OK, I did that. I am able to produce an appropriate sed file and the
corresponding *.lang files.

Here I have been too fast. It is in fact easy to let sed do the work. But
there are 2 cases:

1. We have something like
	echo "TRANSLATE[[Login]]"
   This could be replaced by echo "".$TRANSLATE["Login"]."" very easily,
   and all should be well. But this would break if there was one statement
   like
	echo TRANSLATE[[something]] (note the missing quotes)
   which is unlikely (I think) but would come out of the process as
	echo "$TRANSLATE["something"]" (note the wrong quotes)
   All in all not very nice, but it would work (read: until we have a better
   solution)

2. We have something like
	<?php ... ?>
	<p>TRANSLATE[[Login]]</p>
	<?php ... ?>
   Now this breaks about everything. This doesn't work. Sigh.

Please consider my steeping forward to be grinded to a unwanted halt. That
is - unless someone has a very bright idea... besides seperating code and
presentation very cleanly.

Karsten

Because we use emacs, son. They use vi.
