[wp-hackers] Re: Translation problems after automatic plugin upgrade

[DD32]

I think it would've definately been a problem under 2.6, It had a list
of file types to select between Ascii or binary for, IIRC, that list
didnt specify .mo, so it would've been left to the server config..

However, 2.7 includes a detection method for that sort of thing (If it
contains any non-ascii its treated as a binary file).. So it should
happen automatically for 2.7.

Of course.. That doesnt mean there wasnt a bug in my implementation of
it (I have to admit, I never tested .mo's, only images.. which are
binary..)
