Good to know :) - a little bit about myself... Here in South Brazil this
time of the year (it is winter here) is kind of cold, but today is very =
hot.
It would be nice to go to the beach or to take my boat through the winds =
(I
have a small 12 foot sailboat). I live in a beautiful island called
Florian=F3polis, where in the summer the population gets three times =
bigger. I
am very fortunate because I had the opportunity to live in different =
country
(I lived in USA for 5 years) and as I work with sales in our family =
company
(http://www.primor.ind.br), 3 times per year I travel around the world =
to
different countries (specially to Germany and Switzerland), but I never =
been
to the Mediterranean. Should be very nice... Someday I will take my =
family
(me, wife and a daughter and a son on its way) to see the wonders all
around. If I happen to be in your country one day, let's drink a beer =
and
share some laughs :D

[Back to the topic]

Well, the DB approach is nice... But this gettext looks nicer, if we can
have the files being created automatically, so we can control in some =
way
the way the translations are done.

Good enough for me! Well documented code always save a lot of time in
debugging / modifying.

Thank you and best regards,
