How to i18n better?

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and it's my first message.
We are making a blog platform (http://oire.org/) which is provided in
several languages (currently they are Russian, Ukrainian, and
English).
Now the i18n process is made as follows: we set a cookie on the site
and depending on it we select the language to display the site in. We
have three (currently) interface files: rus.lng, ukr.lng, and enu.lng
(for English US). the format is the following:
define ("MSG379", "Welcome!");
etc. I know that PHP does support somehow exporting the strings into a
.pod file. Maybe it would be better to do that? If so, how can I do
it?
Could you suggest me maybe a better solution than we currently have?
Thanks a lot!
