Well, localization seems to be a major concern.

I would suggest to use the standard gettext library for localization.

The advantage is that gettext is a well known localization system and has a lot of tools that can help translators.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm working on a quick i18n localisation system for 0.7 release.
But I don't plan to use gettext because I want the chat works on most of php configurations.
I know gettext is a problem on some php installations so I prefere to make a quick and simple i18n module.
Am I wrong ?

I agree, kerphi!

I could probably cause a lot of problems, and a simple i18n module is very easy to edit and translate.
btw: Are you planning to let the chat autodetect which language the browser uses??

No I didn't plan to do that.
But it's a good idea

Do you have a piece of code which do that ?

Use the $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] variable.

for example:

Code: Select all

$lang = explode(",",$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);
echo $lang[0];
