    <p>When you call the gettext php function for translating text to another language, it uses the text you have on the page to act as the KEY/ID to lookup the value to replace it with</p> <pre><code>echo gettext('hello how are you today'); </code></pre> <p>that would be the text used to lookup the translation, however I would like to use something like this </p> <pre><code>echo gettext('welcome_message'); </code></pre> <p>and have that translated into English and any other language I offer. So how could I make this happen? How can I make gettext function ALWAYS use a language file? So if my default language is English for the site then instead of gettext showing <strong>welcome_message</strong> to an English user it would show <strong>hello how are you today</strong> </p> <p>Is it as simple as just creating an English language file in addition to the other language files?</p>

    1. CO_('text') is the same as doing gettext('text'), there is no need for the lang() function.

    2. COI realize that, i do it for other reason, like sometimes when gettext extension is not available for testing, I can use an array or constants o anyway, it makes my app more flexible. That is not my question here though

    3. COAlso two or three underscores are used as translation function often. This gives even more flexibility like: if there's no built-in gettext extension, just echo the stuff or if flag X is set, read translations from DB etc. Then you just use xgettext --keyword=__. Also Zend_Translate can read gettext strings without the actual PHP extension and has stuff like ->isTranslated() ->hasLanguage('finnish') etc.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
