Unfortunately we have some textual data kept in database tables. Some are well defined like "male-female" case, but some are just free to write in. This causes trouble in multi-language forums...

If we categorize them:

  1. Token Case: E.g. Male-Female

  2. Fixed Setup Case: Forum Title, Copyright, Member Rank Names, [TIMER] text, etc

  3. Mixed Setup Case: Group Categories names

  4. Free case: Any text inside



We don't deal with case #4, but we need to provide solutions to the first three...
Token case is easy if the options are few. Fixed setup case can be (has been) solved by defining new substitutes in each language.

Mixed set-up case is a bit tough. The data is in the database, and admins can add new items (e.g. new grup category names) to them... But we need to have that in different languages.

The only option I can think of is the method I used in http://www.istanbulmuzesi.org/forum

Any ideas?
