Ok, I see...when do you plan to include this feature into eventum? Within the
next months or do we talk about years? I'm asking, because the current version
(1.3.1) is just perfect for our needs and it would make sense for me to just
translate all the templates and work with that version for years :)

Cheers, Christian

Christian,

what exactly is the problem about it? Are there strings resulting from the database? I thought it's all located in the /templates/en directory?!? Just copying everything from there to a directory, let's say /templates/de, translate all the stuff and switch the language identifier in the corresponding class....isn't it that "easy"???

Yes and No. It may seem "easy" to do these things initially, but the maintenance problem of having two copies of every template is not what we want. What we really want is to remove _all_ of the strings or translatable things from the templates and into .po files or whatever, and then re-use the templates for all languages. Otherwise, each time we develop a new feature, we would need to merge the changes into several directories that basically have the same code.
