It's doable. You'd have to change PHPTAL code to translate text immediately where possible – search for code that generates translate() calls and make it generate constant strings. And you'd have to change caching to cache each language separately (tweak in PHPTAL::getFunctionName() should suffice). However, you'd also need to add some efficient way to figure out when translation files were updated or PHPTAL would never see need to recompile templates with new text. I don't know how to do that efficiently for gettext() without making updates error-prone (it's bad enough already that Apache needs restart). -- regards, Kornel _______________________________________________ PHPTAL mailing list PHPTAL@lists.motion-twin.com http://lists.motion-twin.com/mailman/listinfo/phptal
