[geeklog-devel] Gettext and ISP's

[Tony Bibbs]

Actually, if we do this we'll use the factory design pattern to get a 
valid translation object.  That code would look more like this:

$translator = &TranslationFactory::getTranslator();
echo $translater->gettext('some arbitrary text');

The translation factory would determine if they configured stuff for 
gettext or not and send back the right object.

The main problem with supporting both is you have to translate twice which 
would be a major PITA for translaters and, my guess is you will only get 
one or the other methods...not both.
