Language translation

Hey all,

We got a new project and language translation of content is a
major priority. I've googled around and seen lots of options,
but I'd like to hear from the list about more real world
experiences about what some of you found and what both you as
a coder and the client were most satisfied with.

Big Hugs,
Skip

Skip,

What type of content are you looking to franslate? Forms or more
narrative blog type entries?

How many languages are you looking to support?

From my experience where the app I am involved with does real time
translation of forms and essentially builds the forms on the fly, is
that translation is a real bottleneck. I lost the vote on this since
my goal was to cache out the forms in their individual languages.

The future versions of this type of app will most certainly allow
caching of the forms to only do the translation once and only when the
form changes require it. It will also use google's translate to
translate the form' elements into the defined system languages.

Re: Language translation

gettext -not PHP, but a GNU project.
PHP hooks: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/book.gettext.php, which
contains a link to the project.

In the past I've coded arrays of prompts, this is a more native solution.

Cheers - Miles

I'm also starting with a multilanguage project, and after a little research,
we've decided to use this gettext

Take a look.. might be useful to you also.
