ok - I have a site in English -
it has a back end with about 25 separate functional pages
each page has 10 -20 text inputs/textareas /checkboxes /dropdowns etc
I need to translate all the on screen field titles into another language - Greek - which of course I don't read and it's a different character set
Plus of course error messages etc.
I've worked on foreign language jobs in the past and found it a pain - and that was just for printed matter.
I'm not asking about character encoding - I'm just trying to figure out what is the best method to implement this
(It's possible I may need to do another language in the future)
So I can put all the words in a db and use arrays to drop them into the page but it seems inefficient to do it this way.
Is using a text file any less resource intensive?
The new words only need to be set once, but the admin section is not generated programatically so I guess I'm s.o.o.l. there
If I do it all for English first and have that working off a db then any other language is then controllable.
Any tips?
