First off, you might want to get a fresh copy of the CVS tree that we are 
currently working on. The module is called phpslash-dev, and you can get it 
from:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=10566

The anonymous CVS is fine for now. You can just go into the include 
directory and look for the locale stuff.

The getext implementation we are using is pretty straight forward:
"key"=>"value"

Where Key is actually a string and Value is the same thing (for the en.php 
file). For the rest of the files, Key will be the english string and Value 
is whatever other language.

Example:

en.php:
"Hello World" => "Hello World"

es.php:
"Hello World" => "Hola Mundo"

You might want to take a close look to what's missing from the current 
.es.php file. Blame me for all the bad translations in that file; i tried my 
best to use "modern" definitions for words that are originally English and 
for which I have no idea how to say in any other language ;-) In other 
words, I do all my online surfing in either English (primarily) or French 
(go figure)(I guess because I'm exposed to Spanish daily, so I don't worry 
much about practicing it). Anyway, I hope this was not too basic for you ;-) 
But, it will help other people who might want to help with other languages, 
especially those for which we have no translators yet.

Please note that those locale files cover most of the strings for 
phpslash-dev, but there are still some strings lurking somewhere. We will 
get to those and add them to the en.php file so that translators can get 
their hands on them and update the other *.php files.

Thanks in advance for your help!
If you need more help, don't hesitate in writing to the 
php...@li... mailing list. If you are not a member 
of that list, you might want to become one since the majority of the 
discussions go through that list first -- that way you will get first hand 
news on upcoming releases.

Oh, almost forgot, when done with the es.php file, just send it back to me 
as a .gz or whatever so that I can commit it to the CVS repository (or Joe 
for that matter).
