RE: i18n 1.2 - database tables
CakePHP 1.2 uses gettext for i18n, which places the contents on text files, as you can read here: http://ar.php.net/gettext So if you need your text elements to be on a database (thus allowing your application to easily modify them) you'll need to implement i18n DB support by yourself, or better yet integrate an existing i18n DB based package on Cake.

Re: i18n 1.2 - database tables
Hi Mariano I have done some reading on gettext since your post and wondered if creating the pot files is possible using 'xgettext' command? since the strings that need translating in the cake views are not wrapped using PHP's gettext() function.

Richard, Before 1.2.x.x is released stable I will have a CLI script that will generate the .pot files for an application. I have it working with all the possible translations functions now but need to refactor it a little more before I am ready to merge it into the core.

RE: i18n 1.2 - database tables
As you clearly stated, xgettext will look for gettext() function calls while CakePHP uses __() as the function call. You can use the option --keyword to change which function calls should xgettext will look: $ xgettext --keyword=gettext,__:1 --language=PHP -n *.ctp In there we're enabling the normal gettext function call (in case you have any) and also the __() function call looking for the string on the first parameter to the function. PS: I haven't tried this, tell me if it works. -MI --- Remember, smart coders answer ten questions for every question they ask. So be smart, be cool, and share your knowledge.
