Please, do not translate type names between <type> and </type> (as well as function names between <function> and</function>), because in this case after compiling manual relative link will not be inserted (inserting occurs when type name out of <methodsynopsis> element). Also I think that we shouldn't translate type names in function reference. There is several arguments for that: - When you do type casting you using '(integer)', '(array)' and so on. Not '(ÃÅÌÏÅ)' or '(ÍÁÓÓÉ×)'. - When programmer uses some of variable functions (like var_dump(), print_r() or gettype()) all of them return non-Russian names as well (include here settype()). - Many of PHP programmers already know about this standard types from other languages. Thus for clearer understanding I think we should leave type names not translated in function syntax description. However within other text (not between <type> and </type>) they can be translated. - At last, programmers themselves (almost all whom I know) second this opinion. So it seems to be that tronic is only who whants to translate them ;)
