Title: Native Gettext for WordPress Author: colinleroy Published: 26 febrewaris, 2022 Last modified: 22 maaie, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/native-gettext.svg) # Native Gettext for WordPress Troch [colinleroy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/colinleroy/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/native-gettext.1.1.5.zip) * [Details](https://fy.wordpress.org/plugins/native-gettext/#description) * [Resinsjes](https://fy.wordpress.org/plugins/native-gettext/#reviews) * [Ûntwikkeling](https://fy.wordpress.org/plugins/native-gettext/#developers) [Stypje](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/native-gettext/) ## Beskriuwing This plugin has no setting or UI. It just does one thing : use the php-gettext library to handle translations. This results in much faster translation than using the default PHP gettext implementation of WordPress. If the extension is not available, the plugin will simply do nothing. You can verify that the plugin is working by looking for an HTTP header: X-Native- Gettext: 1, that will be sent as soon as a string will be translated by the native library. If your WordPress install is in English, this plugin has no purpose. Otherwise, it can help speed up your install quite a lot. Requirements: – php-gettext – OS-level support for the locale(s) you want to translate to. ## Resinsjes ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6b6828d80a4b959f8584a331032769c86ceb4f3b40267c4573569b1caaca6c69? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Really speed up an italian site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-speed-up-an-italian-site/)󠁿 [Annonnimmo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/annonnimmo/) 19 augustus, 2024 Used on a WP 5.6.x in italian language: frontend pages from 600ms to less than 400ms, great effect!!Thank you. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cd257f389c91f137dab25f343b527123e887135b01921ebb6206e40cfa2eb636? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works as it says, fast](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-it-says-fast/)󠁿 [Knut Sparhell](https://profiles.wordpress.org/knutsp/) 20 juny, 2022 No problems found, after testing on several sites. My sites are all heavily dependent on fast loading of text domains, and all have the PHP gettext extension. PHP 8.0 and 8.1. However, may not work in combination with other WordPress plugins overriding load_textdomain. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f99ef16a50d87ccfe464631d036468e3b795ba0c7b1200d1afb01a100aaf7c8f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fast & Friendly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fast-friendly-3/)󠁿 [Carsten Bach](https://profiles.wordpress.org/carstenbach/) 19 juny, 2022 1 reakce Great Plugin.
