I’ve spent some time developing a plugin for i18n. What it actually does, is to extend the i18n to support different load mechanisms. First of all there is the simple everyone knows. Then i created a new Loader which loads the files from directories like the classic one. But when loading the content of a file, it is not just merged all together. What it actually does is checkout where the translation file is located and depending on it’s path, it pushes the translations in that position in the translation hash. For me the translation files look more dry. I don’t know if it’s usefull to somebody, but check it out: [http://github.com/menostos/i18n\_nested](http://github.com/menostos/i18n_nested) ---

actually i think not, because you’re probably gone load more files than before. but the translation will still be as fast as before. i don’t know if it matters if it’s faster because i don’t think many of production applications going to load translations on each request. ---
