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: [PHP] 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.

I'm also starting with a multilanguage project, and after a little research, we've decided to use this gettext http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/php-gettext/ Take a look.. might be useful to you also. --- Regards / Saludos Rudi Ullon

[PHP] Language Translation (spanish-english) PHP
Anyone know of an API (soap, xml-rpc, rest, anything) for PHP that assists with language translation? Thanks Russ
Re: [PHP] Language Translation (spanish-english) PHP
It is not a matter of an API, automated translations don't work except for very restricted environments. Some software companies are trying to provide their knowledge base in multiple languages and I admit the results don't stink, but they are far from being a decent translation. It is favored by the fact that it is a restricted subset of the full language and to reach that far it has been tested and refined on a large subset (they already had a good chunk of documents hand-translated) so they only had to extend that expertise over the full set. Nevertheless they all still deal with the same sort of information, all tech-support for developers. I read some encouraging news regarding machine translation recently, but it is still some way of. You have probably dealt with machine translations, if you have ever read the booklet for some cheap electronic product made in China, well, then you know. That's how it turns out. And, if you think it is all the same, I can tell you, Spanish being my native language, if I ever get to a site badly translated don't expect me back, ever.

[PHP] Language translation
What is the most accepted method for translating an application from one language to another? Is it done by a table that does a search and replace, i.e. one-to-one translation? Or does one actually translate the code verbatim? Is there a white paper somewhere?
