i said SUPPORT your oppinion...NOT RESTATE IT! you're telling me that you
want to search ONE FILE that has MULTIPLE sections where language text needs
to be maintained and update them all WITHOUT making a mistake...EVER.
ROFLMFAO. have YOU EVER programmed with i18n in mind?!
how do you overcome the memory wasted in pulling in ONE FILE when only a
small portion of it is needed?
i say again, SUPPORT your oppinion with FACT or EXPERIENCE...NOT UNINFORMED

|
| just make template for example
|
| <div id="data">
| <h1>{title}</h1>
| <p>{body}</p>
| </div>
|
| 1. in session you will store current language
| 2. when you will show data just get adequate text (language) - for session
| language variable from db or xml file
| 3. put it into your template
| 4. have fun
first, you DON'T need templates AT ALL. a simple translation function
suffices:
<h1><?= language::translate(phrases::$helloWorld, language::en_us) ?></h1>
not saying one is better than the other, just that you aren't limited to
just template based design.
1. store the current language...no shit?!
2. you: pull in one enormous file and parse to get to the right section.
us: pick the correct language file (smaller by leaps and bounds) and
parse.
3. again, no shit?!
4. actually program i18n first, then continue to drivel.
