gettext is a powerful tool and i personally use it but the point is you have to install the GNU gettext
package in order to get a working gettext package in your PHP installation plus that you have to have {--with-gettext} option added with your PHP build which means that you need root access in order to set things up and use gettext, and i think that out there, there are a lot of people who doesn't have root access and their server maintainers refuses to install gettext tool for a reason or another, so i think that the localization should be kept with an array so we can make sure that everything is running fine regarding the localization for everyone.
<br>here you can find a very good tutorial about gettext {<a href="http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2002/06/13/php.html">http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2002/06/13/php.html</a>}<br>also don't forget that we are using smarty in our templating, which means that you need to deal with smarty-gettext plugin provided by the smarty project, you can find it here {
