    This is my first look on PHP Gift Registry and it looks pretty good. I had no deeper look into source code but the UI and concepts are looking simple and clean.

    I want to use the application as replacement for the Amazon wishlists to share the lists privatelly instead of publicly between familly members. However, before I can deploy the application I have some additional requirements:

    * Support for another language than english (mandatory)
    * Support for different currency by also considering "," instead of "." as decimal marker (mandatory)
    * One-Click creation of entries of articles provided by Amazon (optional). This might be also realized as browser plugin!?
    * Users can have more than one wishlist (optional)

    I also read in the forum that some user aim for a Joomla extension which might already provide multilanguage if it will happen.

    Could you imagine such features in your application? Do you need help to implement them?

    I started working on the multilanguage feature and I going to translate the application into german. If you are interessted in my changes: Where can I submit them as soon as I have a reasonable state.

    What system do people recommend for making a PHP application multi-lingual?  I'm not interested in rewriting it in Smarty or anything like that.

    Thank you.

    I have learned that there are a lot of extensions for doing the multilanguage thing . But most of them are real extensions needing external libraries or are still in development. Because of that I started writing my own simple multilanguage system for the application. Benefits are:

    * Works out of the box
    * Works with PHP 4.x and later
    * Simple and straightforward
