All translatable strings are put in {t}...{/t} tags, which are then being given to gettext. Anyway, we couldn't implement this as a block function, since smarty returns it's data parsed to the block function (making it impossible to embed smarty syntax). We are now using a system that precompiles the templates for each language (not the most ideal way), but the only simple way to do it. Regards, Ruben -- Ruben Vermeersch http://www.Lambda1.be/
