If you want to seriously build this, keep it dynamic and make it possible to
add other languages along the way, check out gettext:
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.gettext.php
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html
It will certainly help in keeping track of translations, and depending on
your setup you translators will have an easy job translating required text.
Maybe you could also check out this:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/php-gettext/
