Performant translations and Redis

    Hey there,

    I currently have to exclude these groups from Redis Object cache (as recommended by the plugin developer):

    Ignored Groups: [ “WPML_TM_ICL_Translations–translations”, “counts”, “plugins”, “theme_json”, “themes”, “WPML_ST_Package_Factory”, “wpml-all-meta-product-variation”, “ls_languages”

    Would installing this plugin change anything? If I don’t exclude translations from the object cache I will get Redis Timeouts. This is also reported by others.

    The “Redis Object Cache Drop-In by Till Krüss” told me and others that they stopped supporting WPML because it never seems to work well.

    Will there ever be a native way to translate sites in WordPress? Many people in the world need to serve their site in multiple languages and currently it is not a stable / easy process.

    This plugin makes the process of loading translation files faster. It doesn’t affect custom logic in other plugins that use other means for translation, and also doesn’t really affect anything object cache related.

    So the answer probably is: no, it won’t change anything.

    Native support in WordPress core for multilingual websites is on the roadmap. It’s still a couple of years out though I’d say.

    In the meantime, if your current solution for multilingual sites doesn’t work well, there are a lot of alternatives out there such as Polylang or MultilingualPress. Maybe they work better in your context.

    @swisspidy thank you for the clarification. I do hope things keep on working after enabling this in WP6.5
    Most of my troubleshooting work on my website is related to translation bugs (WPML). It really feels like a necessary evil in a country like mine.
