Localization or Globalization

Post by oztech »

Hi, I'm a newbie here.

I just want to ask whether there are good ways to implement localization or Globalization easily in PHP. I want my site to have different languages without creating static pages for each language. In ASP .NET localization is very easy, but in PHP ?? Any comments will be appreciated.

The terms to search for usually include l10n (localisation) and i18n (internationalisation).

I was impressed by the list of tools in the Zend Framwork (ZF)

Today incidentally I came across some Pear classes too:
