If your provider won't enable gettext or required system locales for 
you, add php gettext classes to your software. You can do gettext 
without PHP gettext extension support. Older php-gettext does not have 
dependency on mbstring, if your brain dead provider does not enable it 
too. IDN support can be implemented in pure PHP too.

constants, arrays and html templates with translation are not 
maintainable (personally went through couple of version upgrades on html 
template based translation) and have problems with plurals.
