That's very nice, help is welcome in fact :-)

Multilanguage support is a long-term todo of course, but until now we=20
did not spend time on it. I have however already written a function=20
which permits easy multilanguage support for any php application.


The main function is this:

function i18n($defaultstring,$string_id) {
 global $strings;
 if (isset($strings[$string_id])) {
  return $strings[$string_id];
 } else {
  return $defaultstring;
 }
}


Then, to use another language than english, simply add this to the main=20
include.php (or config.php):

require_once('lang/german.php');

With lang/german.php containing:

<?php

$strings =3D array(

// index.php
1 =3D> 'Forum',
2 =3D> 'Neue Nachricht',
14 =3D> 'Suchen',

// message.php
3 =3D> 'Autor:',
4 =3D> 'Datum:',
5 =3D> 'Titel:',
6 =3D> 'Abschicken',
7 =3D> 'Abbruch',
8 =3D> 'Beantworten',

// post.php
9 =3D> 'Neues Thema',
10 =3D> 'Autor:',
11 =3D> 'Titel:',
12 =3D> 'Abschicken',
13 =3D> 'Abbruch'

);

?>


Then, in the php files that output strings, the i18n function must be=20
used for printing these strings:

<form action=3D"search.php" method=3D"get" name=3D"search">
<input name=3D"q" type=3D"text" size=3D"20" maxlength=3D"40">
<input type=3D"submit" value=3D"<?=3Di18n('Search',14)?>">
</form>


What does the list think about this way to achieve multilanguage=20
support?
