A discussion on localization caught my eye, and fleshes out the issues involved. It took me back to a project I did with Bernard on 2001 where we had to translate a portal system for 13 country’s in Europe, each with multiple languages each.
Since I’ve been keeping translation in the back on my mind while developing ComPort i had a look around to see what’s out there for PHP:
- PHP: gettext - Manual is PHP’s in built text translation effort. There are some good tutorial on it.
- One of the Wordpress guys also mentioned multibyte functions in PHP to handle funny character encodings.
One day ComPort will be in Japanese…(one day)…
