In our xml content we use i18n which would be used as such. <i18n>query.message.success</i18n> We would send this page through an additional translation step which would replace the key with the appropriate message. In PHP sites I have seen the keys done using associative arrays. i18n['query.message.success'] Which has its key value stored in a separate file that is included. You can use the language to control which external key file is loaded to do the key replacement. With the key approach you have a centralized location where all of your text strings are stored, and you can easily and quickly setup a program which will allow people to translate these values into additional languages via a web gui. I have seen this for some open source applications and you can have some rapid internationalization going on if you use this approach. Dan @ [url=http://www.codetown.org]Code Town[/url] Loading...
