Hi,

I have a question about the way drupal uses translations. From what i understand,
all translated strings are saved in the database, which (IMHO) might slow down
sites with a LOT of traffic.
What i was wondering is how can i alter drupal's behavior so that instead of looking up the
translated string in the DB, it would look it up in a file. this way, once the file cached on the server,
things should run faster.

I am not asking how to hack drupal's core code, i am looking for a way to implement a module
that would make the required changes. The question is, are there some hooks that would allow me
to implement those behavior changes? Any module that already does that?

Thanks

Drupal already caches the translated strings. See the locale function in locale.module
