Thank you Michel,

what I want to achieve is, that poEdit collects the string. I extended 
Smarty already for translating the strings and it works fine. But poEdit 
would not find my strings.

Why it must be <h1><?php echo _("Benutzer"); ?></h1> instead of only 
_("Benutzer") that poEdit recognise _("Benutzer") as string to be 
translated?

Next I tried to use a php file strings.php with a list

_("Benutzer")
_("xxx")

etc. even that won't work. And this solution would not be so elegant as 
I would prefer it. I would appreciate to have a deeper understanding 
what xgettext is doing by recognising strings within a source file. The 
documentation  is not so clear for me at that point.

Thank you

with regards

Axel
