Speaking of, what is the current state-of-the-art for i18n? Basically
just tables of format strings looked up by language and a phrase
identifier?

Like (more or less):

assert("Hello $name" == i18n[US_ENGLISH][HELLO]);

?


I do know of at least one way *not* to do it. I once worked at a
VB6 company where their idea of i18n was:

XLate("You have ") + numOranges + XLate(" oranges.")

Sooooo many things wrong with that...
