I'm really interested in making this work, but since I know virtually nothing 
about i18n (English being my first language) I'd be greatful for some help :)

Where was this i18n() function mentioned earlier? Is there a built in PHP 
i18n() function or would we need to roll our own?

Would this be in addition to i18n() or just one needed?

I think this has been done.

Will take a look into this...

What is the "extra disclaimer" for?

Will think about implementing these.

I think we use UTF-8 now so this shouldn't be a problem.

I think this might have been done, if not I'll look at this later.

Will think about this.

This has been already done I think.
