I created a library with a getLocalizedText($tag) method that would do the
following:
1. Check the cookies for a user-configured language.
2. If #1 fails, check the Accept-Language header.
3. If #2 fails, default to "en".
4. Return self{"localized_text"}{$language}{$tag}
$tag is an identifier for the text, such as "invoice". You may also want to
deal with specializations of a language falling back to the main language, such
as "en-br".
The __load__ method of the library does the following:
1. Create a global collection in self{"localized_text"}.
2. For each language, create an item keyed on the language code whose value is
a global collection.
3. For each language code collection, create an item for each localized text,
keyed on its tag, whose value is the localized text.
In the __unload__ method, do deep clear collection(self{"localized_text"}.
