Description
Hey there, I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing... I want to completely replace locale module to use this module instead, to reduce the db load of the drupal interface, is this possible?
Seems we need the locale module enabled to be able to override strings in another language?? But once the string overrides are in place, should I disable the locale module? How can I make sure the translations are passed by your module and not locale module anymore??
I tried to import some translations directly into the english language and it does not work... any tips?
Thanks a lot

You shouldn't use this module to provide full translations to a different language. Instead you should just use this module to add additional small changes to the text that's presented.

Ahhhh damn, ok I see.. I thought it was a good way to reduce load on my server... but no!! Thanks for the quick answer! Cheers!

Hello,
Why not using it to fully translate a website ?
Thanks.

Although String Overrides is good for changing stuff that's passed through t(), it isn't really designed to provide full translations as it loads all the translations into the variables table. Locale is designed to be scalable like that as it sticks its translations into its own database table. So, use Locale if you're translating to a different language, and String Overrides if you are just wanting to change some strings on your site.
Hopefully that helps! :-)
