Re: [Web-erp-developers] smarty multiple language

[Hani N. <ha...@na...>]

If you guys do decide to use Smarty you will get a nice feature relating 
to translations.
With a little configuration you can get smarty to do translation when it 
compiles the templates,
this means that for static text your code just translates it once (the 
first time the template is compiled).
After a page has been accessed one time all the 'static' text will not 
need to be translated.

Having said this, using smarty properly you require quite a bit of 
refactoring of weberps code.
