Pattern Translations: Skip rewriting translations that have not changed - #789
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The twice-daily translation import rewrote every existing translated pattern on each run, around 90,000 posts, even though only a few thousand a day actually change. Each rewrite fires the full set of save hooks, so Jetpack Sync queues and sends the whole post every time. On the Patterns site that keeps one Cavalcade worker busy for about nine hours a day. Before writing, compare the stored translation with what the write would store, after the same save-time sanitizing, and leave it alone when nothing differs. Copy the parent's categories and keywords only when they differ, as setting terms invalidates every cached term query on the site even when nothing changes.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change skips rewriting translations that have not changed, which cuts redundant save hooks and sync events. One minor concern remains open: a stored GMT date that is out of step with the local date may no longer be corrected on import. This is a low-impact edge case and does not block merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Around line 169-170: Update the comparison between $stored and $post->$field
to normalize the translated value using WordPress’s posts-table charset
handling, including utf8mb3 emoji encoding, before deciding whether to skip the
write; preserve the existing write behavior when the normalized values differ.
- Around line 175-176: Update the current-state check in the $args field loop to
include post_date_gmt, comparing the stored value with the GMT date
wp_insert_post() would derive from post_date. Preserve WordPress’s floating-date
behavior for statuses where dates should remain floating.

…rites Derive the stored block types for a translation from its own content, the same way the post update hook does. Copying the parent's value meant a parent with a stale value left its translations differing on every run, so they were rewritten forever. Set the fields an update used to reset by omission, such as the password, excerpt and comment status, so an edit to one of them on a translation is still undone, and compare every post field the write would store. Log whether each translation was created, updated or left unchanged, read term IDs through the object term cache, and add tests for stale block types, meta-only changes and a reset password.
Shorten the new code comments and drop one that described the previous behavior rather than the current code.
Encode emoji in the title, content and excerpt before comparing when the posts table cannot store them, as a write does, so translations with emoji are not rewritten on every run. Copy the parent GMT date as well, so a translation with a stale one is still corrected.
…d review Pass the parsed blocks through a variable again, as the flattening helper takes them by reference and the direct call raised a notice on every pattern save. Report a translation as written when only its terms change, set the remaining fields a write used to reset, and read meta without registered defaults so a missing row counts as a difference. Split the tests so each one changes a single thing.

The twice-daily
pattern_import_translations_to_directoryjob callswp_insert_post()andwp_set_object_terms()for every existing translation on every run, whether anything changed or not. That is ~90k translated patterns rewritten twice a day, while revisions show only a few thousand real content changes a day outside of bulk string updates.Each rewrite fires the save hooks, so Jetpack Sync enqueues a
jetpack_sync_save_postwith the full post every time. On wordpress.org/patterns, 627 of 640 queued sync events were exactly that, andjetpack_sync_cronon the site runs up against its 240s limit most runs, using about 9 Cavalcade worker-hours a day. Setting terms also bumps the site-wide termslast_changed, invalidating every cached term query, twice per translation per run.This PR:
