RE: [PHP-I18N] How to make the i18n without serious tools?

For Web applications you may as well maintain your strings in a =
database.

The language table will have columns for message key, language =
identifier, and string.
MSG0, en-US, Welcome to our website!
MSG0, fr-CA, .....
MSG125, en-US, blah blah...
MSG125, fr-CA, ....

You can be a bit more clever and have keys consist of web page and id, =
so that you can easily read into n array all the keys associated with a =
page for a single language, and then reference them from the array =
rather than individual database calls. But with good database cacheing, =
it=E2=80=99s not always a significant optimization.

Subject: [PHP-I18N] How to make the i18n without serious tools?

Hello Php-i18n,
I need to make my projects international. However, my hosting provider
won't install anything for me, so no GetText, no ICU.
Could you suggest me something?
I tried to make constants definitions like this:
<?
define("MSG0", "Welcome to our website!");
...
define(MSG125", "blah blah");
?>
But it's reeeally hard to maintain in future.
Thanks!
