Maybe you want something out of the Gettext namespace?	[reply]

hi gskoli, you could create translation files : en.txt `monday = monday tuesday = tuesday wednesday = wednesday thursday = thursday friday = friday saturday = saturday sunday = sunday` [download] fr.txt `monday = lundi tuesday = mardi wednesday = mercredi thursday = jeudi friday = vendredi saturday = samedi sunday = dimanche` [download] create a function `load_trans($lang)` which loads the "$lang.txt" file in a hash and then use `my %trans=load_trans('fr'); print $trans{'monday'};` [download] Have a nice day "There is only one good, namely knowledge, and only one evil, namely ignorance."
