I'd suggest gettext - there is gettext support in php 3.0.something (6?
9?) and  later, and in php4 (compile --with-gettext). There's not much
documentation right now, but it's pretty easy to use - you make the
translations, set the locale, and then put _() around all your strings,
and boom, it works. Fast, and also fairly standard.
