate page.

You should press the edit button beside the extension you wish to export messages for, and then select "Export translations to file from" from the "I want to" box. When you press "Fetch" the PHP file will load, you can then save this and upload it to your version control repository.

Repeat this process for all extensions you wish to export.
