I wasn’t aware of the great limitation of PHP 4. Improper OO support,  and even lacking of a referenced foreach element.  As a result, the older xLanguage couldn’t be deployed on PHP 4 system.
Personally I don’t have any PHP 4 usable web environment.  Getting a PHP4 CLI environment is my current limits as I am afraid I don’t have time to setup a standalone PHP 4 web server now.  Well, v1.0.5 at least pass the test script, and I just cross my fingers and hope it works in PHP4.

Enjoy! And I really need successful deployment report.

A WordPress plugin that allows you to blog in multi-language, and users to select which to read. If your want to localize and present your blog in different languages (totally with title, rss, categories working, not just the post) and allows visitors to pick the language they want, this plugin is for you.

What kind of gadget can stand for more than a hundred years without any sign of fading out, yet? Analog phone is being replaced by VoIP; US, EU and Australia has passed the law to ban incandescent light bulb in a few year; Low power wired transformers are replaced by their IC-based brother; Keys are replaced by Smartcard in many access control points; Broadcasting is going to be digitalized; and the list just go on and on…But most people in the world is still typing with a QWERTY based keyboard!

Did anyone tell you that’s it’s not the only option? Just like how general public thought IE is not the only browser, does Dvorak sounds to you like Firefox to them?
