[drupal-support] i18n module

[bruno at indymedia.be]

hello Mohammed,

I had the same question as you're having.. the way I do it now is by 
putting the strings (words, or pieces of text) I want to translate 
between t(). afterwards you can look for your string in the locales 
admin and translate each string for each language. to call the string 
in, let's say, a menu, you can use a <?php echo t(...) ?>

dunno if the echo is the cleanest way to do it, but it works fine for me.

best,
-- bruno
