WordPress core current source .l10n.php translation-revision-date po-revision-date WP_Translation_Controller

💡 Result:

In WordPress core, the components you referenced relate to the translation system's infrastructure for handling PHP-based translation files (.l10n.php) and the centralized management of translation data [1][2][3]..l10n.php and Metadata The .l10n.php file format was introduced to provide a more performant alternative to traditional .mo and .po translation files [3]. WordPress uses the function wp_get_l10n_php_file_data() to extract specific header metadata from these files [1][4]. The headers extracted include [1]: - POT-Creation-Date (mapped from 'pot-creation-date') - PO-Revision-Date (mapped from 'po-revision-date') - Project-Id-Version (mapped from 'project-id-version') - X-Generator (mapped from 'x-generator') These headers are standard in Gettext PO/POT files, and wp_get_l10n_php_file_data ensures that PHP translation files maintain compatibility with this metadata structure [1][2]. WP_Translation_Controller Introduced in WordPress 6.5, WP_Translation_Controller serves as a core class for managing translation loading and retrieval [5][6]. It acts as a centralized controller to handle multiple translation files for a given text domain [5][7]. Key responsibilities of this controller include [5]: - Loading translation files (load_file) [6]. - Locating translations for strings within specific text domains and locales (locate_translation) [7]. - Managing the state of loaded files and translations [5][6]. - Providing utility methods to retrieve information about loaded files, such as headers, via get_headers() [5]. Together, these systems represent a modernization of WordPress's internationalization (i18n) stack, shifting toward more efficient PHP-based file parsing and centralized object-oriented management [3][5].

Preserve po-revision-date for WordPress compatibility.

wp_get_l10n_php_file_data() reads PO-Revision-Date from po-revision-date. PhpArrayGenerator::toArray() emits only translation-revision-date, so WordPress readers can lose the revision date. Emit both keys, or update the reader and end-to-end coverage in the same change. Update the features/makephp.feature scenario that currently asserts the legacy key is absent.

PhpArrayGenerator::toArray() and its headers_allowlist to emit the legacy
po-revision-date key alongside translation-revision-date, preserving WordPress
compatibility. Adjust the relevant features/makephp.feature scenario to expect
the legacy key rather than asserting it is absent.
