[PEPr] Comment on Internationalisation::Maketext

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, Proposal information: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=44 MakeText allows you to write: $msg = "I found [quant,_1,child,children] behind [quant,_2,tree]."; Are you trying to "code" human language using a computer language? Come on! There are thousands of languages. This only works with a few European languages, not all of them. For example, Hungarian is a completely different language, which sticks words together. But some languages have no verbs, others not adjectives, etc... After translating web sites and applications into more than 40 languages, I came to the conclusion that languages are far too complex to "code" sentences using ANY computer language. To my knowledge, writing a Gettext sentence for each case is the only solution.
