globalization / localization

[alex]

Hi,

I'd like to globalize my website.
I've seen some pre-coded php apps using this kind of code :

echo __('Hello') ;

This displays the Hello message in the correct language.
I can't get how it works and no doc over the web about that !

Could you please tell me more ?

Thanks in advance,

There is documentation, you just have to look for it:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.gettext.php

As you'll see there, the _() function is an alias of gettext().

In fact, I didn't know it was an alias... thank you !
