ccHost currently is in need of standard Open Source translations. Victor Stone, a core developer on the project has created one way to for admins to edit strings and to solve this problem. Unfortunately, to complete the task and be compatible with 95% of the localization strategies in the world, ccHost is transitioning to use the common application, gettext.

The following steps outline the process of making ccHost gettextable:

# (DONE) develop test case for understanding how to plug into the project
# (DONE) comment out old cc-language.php classes and code temporarily
# (DONE) connect together the primary locale selection system in cc-language.php
# connect up the event handing for all this locale stuff
# add ability to create and manage PO files in PHP that is abstract enough to be used across different projects.
# replace all cct() functions with gettext().
# add UI for the selection of languages, similar to CC's
# Connect up admin string editor
# make selectable locale system for

/WEBROOT/
/locale
/PROJECT_NAME (for setting up a ccmixter and cchost translatable .po file.
