Internationalisation and my PHP Development Infrastructure

Conclusion

Now that the software is in place it should be simple (in theory) to cater for new languages simply by creating a new subdirectory for the language, then dropping in a set of files which contain the translated text. This system may not be able to cater for every language or locale that exists, but it will deal with the most common ones.

My sample application has been updated with all this code, so feel free to download it and try it out. Contributions of translated files will be most welcome.
