I saw some of it when it came through and just read the whole thing from the link. 

Sorry, my mind was wandering last night when I was thinking about how I'd do it in php if I had to and I sent it through thinking it might be helpful.  Looking over the module you described, it looks like a very similar concept, just a different programming language.

However, I do have experience with using different languages in php (not the actual languages, but the mechanics) and it is really pretty simple, but again I don't know how to translate it into perl.
    

You missed the whole spiel I did on getting something similar to this into Dada Mail?

What I'm putting into Dada Mail will kick the system you described to the curb.  To the curb! :)

  
Adding new language files would be as easy as getting the translations.
    

Yup, read my thingy - they system I'm using has this too -  except in my system, those files can be auto-updated, so when the program gets upgraded, so can the language files. If something is missing, the program doesn't break, either. 

What I wrote gets technical, but to people who are doing the translation, it's just file they need to read and translate. 

I'm currently working to get the program in shape, John, to make this happen, but it def. doesn't happen over night. The first step is to actually get Dada Mail to work with different character sets, since it doesn't, right now. The next step is to normalize some of the text in the program - and shorten it too, so translation is easier. After that, I have to make all the text that needs to be translated and then, I have to do a translation myself, to show how its done (and to make sure it works). A lot of work. 

  
Another way would be to use a database to store the various translations and query it for the translation terms.  I've not done it this way, but just thinking about it, I think I would prefer it.
    

The system I'm putting in place supports this too, if someone is to be so bold. I don't think I'll be shipping Dada Mail with the translations like that, though.
