Does your class or gettext for that matter handle dates, monetary, and numerical strings by translating them into the appropriate format for the locale? I already have a system for supplying translated text to my application which I developed before I knew about gettext. But I don't as yet have an internationalized system for displaying the items I mentioned.
Can anyone suggest a good strategy for handling all of the various formatting issues related to I18N?

It translates text like gettext does and does not need gettext to be installed on your server. Actually, it is meant to be an abstruction layer of how messages are translated. Currently, there is only I18N_Messages_File class that you can use to do the job. You can find it in CVS. You can look at it at http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/pear/I18N/Messages I am working on gettext wrapper with the exact same API of I18N_Messages_File. That means when it's ready, you can switch back to gettext with little configuration change. Additionally, there is a plan on making I18N_Messages_DB. This class will fetch translated text from the database.
