RE: [PHP] Multiple language support design question

I would further suggest you use graphic icons as much as you can. A picture is worth a thousand words and is universal. i.e. a red X probably means delete. A ? Prolly meands help/info. An icon of a person, icons of computers, etc... This will save you lots of 'porting' issues.
