Sorry for the really delayed response, but this can be done as follows: EN: $format="Welcome %s to %s!"; sprintf($format, $APP, $USER ); DE: $format = "Willkommen %2$s, %1$s!"; sprintf($format, $APP, $USER ); Bascially, that functionality is built into sprintf(). > A small admin-application needs to be written for that, right now i > am still writing the translated text straight in the DB. :-) > an example which uses this translation class is here: > > http://wolfram.kriesing.de/libs/php/examples/SimpleTemplate/fullFeatu > red/ just push on the "german" link to translate part of the text.

While I use it personally for production sites, it's integration into HORDE is still in the alpha-stage, I think. You can browse the source at http://cvs.horde.org/cvs.php/babel. - Colin
