Re: [Phpwiki-talk] About languages

Today while I was adding a few more German translations to the 
template/Edit.html I realized a small problem in using the _("text") 
function to translate localized text, has this already been discussed?

Different languages have different word ordering. When a key word needs to 
be added to the end of a sentence in english, it might need to be inserted 
into the middle of the sentence in another language.

For example:

English:
$_("Author will be logged as") <i>${USERID}</i>.

German:
$_("Der Autor wird als") <i>${USERID}</i> aufgenommen.

Is there an existing way around this? Without a code-based solution Wiki 
may be stuck with individual localized templates.
