Re: [Web-erp-developers] Multilanguage - includes

[skaill <sk...@ro...>]

What about pulling the language stuff out of session.inc and having a
separate script for it.  In this way language.inc can be above everything
including class includes.  I'm thinking if we don't do it then any class
that uses strings will not be translated.
